    A quaint, turn of the century, throwback to simpler times, where chicken coops were nestled snuggly under wraparound porches, and fresh eggs were only a few steps away. Located 0.6 miles from the bustling epicenter of touristy riverwalk, you can start your day with a jog along a secluded section of the canal which is viewable from your private balcony. Sundries are only 0.3 miles away, thanks to the local H-E-B. Everything else is a ride share away, although Uber drivers did seem to have a difficult time finding the location. Breakfast is served daily between 8:30 and 9:30, but you'll notice the delightful scents visiting your room a bit earlier than that. Roland, the owner, is a charming host, regularly stopping by each guests table to share a chat. Don't forgo the daily shower because they have lots of hots water, and the pressure is impressive. So good

    We love the view from our penhouse /the Yellow Rose suite so much, so we attended our stay 1 more day. We stayed total 3 nights and enjoyed it so much. Right on the riverwalk access. Our room have the view of river and the tower of Americas. The private balcony was so nice to have dinner each night. Internet wifi was super. My daughter studied and I worked online in the room with the downtown view. Vanessa was super nice to us. She made breakfast and clean our room each day. She went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks Vanessa ! Dr. Roland came to breakfast room to sat Hi every morning. Thanks for let us park on the parking lot after we already checked out. Our 15th Anniversary was perfect. We already planned to come back next time without the kid ;) .

    My wife found this on the "inn on the river walk" bed and breakfast website. We are sooo glad to have had the pleasure to stay here for 4 days directly on the river. Every morning was a different local homemade breakfast. Did I mention the chickens across the street (talk about fresh eggs). We stayed in the river view suite, the name is very appropriate! Great views every day. The staff Margaret and Vanessa was nothing less than the perfect host, cook, housekeeping and being sure that everything was perfect during our stay. Beautiful Job Ladies!! The owner Roland mingled with all the guess and had a direct impact on the smooth stay for his guest. Too bad I can't give a higher rating! Great place! great time!

    This B&B is quaint, charming and centrally located right along the River Walk. It's a safe, 10 minute walk to several restaurants, shops and galleries. Our bed was a little squeaky, but the pillows were luxurious and the air conditioner/heater worked really well. Our bathroom was recently renovated, and we had access to a shared balcony that overlooks the River Walk. We parked our car when we arrived and didn't need to move it until we left. Other areas of the city such as Southtown and Midtown were a $5-7 Uber ride. The hosts gave us great recommendations and cooked a wonderful breakfast with Eggs Benedict and mimosas in the morning.

    Even on a rainy day the view is fantastic from the penthouse.

    My wife and I have visited this place for many years. It's the spot where we stay for our anniversary. This place is very special to us. We celebrated our 10th anniversary here. Since then we have visited this place off and on for seven years since. If you're looking for a place to relax with your beloved, this is the place. Recommend the penthouse. Please consider this wonderful place. It will remind you why you got married in the first place. Trust me. Consider it. Mr and Mrs Michael J. Hernandez

    I'm writing this an hour before check out as I soak in one of their luxurious whirlpool tubs, with a supreme breakfast ruminating in my belly. Great wifi too, I wouldn't download GBs of movies, but that would be rude anyway. Steaming/social media work just fine. In recent years I've become a bit of a B&B connoisseur, and Inn on the Riverwalk did not leave me disappointed. We stayed in the smaller of the two houses, in the San Jose suite, which has a wonderful porch walkway overlooking a quiet little stretch of the river. The house is historical, but the amenities are thoroughly modern. Nice big comfortable king bed (and I don't usually sleep well on the road,) gorgeous wood floors & antique hard wood furniture, small tv that we didn't even touch, the aforementioned whirlpool tub, which is fantastic if you've sore feet from walking around the Riverwalk all day, & a gas fireplace as well as standard forced air heat/air conditioning, both of which we used within a 48 hour period & both of which worked splendidly. They are a little off the main part of the Riverwalk, about a 10 minute walk, & also about 5 minutes from the historic King William neighborhood which has a lot of cool Victorian houses & interesting historical facts. So very conveniently located and just far enough to not receive too much foot traffic other than joggers & couples strolling in the moonlight. They are at the end of a dead end street & have their own parking lot with about 10 spaces which makes getting in & out much easier than the Riverwalk hotels. Breakfasts were fantastic. The chef (I can't remember her name ) prepared traditional breakfasts with a gourmand flair as well as fresh fruit & coffee to satiate a variety of early morning needs. We definitely woke up the second day excited for breakfast after the fantastic offering of eggs & sausage from the day before. The owner is a lovely personable gentleman, who was very happy to share the story of the property as well as take our feedback about his cute little B&B. It is always nice to see when great places are well managed, it makes the stay that more enjoyable. 10/10 would visit again!!!

    Some notes why they got a 1 Star: Nosey Staff Lots of bugs in side and out Cheap fixtures Limited parking Everything is done cheaply. I really hope they clean the bedding :-O I bet it would look like a rave if you had a black light If your 20 and don't know any better and have a limited budget (This place is perfect for you to have a romantic time.)

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 in Room 3 on the first floor. The exterior of the house is plush with bushes and grass with a garden. In the backyard area, there was a housed indoor pool - an unexpected surprise. Cindy, the innkeeper was fantastic! She was extremely warm and welcoming when we first arrived. She provided maps, points of interests, and fantastic restaurants to dine at while we were spending an extended weekend here. She was also the server at breakfast in the mornings. The Jackson House is located right on the outskirts of the heart of San Antonio. Every attraction, (The Riverwalk, Alamo and Alamo Plaza, Tower of the Americas, and lots of restaurants) were all within less than a mile of walking distance. So, besides being in a prime location, The Jackson House was a vintage throwback B&B with a southern charm feel. The room had a fireplace and a giant bathtub as well. In the early afternoons chocolate chip cookies, lemonade, and iced water were provided in the lobby guest area. Breakfast was freshly prepared each morning. You started with a cup of fruit and then served eggs or pancakes, home baked muffins, crisp bacon and or potatoes. Everything was tasty and packed with a hearty punch. The dining room was actually located in the main B&B inn called The Oge House - about 2 blocks away, which you can either walk to each morning or hop in the car for a quick drive. Overall, The Jackson House provided all the pleasant charms of a southern B&B that you'd come to expect. It certainly made my San Antonio getaway a special one!

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.

Location is awesome, the historic King William neighborhood is really beautiful and along the River walk and easy to walk to other places of interest in San Antonio. My only criticisms would be that even though there was practically no other guests while we were there, the owner Don would not allow us a late check out. Seems he's a stickler for 'the rules' and while I checked out before my cousin, neither he nor his wife Lisel were on property to store my cousin's luggage as they promised they would. Nor did either answer their phone when she called them and only got voicemail. To further exacerbate the situation after check out they immediately changed the keypad code so that my cousin couldn't get back in to pick up her luggage (which she left in the foyer). So for her, it was super annoying. For me, not so much. But anyone wanting to stay can take the review into account. It's a pricey stay and seems it can be a hit or miss experience.

This inn deserves my 4 rating and I am hopeful that other satisfied guests will take the time to review the Beckmann Inn so it's average rating will not be dependent on a single bad customer experience.

We loved that it's all original buildings from 1800s in the area. Had good plumbing and amazing AC (thank God!) and quite a bit of charm. Please note this is not a bed n breakfast anymore. But The Pantry is a part of the main office and they serve breakfast for reasonable prices. My lox and bagel was amazing and my husband's taco was delicious. Breakfast was a local affair. So many people and everyone was small town friendly. We sat on the porch but there were tables inside and on the back patio. The Texas Pecan Coffee was so good I bought some to bring home. Location of the mansion was perfect! We never even got in our car all weekend!! Shops, live music, bars, parks, river tubing was all within a few blocks. So close that if we needed to cool down (June in TX with no ac in some shops and restaurants) we would just swing back to the room for about 15 mins, cool down, and then keep going. So much live music to enjoy. I see some reviews that complain about music at night but we were not bothered by any of it. We had to strain to hear anything outside our room.

I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

    We spent a couple of days here for spring break. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience…read more This place is a combination of cabins, bed-and-breakfast, and animal sanctuary. The grounds have lots of friendly animals to interact with. The location feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, yet you're only a few minutes away from Boerne. We enjoyed feeding the goats, donkeys, and pigs. We also participated in a giant tortoise interaction and got to feed and pet him. We were even welcomed by a dancing cockatoo! The bed was super comfortable, and the cabin had everything we needed. The hosts responded quickly whenever we needed anything. We're looking forward to returning to the spot again the next time we need a getaway that feels far away yet is still fairly close to San Antonio.

    We booked the cutest little tiny & perfect "Butterfly" cabin with a loft that brought squeals of…read moreexcitement from our two sets of twins (ages 6 & 8). We did all the activities on the ranch during our long weekend & left with fresh eggs that we plan to hatch!!! The amount of surprises & animals was completely unexpected. It's truly a special place that takes amazing care of their animals & it shows. Right before we left we were able to see something completely amazing: 1 hour old twin Nigerian Dwarf goats still getting birth goop licked up by momma goat! This place is truly a great experience for kids! The first night we did the night adventure hike & walked through splendid & quiet darkness, we were amazed at the tranquility & abundance of stars filling the sky. We found deer poop & learned about venomous spiders, & cacti while finding a live vulture looking down at us! We met super friendly donkeys & horses that didn't want to leave us, they were so super friendly! Our kiddos were allowed to chase a couple of Emus (yeah, that's not a sentence I ever expected to ever write in my life!), those things are so magestic it was amazing to see them running with such easy while our kiddos were so chaotic running behind them lol All this happened in the dark, really cool & such a unique experience! Then we met an arctic fox named Conan. He was just recently rescued so his habitat is getting built while he is in this temp enclosure & the final one will be huge and air conditioned. The mornings were exciting because of the fresh eggs & lively chickens. There is a wonderful array of feathered friends that roam free with the goats through the day, greeting us randomly. We loved how all the animals were given so much free range & were so happy & super friendly! All these rescues truly found the best sanctuary, they are so well cared for! The exotic bird adventure was so much fun for the kids & parents. We got to hold so many parrots & we met the two fun emus again. We got to interact with all the birds as they talked & walked all over us, all so very exciting! Our labradoodle was able to make friends with the local dogs & was able to run off-leash safely behind a huge fenced open space while our kiddos explored the grounds, finding bugs, bones & delighting their imaginations while mommy & daddy relaxed on our lawn chairs so happy for the down time! This place felt so safe for my kids to roam and explore. The petting adventure was so much fun for the kids & parents, we got to meet everyone on the ranch & every adventure is a good length long & we learned so much about every animal thanks to the very professional guide & owner, Micky. We even did the horse riding - all 6 of us got to ride together & enjoyed the peaceful ride with an exciting ending of riding a galloping horse. We all loved it! We left with amazing memories & would recommend this ranch to anyone, especially to those with kids! Vicky & Micky were super accommodating to our constantly changing plans & worked on rearranging our schedules depending on kids' needs. We kept constant communications via text & made sure we had everything we needed down to the pepper, salt & vegetable oil. We absolutely had the most magical experience throughout our 3 night stay, especially with our random goat visits, that was so unique & special! Thank you Vicky & Micky & Amanda & MJ!!
