Girls trip to San Antonio
The property was very nice. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. Two things I didn’t realize when making the reservation 1) There is no “common” space inside. There is a bench in the hall, but no place to sit and talk or have a meal. We were fortunate to have great weather and was able to enjoy the patio. 2). We knew there was not a full kitchen, but I didn’t realize there would be no ice or way to make ice. Neither of these stopped us from enjoying the stay, just things I didn’t know before arriving.

My fiancé and I stayed here as a little getaway for his birthday. The space was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The host left a snack basket and drinks in the fridge and the essentials. Communication was clear and easy! I plan on staying here again on our next trip to San Antonio!

A gem!
We visited for a short stay celebrating my Mom's birthday. The property was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and the overall stay was exactly what we needed. The location is perfect if you want to go to either San Antonio or San Marcos, as it is centrally located. There are many places nearby for food and drinks as well. We enjoyed the hot tub every day after a long day of shopping and walking around. Definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a very relaxing place to stay.

Perfect for the weekend
The place is nice and small, which in return makes the stay so much simpler. You have your own space and nice outdoor space. Super welcoming from the host, which adds in top of not just the stay but the entire experience. Excellent from checking in, feeling welcomed by the host, and up until checking out.

Excellent guest house and amenities!
Our stay at Under the Oaks was truly unforgettable! The communication before our arrival was seamless, and the check-in process was a breeze. The guest house was immaculate, fully stocked with all the essentials you'd need for a stress-free getaway. The location couldn't have been more perfect for us—tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood yet conveniently close to our destination. One of the highlights was the nearby park, where I enjoyed a morning run along the creek, surrounded by nature. But the true gem of the rental was the stunning backyard view. We spent serene evenings in the hot tub and sauna, unwinding under the stars. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge. We had such an incredible experience that we can't wait to stay here again on our next trip to the San Antonio area!

A relaxing getaway
This has to be one of the best vrbos we have ever booked! The house was very clean when we came in and they left a cute little sign with snacks! We never saw the hosts but there were very very thoughtful. The galley kitchen area is very small and limited but we were still able to cook a meal for 4 using the microwave, crockpot, and black stone. The back yard was beautiful and we spent a bit of time bird watching and snapping pics as we could. The location of the Vrbo is very convenient as there’s lots of grocery stores, restaurants, and rivers nearby. It was a great weekend away!
