Christmastime on the San Antonio Riverwalk is simply Magical.
About this cottage rental
Situated in San Antonio, this attractive cottage for $169 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. LOCATION Book StoneHaus and you are 4 blocks away from this Riverwalk wonderland. This historic family-friendly private home includes free gated parking. Start your morning with coffee on the front porch or enjoy a relaxing evening in the backyard garden. The Alamo is only a short walk! Other downtown area attractions in close proximity include the San Antonio Riverwalk, Scottish Rite Center, Tobin Center, The Majestic Theater, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Sunset Station, Hemisfair Plaza, and the Alamodome. The Pearl district is within a short drive. HISTORY Known as the Engelmann-Muench House, this cottage was built in 1858 by Martin Engelmann, a wealthy German immigrant. The caliche block vernacular double house sits on a site which was once part of the Alamo farmlands. The structure is a good example of a once-common San Antonio house type and features original built-in end chimneys. If you explore the neighborhood, you will find a new bar scene developing with Road Map Brewery, La Roca, Bentley's, and more. Of course, restaurants and food trucks are in close walking distance on North Alamo, Houston St and the Riverwalk. Don't forget to sign up for a ghost tour. There are several options from which to choose....Sisters Grimm is my favorite. Morning coffee on the front porch is relaxing and an evening glass of wine on backyard patio is soothing and delightful.

The house was nice. The neighborhood was surrounded by homeless. I thought we could walk to the river walk seeing it is less than a mile but I was unwilling to take my family through the homeless encampments.

Unique little place, very private and quiet… Frankly, I was concerned about it being in an industrial area, but we absolutely loved it and it was secure and perfect for our family for a few days while visiting San Antonio!

Stonehaus is a fantastic little home that is part of early San Antonio. Very comfortable and near to everything you would want to do in the downtown area.

The property is very close - within walking distance - of the key sites in downtown San Antonio, and carries such history being built in 1860s. Very well taken care of and we enjoyed our time there!

It's not often that you get to get to stay in a 19th century home. They did a great job restoring it and the proximity to the riverwalk and the alamo is the real win. We felt safe in this one story house, despite the high number of vagrants in downtown. It was a great stay and easy to corral the young kids.

Central Location
We truly enjoyed our stay. Very close to key areas in San Antonio. Loved the history of the house. It was gated, but we still didn't feel comfortable sitting outside at night - I guess that is expected being downtown in a city (we were 4 females). We would definitely stay here again.

House is in a convenient location about 4 blocks to the Alamo and river walk and it was quiet. The house was very clean and updated. We loved the little yard and patio and the privacy. While we were in downtown and homeless nearby, we felt very safe in the house and walking to and from the river walk. I only take off a star because the bed frames need some tightening and securing. They were Wobbly and noisy. So anytime anyone moved in the night it woke us up so sleep could’ve been better. The mattresses were comfortable. The couch was super comfy. :-) There was plenty of space for our family of four to spread out. Overall we had a great stay for our first time in San Antonio. Cute house, convenient location, fun trip, river walk exceeded our expectations. It was nice to leave the crowds and walk back to our quiet private place.

San Antonio weekend
Very clean, well equipped property in easy walking distance to The Alamo and other downtown San Antonio attractions. 15 min Uber Ride from airport. The immediate surrounding neighborhood is run down and a bit rough looking but we had NO SAFETY ISSUES and would rent this property again. Hosts were very helpful.

Perfect place in San Antonio

We had a wonderful time staying at Stonehaus. It was within walking distance of all of the downtown attractions. The list of restaurants and attractions in the binder were so helpful. Behind the house was a Mexican Restaurant, with great breakfast tacos. On New Year's Eve, we could see the fireworks display out the back gate. An extra bonus to welcome in the New Year.

A short 3 blocks from the river walk and easy access to highways. Scooters all over the place to hop on and take short ride to The Pearl. Privately gated, so very safe. Would stay here again for sure!

Pictures do not do this house Justice! The fact that it was walking distance to all of the attentions that we visited was the best part. The only downside was the homeless people and shelter nearby but that’s going to be in every big city. Overall great place and if I come back to San Antonio, I’ll be booking here again!

We had an amazing weekend at Stonehaus. Myself and three other girlfriends rented the property for a girls’ weekend. The house was so cute and unique and was SO clean and welcoming. All aspects were easy from check in to check out. Mona was a great host and was so quick to respond to questions. Close to all fun areas we were hoping to visit and also great for fun nights of catching up. Great stay!

Great location with a short walk to the Alamo and Riverwalk. Beautiful home with rich history that was fully stocked with coffee, creamer, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, washer/dryer, etc. The outdoor space was another lovely place to hang out and was fully secure for the kiddos to run and play. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

What a great first experience with VRBO!
I stayed at Stonehaus with my best friend. Mona gave me a great tip on the exit to take off IH-35 and we were able to get to the property easily.
When we arrived, the house was nice and cool. A bottle of Alamos wine and some glasses were set out for us on the table as well as a bowl of tangerines on the kitchen counter. So sweet!
I fell in love with the stone floors - such a treat to walk on barefoot! The beds were very comfortable and the house was quiet. I heard no outside noise during our stay.
It’s about 5 blocks to the Alamo & we were fine on our walk over in the morning but the heat got to us in the afternoon. (Uber rides averaged about $8 to go to/from various downtown venues — well worth it!)
I look forward to staying again during the fall or winter months.
