Cute little cottage. A little tight inside with a large mattress-beanbag thing. Just perfect enough for a quick getaway from New Braunfels. Very clean. Perfect spot for everything downtown. Would stay again if pool was cleaner.

Great Spot for Exploring Riverwalk and Downtown SA!

This cozy spot is tucked into a neighborhood that is walking distance from the San Antonio Riverwalk and The Alamo. The outdoor living space is really amazing from the plunge pool to the patio - you forget you're in a city! The hosts were very welcoming (as were their dogs) and we really enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Cindi McBride

Host profile image
I have spent my entire life in Texas from North to South. I moved to San Antonio in 1997 and spent 20 years in the bicycle retail business. Cycling is a passion of mine. I moved downtown in 2014 and fell in love with the urban lifestyle. My family and I walk everywhere and enjoy the food and entertainment afforded to us all along the river. We love to cycle along the Mission Reach trail which goes past all the historic Missions. The Mission Reach now has a world heritage designation and is a real gem for San Antonio.
I live on the property and really enjoy hosting visitors from all corners of the world. San Antonio is a great place to live and visit.

Why they chose this property

I moved to this property in 2014 because I wanted to live in an urban area with a small footprint. I wanted to be able to walk to many destinations and ride by bicycle to a bike path right from my house. My neighborhood is called Lavaca and I have terrific neighbors, many of them multi-generational.
We enjoy a simple lifestyle surrounded by history.

What makes this property unique

My property is small and full of charm. The main house was built in 1890 yet the additions are very perfect balance of old and new. The backyard is my favorite spot with a beautiful view of the Tower of America. We have an outdoor dining table, pool, ping pong and a Chimenea fireplace with pinon wood ( smells heavenly) for those cooler evenings. Very peaceful and quiet right in the heart of downtown.
