Superb. My family…read moreand I recently had occasion to spend a few days in the marvelous city of San Antonio. We discovered the King William Manor's "Stonehouse" on VRBO and made a decision to stay there for our entire vacation. First off, Allison, with whom we dealt primarily, was very helpful. Not only did she help us with the rental by ensuring everything was ready upon our arrival, but she was incredibly useful by providing us lots of good tips on how to get around and where to eat. The Stonehouse, itself, was just what we were looking for: a chic, stylish home away from home that was also highly functional, clean, ideally located, and not overly pricey. Add the adjacent pool and it was a no-brainer to stay here. Allison and Craig have obviously put a lot of time and effort into renovating this home. Although it looks very unassuming from the outside, it boasts a lot of nice touches inside such as new paint and tile, new granite countertops, a nice HD flatscreen TV, huge master bath, new washer and dryer, and some pretty posh furniture options. It was perfect for me and my wife, along with our daughter and my 74 y/o father. Everything works and the house is/was immaculate. WIFI is fast and reliable. A nearby HEB grocery store is only .5 miles away if you need groceries. Numerous trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants line S. Alamo street upon which this house is situated. Two nearby VIVA bus stops make getting around SUPER easy and cheap. The southern end of the famed River Walk is a five minute walk away. Street traffic is minimal and generally quiet. We all slept well during our stay, especially since the provided beds and linens are so comfortable and soft. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem. It is perfect for a small family or two couples wanting to visit San Antonio. Centrally located to River Walk, Tower if the America's, and numerous dining options (I strongly recommend Rosario's, just up the street), Stone House is a perfect San Antonio vacation rental property.

We stayed there from Thursday April 23rd - Sunday April 26th 2026. It was like living in an Italian Villa and you would be hard pressed to find a more gracious host and chef than Justin anywhere ! He's been doing this for over twenty years ! We arrived at the Lakehouse around 3:00 pm and were immediately welcomed by Justin who carried our bags to our upstairs Medici Room and gave us a tour of the house. Justin also provided us with excellent tips on things to see and do in the area, as well as suggestions for restaurants for lunches and dinners. Thursday evening, we ate dinner on the outside patio of Gennaro's Trattoria where we enjoyed their Authentic Italian Kitchen. Friday morning, we enjoyed a delicious omelet breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room overlooking Canyon Lake and great conversation with other guests. Following breakfast, we took a leisurely drive down River Road to the quaint town of Gruene (that's pronounced "Green"). There, we had lunch at the Gruene River Grill, followed by a relaxing stroll through the many antique and boutique shops in Gruene, and a visit to Gruene Hall, Texas' Oldest Dance Hall. We then returned to Canyon Lake and enjoyed some merlot wine and cheese and crackers (which we had brought with us) on the Lakehouse's covered outdoor patio overlooking Canyon Lake. We had dinner at Canyon Lake's Wildflour Artisan Bakery & Grill which offers a full menu. On Saturday morning, we enjoyed a delicious Belgian waffle breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room. Following breakfast, we drove to the town of Blanco and visited Arnosky's Flower Farm. After walking around the beautiful flower fields, we bought some beverages and snacks inside Arnosky's barn and sat in the chairs on the barn's covered back porch patio overlooking the flower fields, humming bee feeders, and bird feeders. You could sit there a long time as the scene is ever changing. From Arnosky's, we drove to Tillman's Cabin Resort in Blanco and ate lunch at the Rio Blanco Café overlooking the Blanco river. After lunch, we drove to the original 1885 Blanco Court House in downtown Blanco where we took a leisurely self-guided tour of the courthouse. We also visited Blanco's many antique and boutique shops. Saturday evening, we attended the 4 pm mass at Canyon Lake's St. Thomas The Apostle Church. At the end of mass, we witnessed one of their congregants step up to the lectern with the pastor's approval, talk about what the bible says about a wife, ask the lady in the front row next to us to step forward, and then bent down on one knee and asked her to marry him in front of the entire church congregation, and she said "YES" and they kissed. What a beautiful proposal ! Following mass, we had dinner on the outside patio of Canyon Lake's Elio's Osteria e Pizzeria. On the evening drive back to the Lakehouse, we saw lots of white tail deer in the neighborhood. On Sunday morning, we enjoyed a delicious scone and quiche breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room. We again enjoyed conversing with the other guests as we had every day, and then we packed and headed home. Sorry for the length of this review but my wife and I thought readers might enjoy hearing about what one can do from The Lakehouse Bed and Breakfast at Canyon Lake. The Lakehouse is centrally located in the Texas Hill Country and opens this area up to you like a box of chocolates!

This private access room includes its own balcony with a hot tub and stunning views of Canyon Lake. The room itself is decorated beautifully and the king bed is super-comfortable. The private on-property pool was the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon. I agree with all the previous visitors who raved about Justin's fantastic breakfasts! Day 1 included orange scones and a delicious zucchini fritatta and roasted potatoes - incredible. Day 2, by special request, included strawberries Romanov and eggs benedict with sausage. Thank you, Justin, for the wonderful food and conversation. We highly recommend this gem and can't wait to visit again soon!

It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and I have to say we were so incredibly impressed with literally everything, especially the beautiful room that we stayed in. We chose the Hummingbird room, which was located downstairs. The room is located in the back of the house, which gave us privacy. The innkeepers Lily and Roland were spectacular. Lily prepared breakfast every morning promply at 9am. It was very tasty. We opted to eat breakfast outside on the front balcony, and it was so relaxing! We purchased the cookbook that has all of the recipes that she cooked. She served a three course meal, which included fresh baked muffins, fresh fruit and one morning we had spinach quiche, and another morning we had apple french toast. Yummy! Carlos, my other half, said that he was still hungry and that the portions weren't large enough. It gave us the opportunity to get a snack early in the day at the Riverwalk. Lily and Roland had earplugs in the room because trains go by, but it really wasnt a big deal. We didnt have to use them, but it was nice that they had them to offer us. The b & b had restaurants around the corner that we walked to. Titos mexican food and the filling station, among others that we didnt have the chance to frequent. We plan on going back to SA before the year is out, and we will be staying at the Brackenridge House again. Thank you Lily and Roland for making our first trip to San Antonio so incredibly memorable! We will be back!!

The house itself is beautiful but outdated with the wrong furniture. We loved the breakfast that was served each morning but would have appreciated an indoor dining room or at least options for salt, pepper and butter offered along with additional silverware in the room. We really wanted to like this place however, there are many things that need to be updated. The big thing was light that filtered through all the blinds which made it difficult to sleep as the outside porch light had to kept on. The bed in the hummingbird room was way too firm and I didn't sleep well for three nights. The owner Lily was kind enough to cool the room down and provided another fan. The bathtub/shower was too high for me to enter or exit and need my spouse to help - steps are needed. We did like the refrigerator and microwave being available. The hot tub was nice but apparently being deaf we didn't fully hear her state how to remove the cover. I would make updated changes and re-open the B and B. Quiet neighborhood and about 20-25 minute walk to riverwalk. Uber is helpful to use. Lots of restaurants nearby.

There was always coffee and good company. I'm including some photos of the our space during our stay. There was enough room that we are hoping to have some family join us on our next visit to Texas. It is a wonderful place to share with family..all ages! We will be back, and hopefully get more time to visit the farm part of Becky's little piece of heaven.
