2 Bedroom Cottage in Downtown San Antonio, San Antonio

LOCATION
The San Antonio RiverWalk is aglow with Christmas. Come experience this wonderland. It is truly magical. Our family-friendly private home is only four blocks from the sparkling lights and green pathways of the Riverwalk and the Alamo.
Start your morning with coffee on the front porch or enjoy a glass of wine for a relaxing evening in the backyard garden. Gated parking is included.
Other downtown area attractions includesTobin Center, The Majestic, Convention Center, Scottish Rite Building, and the Alamodome. The Pearl district (an amazing bevy of walkable stores, restaurants, and entertainment) is within a short drive. Maybe....even be brave and reserve a ghost tour.
This historic family-friendly private home includes free gated parking. Other area attractions in close proximity include the San Antonio Riverwalk, Scottish Rite Center, Tobin Center, The Majestic Theater, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Sunset Station, Hemisfair Plaza, and the Alamodome.
HISTORY
Known as the Engelmann-Muench House, this cottage was built in 1858 by Martin Engelmann, a wealthy German immigrant. The caliche block vernacular double house sits on a site which was once part of the Alamo farmlands. The structure is a good example of a once-common San Antonio house type and features original built-in end chimneys.
If you explore the neighborhood, you will find a new bar scene developing with Road Map Brewery, La Roca, Bentley's, and more. Of course, restaurants and food trucks are in close walking distance on North Alamo, Houston St and the Riverwalk. Made Ready and Idlewild Hall are our newest food/drink stops to try as well. Don't forget to sign up for a ghost tour. There are several options from which to choose....Sisters Grimm is my favorite.
