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.

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 thoroughly enjoyed our second stay here. The host provides clear instructions and communication is excellent. The location is ideal for easy access to downtown, and we really appreciated the beautifully landscaped backyard and inviting front porch. It’s also a treat to stay at a historical site. House is clean and fully equipped for short or long stays. The free, gated parking is a huge bonus, and the EV charger is a great added convenience for those that need it. We would definitely stay again!

Great place that was very good and unique! It was great to have extra space and in an historic place. Good location and as other people have said a bit isolated but walkable to the Alamo and Riverwalk! Everything we needed was provided! Note that the street was busier and louder than I thought it would be. Overall, great value, location and place!

My family and I will definately be staying again!! It has all the comforts of home and more!!! Stonehaus is literally close to all the River shops at downtown, four blocks from the Alamo. It is also a gated property which gives you piece of mind for safety. Adequate communication with owners, any questions I had were answersered. All in all a beautiful home and walking distance to the Riverwalk and the Alamo!!! No need to worry about downtown parking staying at Stonehaus! Thank you for the amazing hospitality!
