The place was great! Clean, easy check in and out, and great communication by the owner. It's close enough to San Antonio, but still far enough out of the city for some peace and quiet. I'd definitely stay here again.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay here. The property was wonderful and in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. It's located in a great spot to be accessible to San Antonio as well as to hiking and other outdoor experiences in this part of Texas. If you're looking for a great place to spend a few days in Texas, I couldn't recommend a place much better than this.

Wonderful host, and the Amelia House has everything you need for a weekend getaway. We came to visit The Alamo & Riverwalk. To San Antonio is about 30mins. We enjoyed the historic tour in Castroville. Moye Retreat Center is beautiful. If you like late 1800's buildings you will enjoy the town.

The property was super cute and nice for a short trip of just me, my mom, and my dog. The only thing that was sort of questionable is there is a garage on the side of the house and people were going in and out of it around 11:30pm which woke up my dog and I. Also the only bathroom accessible is in the bedroom so not the best place for large families to stay. My mom also said although there is an AC unit in the bedroom it still gets hot in there.
