About this property

Southwest Home on San Antonio River

No, we're not on the RiverWalk but we do have over a mile of San Antonio River frontage. Our home is located in the country away from city noises and congestion. However, we are only 15 minutes from the Riverwalk, Alamo Dome, The Alamo, SBC Center (Home of the San Antonio Spurs), Joe Freeman Coliseum and other exiting places and events in San Antonio. Sea World and Fiesta Texas are only 30 minutes away and Schlitterbaum, America's #1 Water Park is only an hour away. Although our river does not compare to the Comal or Guadalupe for tube floating, those locations are not too far away. So you can still go enjoy the tubing and the crowds and come "home" to peace and quiet and relax in the hot tub.

We are situated on 110 acres with over a mile of San Antonio River frontage. Several nice areas have been cleared for fishing and/or swimming. Hiking and biking have been favorites for many who have stayed here. We are minutes from the Rodeo held in San Antonio every February. We have found many arrow heads and other Indian artifacts on our property.

Jack and I are pleased to have visitors to San Antonio stay in our home. We do live in the house. It is our home. However, when guests are here we stay in our master suite which is a 4th bedroom. We have our own entrance and do not need to share the rest of the house with our guests. It is important that you read the Owner Story and the reviews for more information.

This is a large spacious home (4,200 square feet) with lots of open areas. There is a courtyard in the front of the house, a terrace outside two of the three bedrooms and a large back porch perfect with an adjoining deck for cook-outs and entertaining. There is also a hot tub with access from 2 of the 3 bedrooms.

The large family room has a 70 inch big screen TV with surround sound. The living room has a sofa bed and a 32 inch TV.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Heinesh

Host profile image
Jack and Margaret enjoy sharing their home with others. We are an elderly couple with 5 children and 14 grandchildren. We have both vaccinated for Covid-19 and we are extremely carefully about sanitizing our home before and after our guests come and go.

We actually live in the house. It is our home. However, when guests are here we stay in our master suite (a 4th bedroom). We have our own entrance to and from the house. We have our own bathroom and kitchen and do not need to share any of the rest of the house with our guests. We are here for you but we do not interfere with your activities at all. We love having families here.

Why they chose this property

Located on 110 acres with the San Antonio River as a border on one side, we are in the country yet only 8 miles from Brooks City Base where you find restraurants, shopping, banks, gas, hospital - everything you need.

We are within 25 minutes (more or less) of Lackland AFB and Ft. Sam Houston.

What makes this property unique

We are blessed with all kinds of wildlife. The Cardinals frequent our back yard. You can hear the Owls at dusk and the Peacock sounds off on a nightly basis. When walking the trails you might see squirrels, racoons, wild turkeys and wild hogs. The river provides a haven for ducks and has given up quite a bit of catfish, perch and bass.
