Do not smoke, use alcohol , or exercise in the sauna. The use of alcohol , drugs and medication is capable of greatly increasing the risk of fatal hypothermia.
Do not use Pool or spa water on the hot rocks as this can create chemical fumes, only use small amounts of clean water.

My fiancé and I stayed here as a little getaway for his birthday. The space was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The host left a snack basket and drinks in the fridge and the essentials. Communication was clear and easy! I plan on staying here again on our next trip to San Antonio!

Perfect for the weekend

The place is nice and small, which in return makes the stay so much simpler. You have your own space and nice outdoor space. Super welcoming from the host, which adds in top of not just the stay but the entire experience. Excellent from checking in, feeling welcomed by the host, and up until checking out.

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

A gem!

We visited for a short stay celebrating my Mom's birthday. The property was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and the overall stay was exactly what we needed. The location is perfect if you want to go to either San Antonio or San Marcos, as it is centrally located. There are many places nearby for food and drinks as well. We enjoyed the hot tub every day after a long day of shopping and walking around. Definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a very relaxing place to stay.

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.

Girls trip to San Antonio

The property was very nice. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. Two things I didn’t realize when making the reservation 1) There is no “common” space inside. There is a bench in the hall, but no place to sit and talk or have a meal. We were fortunate to have great weather and was able to enjoy the patio. 2). We knew there was not a full kitchen, but I didn’t realize there would be no ice or way to make ice. Neither of these stopped us from enjoying the stay, just things I didn’t know before arriving.
