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.

    We had a great time at this property. The location made it easy to walk all over downtown, which is a must have for my family. The small yard was perfect for our son to throw the football and it had ample seating if we decided to eat out back.

    It's a unique place. I have rented dozens of VRBO rentals. This one is different given its history but it's a perfect place to stay if you want a few days or a week to visit San antonio. You can easily walk to virtually everything the downtown San Antonio offers to include hemisphere Plaza the Riverwalk etc. In the meantime you're staying in history. We enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings with a glass of wine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this for couples or a small family. Within a short walk there is some place to get a morning coffee that doubles as a microbrewery if you enjoy having a beer in the afternoon. ( or in the morning as they offer that also. Lol.)

    Great space for access to Downtown venues and far away places. Host left very nice touches such as firewood and wine. If youwant access to Downtown and candeal with being Downtown then this spot is great l.

    We thoroughly loved our stay at StoneHaus. The history of the building was so interesting and the hosts gave us all the information we needed to have a fantastic trip, plus a bonus bottle of wine! Beds were comfortable, plenty of storage to unpack our suitcases for a long weekend, and Roku on the TV helped us decompress after some long hikes and shopping days on the riverwalk. Gated parking added a layer of security for the area as some homeless folks seek shelter in nearby churches, but at no time did that affect our experience or safety on the trip. Would consider staying here everytime we come back to visit with friends or our families.

    We came to San Antonio for a wedding, and I'm so glad we picked this house. It was very cute and well-kept! I also appreciated the gate surrounding the house. The neighborhood was quiet (aside from some car sounds), but it was nice to know nobody else could get into the property area. (We had some issues with gate codes, but the host leaves a remote control for opening the back gate just in case). Since there's really just one bedroom, there isn't a ton of privacy (there's a daybed with two twin mattresses in a small room, and two queen beds in a larger attached room), but it was a great spot to stay with family. We were able to walk downtown quickly, and my partner and I - both vegetarian - loved Plantaqueria, which was just a couple of blocks away. Thanks, Mona and Barry!

    StoneHaus was one of the most beautiful homes I've rented, it's a true slice of history! The house was spotless, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. It was a short walk to both the Alamo and the Riverwalk. We saw a few homeless people in the area but it wasn't any different than what you'd see in any other city. I was visiting with my daughter and 2 young grandchildren (2&3), we felt comfortable walking to/from the downtown area. StoneHaus is completely fenced in with security gates which made us feel very safe at night. The host was friendly and responsive. I highly recommend staying at StoneHaus!

    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.
