They absolutely loved the pool and scootering around on the property. it was so charming. The history and the 80's nostalgia we had staying here was amazing! My husband and I left saying we wanted an older home with character :) The kitchen area was huge, there is a second living room and doors with access to the outdoors everywhere. You also see the trees in full floor to ceiling windows or screen doors from every room. One thing I will say, the tub in one of the bathrooms needs to be updated. We all used the master shower and it was totally fine with us since we were one family. The master bathroom was HUGE. But if there was another family there it might have been a hassle. ##### Tess C.

Jul 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our stay As soon as we drove up the driveway it felt like we were in the country and no longer in the city. The property is surrounded by beautiful trees. Even though the house is older and could undergo a renovation, we appreciated it how it is because you rarely see old floor plans anymore. I loved all the large windows and all the entryways. Every room has a view of the property so even tasks like washing dishes or folding laundry were pleasant. I think that if the house was renovated it would make it way above our price range so I'll be happy if they keep it how it is bc we really felt like we walked back in time as soon as we went inside. It's cozy, beds are very comfortable, you wake up to the sound of the water fountain outside your window and you simply can't get this experience in a hotel for that price. I have 5 kids so in a hotel we are always on top of each other and at the house everyone had room to move around, we cooked some meals and comfortably stayed for 4 days and 4 nights. Also, it is literally a min away from the freeway and close to all attractions. Most of our drives were 20 min or less. In the mornings we got lucky enough to see a family of deer walking through the backyard and at night when we got home from our outings we relaxed in the back balcony. Can't wait to book this property again for our future stays in San Antonio. Thanks again for letting stay at the Garden House ##### Marlenne N.

Jan 21, 2019 #### Our absolute favorite place to stay in San Antonio We live in Virginia Beach and come often to San Antonio to visit with our daughter's family. The Garden House is perfect for our needs: an oasis in a big city yet centrally located (it takes us 17 minutes to drive downtown; 1 hour to Fredericksburg; 12 minutes to our daughter's on the NW 1604 loop & La Cantera); nicely furnished; huge master suite; gated property in gorgeous historic neighborhood; etc. There is a property manager on the plantation site, Edgar, that is totally customer focused. We would not consider staying anywhere else ##### Conrad H. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAMIE, Austin Jan 13, 2019 #### Beautiful Garden Home Our family stayed here during New Year's Eve and loved it. The house is so spacious and beautifully decorated! The 5-acre property is spectacular and I recommend renting the Ambassador House also if you have a big group. While on the property we saw lots of wildlife which was so cool. A gray fox, a huge white-tailed buck, two great horned owls and a cara cara bird of prey. I highly recommend this sweet home. ##### JAMIE Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Signia-By-Hilton-La-Cantera-Resort-Spa.h284306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Sheraton-Dallas-Hotel.h43540.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Antonio-River-Walk.h1848212.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [Menger Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Menger-Hotel.h5877.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Marriott-Downtown.h45866780.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn San Antonio - Riverwalk by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-San-Antonio-Riverwalk.h12642.Hotel-Information) > > [San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter on the River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-San-Antonio-Marriott-Rivercenter.h8023.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni La Mansion del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Omni-La-Mansion-Del-Rio.h17329.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-Downtown-University.h12302973.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-The-Westin-Riverwalk.h330528.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-San-Antonio-Riverwalk.h10636.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anatole](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Anatole.h22945.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Hill-Country-Resort-Spa.h21664.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Austin-Hotel.h8540.Hotel-Information)
