About the host
Hosted by Paula Kothmann
I'm a professional host who buys wonderful historic properties near downtown & furnishes/equips them for your comfort . I choose top-ranked mattresses and opulent bedding. I have 12 years of experience hosting groups in Austin and San Antonio. Please see my many 5-star reviews on other properties.
Why they chose this property
The Magnificent Mansion Off Main Ave in San Antonio is my largest property, ideal for extended families. I fell in love with the spectacular columns, 2 generous balconies, & 3rd-floor view of the colorful downtown Hemisfair Tower. The wide sidewalks encourage long walks to admire the unique details of the homes in the Monte Vista Historic Neighborhood, whose motto is "Neighbors in History." The stately mansion sits amongst other magnificent homes in a neighborhood steeped in history. The property's proximity to many churches and wedding venues makes it an ideal home base for multigenerational groups. My friends call it the "Texas Tara," just north of downtown San Antonio. In my 12 years as hostess, I often had requests for very large groups. This property sleeps 20. Check out my many 5-star reviews at my other properties.
What makes this property unique
This truly unique 3-story house is furnished and equipped for your comfort. 2 modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, & open floor plan retains the mansion's historic charm. The extremely large bedrooms afford privacy. The extra-wide halls have varied seating options. The balconies have breathtaking views. . This home of Dallas Cowboys owner Clint Murchison Jr as a young boy has a darling children's room equipped with a real dollhouse for your favorite children (and children at heart). We offer games for adults as well. Oh, the fun you will have!
