Huge home, perfect for big families & large groups
About this house rental
Need space for the whole gang? You'll have it and then some in this 5000 sq ft historic home near the center of San Antonio. As a recent guest said in a review, "It's like a boutique hotel but all for you." Perfect for wedding parties, graduations or other group gatherings for friends or family. Please read the full description to learn all about our amazing property. NOTE: Per local and Airbnb rules and, more importantly, out of respect for our neighbors, we don't allow parties or events. You will have five completely self-contained one-bedroom suites, each with a kitchen, living room, bathroom and washer/dryer. And there are two additional bedrooms with en suite baths. That's seven full bedrooms -- with real beds -- and seven full bathrooms. And we can provide additional rollaways if needed. You will have a huge kitchen (with a restaurant-style 12-burner stove and double oven), large dining room and huge living room with a baby grand piano. And if you're still feelking crowded, there are two additional common spaces to hang out or shoot pool. There are rocking chairs on the front porch and a baloncy deck in the back where you can enjoy your morning coffee. You will have exclusive access to the entire home throughout your stay. We live nearby and can be available to guests upon request. The name Westfort is a modern nickname for the neighborhood, related to its location at the western edge of Fort Sam Houston. The neighborhood attracted prominent residents in the 1910s. Homes for C.T. Boelhauwe, local architect, Frank Scobey, director of the US Mint, and Gutzon Borglum, nationally renowned sculptor, were all located on nearby Brahan Blvd. The neighborhood later transitioned to predominantly rentals for military personnel stationed at Fort Sam Houston and their families. The architectural styles represented in the Westfort Historic District vary from Prairie Style and Craftsman to Mission Revival and Spanish Eclectic. The eclectic collection reflects the development of the neighborhood over many decades. The house has a long driveway where guests may park. There is also ample street parking. There are a few peculiarities with this lovely old house. The kitchen is huge but old so it doesn't have a dishwasher. You can wash by hand during your stay or leave rinsed dishes in a provided tub and we'll take care of them after you leave. We do not allow parties. Violation may result in loss of security deposit and cancelation of reservation.

This place is quite amazing if you have a large group. There are 7 full fledged bedrooms with sitting area and attached bathrooms. Gives you privacy but when the group wants to get together we can do it in the large family and dining rooms. Centrally located, very clean. The host was amazing. Very quick to respond, check in process was super easy and he went and above and beyond to help us when we had questions. This is the best spot for large groups no doubt

We were a group of 10 mature women staying in San Antonio for a ladies get away trip! The house was wonderful and had plenty of space for all of us. Jack, the owner met us when we arrived and went thru the house explaining everything completely. He was very helpful! The secret rooms he showed us were a delight! The neighborhood was ok, but the close location to the Pearl District was so convenient! This would make a great choice for large groups or family members!

We had a family reunion of 15 people and couldn’t have been more pleased with everything! From the beginning the host was always quick to reply and answer all of our questions! He walked us through the house to show us all the amenities included! The house and yard were simply amazing and only about a 10 minute drive to the river walk!
We highly recommend this rental and host!! Thanks for making our reunion perfect!

Jack was very responsive and helpful! It was a very large space which worked great for us since we were a group of 15 women who came for a conference. Much nicer in person vs looking at the pictures although those were nice too.
The only thing that kinda freaked many of us out were the spooky Halloween looking figures in one of the bedroom closets which we got out of there as quickly as possible.
Great place for making meals and lots of places for discussions too.
Overall great stay! (Beds were super comfy too.)
