A home away from home
The home was exactly as it appeared on the listing; a cozy historic cottage. We walked (2 kids, age 4 and 8) to the zoo through beautiful and shady Brackenridge park. This was a wonderful walk. We also walked to the Witte Museum, Chipotle, ihop, smoke shack. This home was the perfect location. The pool was amazing for my kids and the back yard was a shady oasis. The mosquitoes and flies were the only nuisances we encountered. **When Lori heard of our issue with the tiny mighty mosquitoes, she bent over backyard to spray the yard herself and also brought us supplies, The property was well maintained, cleaned and had all the amenities we hoped for...and then some (extra paper towels, trash bags, laundry, soaps and lots and lots of towels). The kitchen was

Perfect Location & Set Up
We loved visiting here to launch our spring break. The heated pool was perfect for the varied weather, and it’s size was perfect for our kiddos ranging from 8 to 4 years of age. The home is a great size and the kitchen had all the cooking and dining gear we needed. Everything in was either walking distance or a quick 5-10 minute drive away, too! Wish the showers/ tubs were better to figure out for water temps, but other than that, it’s a great booking. Wish we could stay longer, and we plan to be back again. We really enjoyed the home!

About the host

Host profile image
We love living in San Antonio! Our city is full of wonderful people and amazing destinations. We also love to travel and explore to other cities, and we know how important it is to have a fun vacation. Our goal is to ensure that all of our guests do as well. Restoring and maintaining historic homes is something that is important to us, too, and we love finding historic gems around the city that guests will enjoy staying in.

Why they chose this property

This property, built in 1920, is next door to our favorite restaurant! In addition, the house is directly across the street from the beautiful San Antonio Zoo and Brackenridge Park. As a child, I remember going there often with my parents and grandparents, camping out and barbecuing and riding the old train. The lush background of the Zoo, Botanical Gardens and Brackenridge Park, which the San Antonio river winds through, is a true surprise hidden in the middle of the city.

What makes this property unique

Guests have said our property have very comfortable beds, and they've raved about getting a good night's sleep.

The small heated pool with the waterfall provides a soothing backdrop to a relaxing backyard.

The location of the home is what is key! You are in the heart of the city at Pershing Place and are walking distance to the Zoo, the park surrounding the zoo, and the Witte Museum. Also nearby within 5-10 minutes driving is the Pearl, Incarnate Word, Trinity University, the McNay world-famous art museum, downtown San Antonio, the Riverwalk, Brackenridge Golf Course, the Dooseum Children's Museum and much more! All big attractions like Sea World and Fiesta Texas are about 20-30 minutes away.
