About the host
Hosted by Michelle Senecal
We are Texan's who have traveled the world and lived in several other states but proudly choose to call San Antonio, TX home! We have a love for history, antiques, and historic architecture. Having used VRBO in the past for our own family, we decided to share our unique property with you. Come be our guest and fall in love with this prime location and downtown SA as much as we have.
Why they chose this property
We were blessed to purchase this small piece of history and fell in love with it's unique German architecture, stone caliche walls, hardwood floors, relaxing front porch, and it's fantastic proximity to downtown San Antonio. Something our family has personally enjoyed and we have also enjoyed sharing this with family and friends when visiting our great city of San Antonio. We have plenty of visitor guides, local attraction brochures, and coupon books available for you upon arrival. Enjoy!
What makes this property unique
EVERYTHING is unique about this property, from the antique front doors, red oak hardwood floors, caliche stone walls, tall antique windows, etc. However, my favorite unique item of this home are the small Indian boy and girl built into our caliche stone kitchen wall that serve as protectors of our home. Please say "hello" to them during your visit!
