Thanks for the great review! Appreciate the feedback, weโll add more towels to better accommodate larger groups at Historical Haven. Weโd be happy to host you again.
The house is very spacious, clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Host is very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for the stay. Pool was a great relaxation spot.

The house is clean, spacious and very well equipped. Everything worked as needed, including grill, hot tub and pool. It was also centrally located for us and easy access to Riverwalk, Airport, Golf courses, Pearl District, etc. Beds were comfortable. Nice common areas and a dining room table. Kitchen was well equipped. Communication with the owner/manager (Sarah) was super quick and easy. Answered all questions; no hiccups at all. Would stay again.

The house next door has three large dogs that bark all day and night. Very hard to get a good nights sleep. I would not recommend this house if you need to be able to get a goodnights rest.

Weโre very sorry the neighbor dogs disrupted your stay. Unfortunately, this is something outside of our direct control since the dogs are not on our property, but we did speak with the neighbor after your feedback to address the issue and help minimize future disturbances.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and value your feedback as we work to provide the best possible experience for our guests.
The size and layout of the house was good and the house was clean. The kitchen appliances met all our needs. The younger kids really enjoyed the pool. Location was convenient to River Walk and the zoo. The pool table was good for the older kids.

House is historic and has lots of character and well decorated, close to things in San Antonio. House was clean and host was quick to respond to messages. Pool, hot tub and space were nice. Great for a large group to stay. We would have given 5 stars but had issues with the following: main bath shower did not drain so couldnโt be used, mold around grout so wonder if this isnโt new. Other baths had showers but didnโt get hot water and the shower curtains were too short and blew in on you the whole time touching you and were not new. A/C stopped cooling day 2. Toilet in guest bath tipped forward if sat on. These things made it not feel like luxury as titles and the price point too high for these issues. It would be a lovely home to stay if these things didnโt occur.
This vacation home is definitely not the Luxury level we payed for. On Day1-we sat the baby on the red couch in front room and spotted the first cockroach and a huge termite on the seat.Contact was made with host immediately as we found more bugs in the house,we moved all our stuff off the floors.A can of Raid and a bug spray was dropped off by host but we did not want to spray poison all around the house with a toddler-especially on our vacation.All week long we were killing spiders, roaches, and other bugs crawling on furniture and we had to shake our clothes off before putting them on after my husband had a spider crawling on his shoulder after his shower.-None of the showers upstairs got hot enough to take showers.Our family kept having to use the one shower that got hot in the master where the door did not lock and stayed ajar. We booked this with a hot tub and reported it had a film on the surface and smelled terrible.The maintenance man that came to look at the hot tub and assured us โit was fineโ-4 days later an actual pool tech came out to inspect the tub and had to bail all the water out of the tub as he said it was not safe to use and was choking him out-it was excessively chlorinated.He verified it would have burned our skin if we tried to sit in it as the maintenance guy had told us. We spent so much time trying to update hosts and they seemed polite enough but I definitely felt dismissed at the end of each day.Not Premier Host label worthy!Unsettling Grossness!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Weโre truly sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations and that you left feeling disappointed.
We do want to share that our team made every effort to respond to your concerns throughout your stay. Each time you reached out, we promptly sent our maintenance team to the home to investigate and assist, including on occasions when it was the middle of the night. We never wanted you to feel that your concerns were being ignored, and we were always willing to help.
Our maintenance team inspected the concerns that were reported at the time, and many of the conditions described in the review were not found or confirmed during those visits. We understand, however, that your experience and perception of the home may have been different.
We genuinely appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention, as guest feedback gives us an opportunity to continue improving. Weโre sorry that we werenโt able to provide the experience you were hoping for, and we wish you and your family all the best in your future travels.
The only problem that exists with this property are the 6 very large dogs that live next door. They can be quite noisy but thankfully not at night nor early mornings. This is not a reason not to book this fabulous home. The location is perfect for visiting many sites in San Antonio and great eating places.
