Quaint and perfect location to Rose Palace

We were looking for proximity to the Rose Palace, it was perfect for going to and from to check on horses. Communication with the owner was great and our stay was exactly what we were looking for.

Quiet and Secluded

Place was very clean. Owners provided everything needed for our short stay to go to a family wedding. The guest house is in a quiet secluded area with lots of deer. We were greeted every day by two friendly dogs. Loved that the place had a full kitchen and 2 baths. We will stay again in future trips to the San Antonio area.

Nice place

Nice location. Large deck. Nice neighborhood, and felt secluded. Comfy beds. It is small and the spiral staircase is very narrow, but it fit our needs perfectly. Owners are friendly as are their dogs. Definitely recommend it to others.

Quiet stay away from home

It was an overall pleasant stay. It was a quiet, clean home and the owners were easy to communicate with and very friendly. They were fast to respond to me when I reached out to them. The only really downfall I had staying there was that the downstairs room was dark and seemed to have black out curtains,but upstairs did not. My daughter had a hard time with it being bright in the room she had to sleep in. Overall it was a nice stay tho!

The perfect place for our stay

This quaint little house was perfect for our trip. I need a fully equiped kitchen when I travel, because my allergies make it so that I have to cook most of my meals. The kitchen was compact but had everything I needed and more. The spiral staircase was not an issue for me and the upper area was charming! There was lovely stenciling on the walls and other details that were there made this my favorite place to be. We only used two beds, but I got comments from my grandson and daughter about how comfortable their bed was. My bed was very similar to mine at home, which helped me sleep after a very long drive. It was close to the wedding and reception venues. A bonus was seeing deer in the yard! The owners were very responsive to my questions and requests. If I travel to the San Antonio area again, I will absolutely try to book this place first.

Nice location

We enjoyed the house. It was a nice location and had great amenities. The only issue was the air conditioning. It was a smart thermostat that kept going up to 76 at night without us changing it, so no one slept well.

Hidden gem in the Hill Country

We needed a place for 4 adults close to Helotes for a concert. This little beauty was perfect for our needs. It’s a guesthouse behind the owners’ home but it’s super quiet, there’s a nice rooftop deck with a fire pit to sit and enjoy the scenery, and it was immaculately clean and well decorated. Hreat communication from the owners who didn’t not need to be prompted to give us keypad codes or instructions —very rare these days!! Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home. We took advantage of the kuerig coffee in the morning. The space was just right for the 3 of us. We surprised by all the deer in the neighborhood. Hugo and Heidi greeted us every time we came back from our excursions. San Antonio is a great place to visit! Thank you for your hospitality!

Peaceful getaway!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. Very nice people. They have gone above and beyond to make the house comfortable and have added many touches you won't find anywhere else. The location is set in amongst lots of oak trees with deer aplenty. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and convenient

Four of us stayed for a girls weekend, Thursday through Monday. Very clean, nicely decorated, and the owners are friendly without being invasive. The dogs Heidi and Hugo are sweet. The check in was easy. Lots of deer. Nice upstairs deck to enjoy in the evening or morning. Overall a lovely place that I will recommend to others and would definitely stay at again.

I could ask for nothing more

This stay was for a "late" Mother's Day gift - I brought my mother down from north Texas to see The Bellamy Brothers at Floore's Country Store - we both LOVE to listen to live music. The check-in process was a breeze - the property owner sent instructions the day before our arrival I believe and they were simple. Shortly after we arrived he came out of the "main" house to meet us, ask if we needed anything, and ensure that we were completely comfortable. He stayed in contact regularly, but not so as much to be a bother - we were glad for the contact. We had a 350 mile drive home and he and his wife were so classy as to ask for a text or a message via the app when we arrived home so they could make sure we were safe. We really appreciated this - it was NOT as if we were just another renter to provide him with revenue - we met really GOOD people, which are rare these days. I would change nothing - our stay was so comfortable - it felt like home away from home! I highly recommend this property - I know that when I come back to the San Antonio area I will look to see if it is available for me to stay again!

A great pleasant experience beyond our expectations.

We had no problem communicating wish the owner, and he always insisted to let him know if there was any issues. The amenities we got the comforts of a home with the luxury’s of a fine hotel. The scenic drive was like a picture perfect post card with deer surrounding the landscape. The home was updated with the latest technologies from light censors, wifi internet, right down to the lighted toilet. The over all stay was excellent.
