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. Don't forget to sign up for a ghost tour. There are several options from which to choose....Sisters Grimm is my favorite.
Morning coffee on the front porch is relaxing and an evening glass of wine on backyard patio is soothing and delightful.

The house was nice. The neighborhood was surrounded by homeless. I thought we could walk to the river walk seeing it is less than a mile but I was unwilling to take my family through the homeless encampments.
Unique little place, very private and quiet… Frankly, I was concerned about it being in an industrial area, but we absolutely loved it and it was secure and perfect for our family for a few days while visiting San Antonio!
Had a lovely stay in SA. Loved the uniqueness and history of the home. Very clean and with all necessary amenities. Beds could use new mattresses, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
We had an awesome experience. The property is just 4 blocks from the Alamo.
Very clean and nice place to stay close to downtown
Had a wonderful time staying here for a girls’ trip! Will definitely be back! Gorgeous historic home! Wonderful location!
Stonehaus is a fantastic little home that is part of early San Antonio. Very comfortable and near to everything you would want to do in the downtown area.
The property is very close - within walking distance - of the key sites in downtown San Antonio, and carries such history being built in 1860s. Very well taken care of and we enjoyed our time there!
This house was wonderful. Historic home and easy walk to Alamo and downtown. Would stay again if I return to visit.
It's not often that you get to get to stay in a 19th century home. They did a great job restoring it and the proximity to the riverwalk and the alamo is the real win. We felt safe in this one story house, despite the high number of vagrants in downtown. It was a great stay and easy to corral the young kids.
