Better than we ever expected, definitely would stay here again in a second.

We just returned from a full week stay at the Barn House in San Antonio. We have two children (5 and 7 yrs old). The property is very clean, nicely decorated, private and feels very safe. The owners home is a very short walk away from the barn, and has the pool (which we enjoyed every day, sometimes more than once) and the pets! They have lots of cats, one small kitty (Little Bear) and a wonderful dog named Molly. My children (especially the daughter) was in love. My son enjoyed the swingset and the fact that part of the driveway is on a hill and he could roll his lego creations down the hill. Paul and Rhonda are wonderful hosts, very nice people, nice to talk with and hang out with, but with just the right touch, giving the right amount of privacy and the right amount of hospitality. We just had a fantastic time. Our children didn't want to leave, and on the drive home asked if we could "rent it for a year...and sell our house in Dallas...", that's how much they liked it.
The Barn House itself is very charming, has a stocked kitchen, HUGE closet in the master bedroom, big, giant bathtub in the hall bathroom, private shower in the master bathroom, wireless internet. We wanted for nothing.
I would recommend this property 1000% without reservation. Especially if you have 2 younger children that can share a bed still....and they love animals..this is the place for you. My kids will remember this vacation stay for years to come. We hope to come back next time we vacation down in that area.
