About this property

Texas Sized Bungalow -Updated 1927 home located in Mahncke Park

Aunt Wes, as we like to call her, has been our family home for over 14 years. She's a happy home. She's our first home, the home we raised our children in, and the home we will return to. We worked tirelessly to add on, update and build a home everyone would feel welcome in. We have spent many nights enjoying a drink on the front porch, lighting a fire in the fireplace, soaking in the claw foot tub, or story telling around the kitchen table. We love to relax in the backyard while the kids play in the treehouse and watch the fish swim. My beloved Aunt and Uncle lived on the street in the 70's, so the location is personal for us. Signs of them are everywhere in the house. Peacock feathers and antlers are small influences of their eccentric taste. As we move through this process of sharing our home, we will showcase his artwork throughout the house, I am sure it will be an ever changing design!

We offer keyless entry, with your own personal code, for check in. We have a Ring doorbell with cameras for the front yard, the driveway, and the backyard. Camera(s) may be deactivated during your stay. An Alexa device, located in the kitchen, is available for use while in the home but may be unplugged if not wanted.
A House Manual will be shared with many more details after booking is confirmed and within a few days of your expected arrival. We do not live far from the property and are able to help, if service is needed. I was born and raised in San Antonio, so please do not hesitate to ask for suggestions. We are within walking distance from many great attractions!

Another great stay at Aunt Wes's house
This was our third time to stay at this beautiful little house, and it really feels like our second home in San Antonio. Great location near Trinity University to visit our daughter, nice little neighborhood, and a clean, aesthetically interesting, fun environment. Highly recommend!

Another great stay
This was our second visit to Aunt Wes’s house, and it was as cozy, clean, well-equipped as the last visit. The location is perfect for a TU visit, and the surrounding area has great restaurants, coffee, etc. Highly recommend this property for comfort and hospitality.

Lovely home away from home
Aunt Wes’s House is a real gem. We stayed here for our daughter’s move-in weekend at Trinity U. Perfect location and a house that feels like a home. Clean, well-supplied, and tastefully decorated with lots of character. We will stay again!

Fun in the SUN!
Such a lovely home! We enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it for its convenient location and considerate touches. The homeowner supplied all we could possibly need and made it a most welcoming place. The kids loved the loft areas and the treehouse out back. Communication from the owner was stellar. The only issue we encountered was with some construction going on on the street while we were there. Several times, we were blocked in or out of the driveway which was sort of a nuisance. Other than that, it was a perfect spot for our family. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us!
