Guest house with sauna/hot tub
My wife and I loved our stay, it’s a gem of a place with a beautiful, private back yard. The sauna and hot tub are amazing. We’ll definitely try to get this one again next time we’re in the San Antonio area

Fantastic spot
The guest house was amazing. Great yard and the hot tub was amazing. I’d have to say the sauna stole the show. Host was very friendly and quick to respond. Although not much was needed. Definitely coming back.

Beautiful cozy guesthouse
Very well taken care of, peaceful place to stay! Sitting on the back porch was so nice. Bedrooms were comfortable, and communication was great! Loved the water dispenser. Owners came and brought towels and replaced the water bottles, too!

A relaxing getaway
This has to be one of the best vrbos we have ever booked! The house was very clean when we came in and they left a cute little sign with snacks! We never saw the hosts but there were very very thoughtful. The galley kitchen area is very small and limited but we were still able to cook a meal for 4 using the microwave, crockpot, and black stone. The back yard was beautiful and we spent a bit of time bird watching and snapping pics as we could. The location of the Vrbo is very convenient as there’s lots of grocery stores, restaurants, and rivers nearby. It was a great weekend away!

Enjoyed the Stay
Definitely enjoyed the stay, but online details were not very clear (I may have overlooked) as I was NOT aware the property was a back house with no full kitchen as i had plans to Cook for my daughter and her friends for their Prom. Other than that everything was great!

Perfect outside of San Antonio stay
Under the Oaks is the perfect description for this beautiful property. The entire yard is covered with big old picturesque oak trees with vivid green grass. Sitting on the back porch is a relaxing oasis. The hot tub was therapeutic and just what we needed. San Antonio is only a 20 minute drive or so and the Riverwalk is so lovely at night. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The host even included some drinks and snacks. Host gave us plenty of detailed instructions and answered our messages quickly. Highly recommend!
