Very Pleasant Stay

We were in town for a short visit with family and this was a perfect place for us to stay! The house is spacious and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and very easy to find. The home is close to restaurants and shopping. The beds are very comfortable. Air conditioning works great. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Home!

The home was very beautiful, clean and in a great location. We enjoyed the local deer that would visit every morning. Our host made sure to leave instructions on how to feed them along with a big bag of deer corn. Overall we had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to book again.

Convenient to Hwy281

The location was perfect. The house is a older house that desperately needs the air ducts cleaned. The odor really needs to be taken care of and because of the smell we would probably not stay in this house again. However, the house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed watching the deer come into the back yard every morning.

Such a cute and comfortable property

This was just a quick overnight without many hours spent at the rental. The property was close to everything, very quiet, clean, and cute. Loved all the deer that sleep in the backyard as well.

21st Century with 60’s flair

We really enjoyed staying here. It is a very clean home with a bit of a 60’s flair and it sports a wood-style floor throughout. The neighborhood is super quiet even though the highway is less than a minute away. There is a neighborhood deer herd that we also enjoyed. It’s super close to many amenities. Televisions were new, fridge and freezer were new and bed in the master bedroom seemed new as well. The outdoor patio is great, the yard is a large one and we also loved the trees. We also felt very safe.

Super clean & awesome host

Loved this super clean home for our family stay during the new year. The hostess was so sweet & let us check in early in order to see family that we missed during Christmas. Shocker,….no cleaning expectations upon checkout, except of course you’ll want to keep it as clean as when you checked in. We were so excited to see our daily backyard visitor.,….sweet deer that we named Brave because he just stands there checking you out oh so bravely😊

Peaceful stay

This was a nice quiet play tucked away in San Antonio. Its close to the city but still a feeling of being away in nature. There are deer that hang out and it's very cool to see the family in the yard. The property is large so you have some space and privacy. This was perfect for my wife and our dogs. A home away from home we'll definitely come back.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a semi-retired couple born and raised in San Antonio who enjoy spending time with family and friends and visiting music venues, museums, parks and classic car shows in and around the San Antonio area. After renting our home for the past several years we decided to entirely renovate the home then list it with VRBO as a vacation rental so that traveling guests could experience a countrylike tranquil setting only minutes from downtown San Antonio.

Why they chose this property

It's amazing!

What makes this property unique

A safe quiet neighborhood surrounded by plenty of wonderful nature.
