About this property

Great Secluded Home with Private Pool & on Wooded Lot Alamo Ranch Area!

Picture yourself and your family relaxing by our private pool while you enjoy the peace and quiet of our home sitting on just over 1/2 acre of wooded seclusion. Do you want a quiet and charming retreat with tons of room inside and the occasional wildlife sighting outside? If so, then look no further! Please note pool is NOT heated. We just had the pool replastered and additional work done so it is ready for our summer visitors! We also screened in and decorated the back porch in late 2022 with seating for 7. The pool has seating for 6 and also has 6 nice loungers to catch some rays.

This home is in the popular Alamo Ranch area, and we updated it in late 2019 with new floors, furniture, paint and a few extra touches.

Home sits on over ½ an acre with tons of trees and millions of stars in the night sky. Perfect to be viewed from the pool area which can hold all the homes guests. Be on the lookout as you may even see the occasional deer, opossum, lightning bugs, skunk, racoon, armadillo, squirrel or other wildlife! The home’s subdivision backs up to the popular 12,244 acre Government Canyon State Natural Area which is a great place to go hike, picnic or ride bikes. It is also bordered by a recharge zone and water way for added peace and quiet.

This home away from home is for those who want to stay in a quiet neighborhood just outside city limits and yet close to several of the major area attractions (Sea World & Fiesta Texas), conveniences, malls, movie / entertainment centers and shopping in the area. Medina Lake and the popular Paradise Canyon for boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, picnicking or floating down the Medina River are also just down the road! Lackland AFB is also only 25 minutes away. Riverwalk & downtown is within reach and 30 minutes away.

We are offering the perfect get away for anyone looking for some peace and quiet yet to be close enough to town for all the conveniences. Recently completed road leading to house is now 4 lanes (2 each way) for added convenience.

Home features 2 separate, comfortable living areas, 2 eating areas, 4 bedrooms, and 2 & 1/2 baths. Plenty of room for everyone in the family to have some of their own personal space or be together. Perfect for two families or a group of friends as home sleeps 5 upstairs and 4 downstairs. Upstairs features the combo main bedroom/ bath, two additional bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Downstairs features a bedroom with a queen bed, a sofa sleeper, and a 1/2 bath. Main bedroom added a new king bedroom set in 2022 with new mattresses!

Home has two separate living areas, both with Roku TV's which allows you to have added space for everyone! We have family games, books. local magazines and DVD's available for your use to help enhance your stay. We would love for you to become one of our regular families that visit us every year or two.

These situations do not warrant any type of refund or other type of compensation to the guest.

The pool is unavailable from October 1st through April 1st. The pool is unheated and not serviced or available during this timeframe.

The back porch also after severe weather may have debris from dirt to leaves. It is cleaned after each guest’s departure, however, can get dirty during bad weather between guests as our home is in a rural area.

Also, the jacuzzi that is pictured has not worked for over 22 years and is not heated. If you want to use the pool during non-peak season, please ask if it can be made available prior to your stay.

Reunion in San Antonio

My 94 year old mom said it was one of the best vacations she has ever had. Seeing her family and being able to make memories together was wonderful. The outdoor screen house, if cleaned and screens replaced, would be a great space. The indoor space is decorated very nicely and was plenty of room for all.

Peaceful getaway

House is a bit outside of town, which was the ideal setting for our peaceful getaway. It is a 35-40 minute drive to downtown San Antonio, which entertained our family during the day…and got us ready for a refreshing swim when we got back to the house. The hosts were generous with their hospitality, but also gave us space to enjoy ourselves.

Nice Home

Home was nice. Our boys really enjoyed the pool. House is about 30 minutes from everywhere you want to go in San Antonio, but that is due to the plethora of road construction just as much as distance. Located on the west side of town as well.

Thanks Stephanie. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay, and the boys enjoyed the pool. The road construction is hopefully going to be completed soon as it will open up additional lanes both directions and make travel easier in the area. The area has grown so much in the past few years the roads now need to adapt. There is the newly completed HWY 211 which is an easy shot to a big HEB, several restaurants and access to HWY 90. It is only about 1/2 mile from the subdivision. Hopefully, you will come and visit us again. We appreciate you choosing to stay in our home.

We had a wonderful time staying in this home while visiting our Airman. Temperatures were 106-110 degrees each day, so the pool was very much enjoyed!

John, We apologize that you felt your stay was "good" and only deserved an "average" rating . We strive to ensure our guests are having a wonderful time and even check in with them during their stay to see if anything is needed. Nothing was ever mentioned during any of those check ins. We are local so most items can be addresses rather quickly. We provide more amenities in the home than most because we know what it is like to travel. We also provide a special gift to say thank you to our guests for choosing our home. Not because we have to however because we want to. So again we are sorry we did not exceed your expectations which is always our goal.

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Barclay

Host profile image
My husband and I are so excited to share our home with you. I have been in hospitality my entire life and we love to share our home with the added touches with our guests. My husband is a science professional and we have lived in the San Antonio area for 30 years. You need a tip on a place to eat off the beaten trail we can send you there. Need to know a popular local bakery, best place to get some great beef jerky or a local farmers market we can help. Just let us know what you are looking for and we will make the best recommendations based off our years of living in the area.

We live close to the property, so we are available for any of your needs.

Why they chose this property

We have owned this property for 29 years. We raised 2 of our children there and rented it out for some time. We have enjoyed staying in VRBO's ourselves, so we decided to repaint it, add new flooring, bring in all new furniture and share it with other travelers.

The neighborhood is quiet for morning or evening walks and the neighbors are very friendly so don't forget to wave!

It is called Geronimo Oaks due to all the towering oak trees in the area. It also backs up to Government Canyon State Natural area in the back and to the north so there is lots of wildlife to see here and there. There may be deer, possums, racoons or other wildlife passing through while you enjoy the backyard. Let alone all of the wonderful birds singing throughout the day.

What makes this property unique

Rural area, close to town yet in quiet neighborhood. Home is also close to major lake and popular river venue. In ground pool with tons of natural landscaping. Home sits back on property for added privacy.
