This sweet hideaway was exactly what I needed. Close to the places I wanted to visit, yet hidden away under the shady oaks. I loved having coffee on the deck every morning, (in the hot tub!) listening to birds (grackle and house sparrows) and watching the antics of the squirrels. Bonus: a new public library just around the corner! The guest house is comfortable, super clean, and extremely well stocked. My favorite Starbucks coffee for the Keurig, snacks, robes- not a detail was left out. I hope to become a regular guest during my visits 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.

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.

Quick getaway

This is a perfect choice if you're trying to get out and relax away from all the noise and all the hustle and bustle of life today. They have a beautiful sauna and a hot tub that we enjoyed every day of our stay. The host is awesome. They have great communication and try to help as much as they can to make your stay pleasant. When we arrived they had a little table in the bedroom with snacks and a sweet note. This is honestly the cutest guest house rented thus far. We highly recommend you will not regret it! We would definitely stay again.

A relaxing getaway

This has to be one of the best vrbos we have ever booked! The house was very clean when we came in and they left a cute little sign with snacks! We never saw the hosts but there were very very thoughtful. The galley kitchen area is very small and limited but we were still able to cook a meal for 4 using the microwave, crockpot, and black stone. The back yard was beautiful and we spent a bit of time bird watching and snapping pics as we could. The location of the Vrbo is very convenient as there’s lots of grocery stores, restaurants, and rivers nearby. It was a great weekend away!

Excellent guest house and amenities!

Our stay at Under the Oaks was truly unforgettable! The communication before our arrival was seamless, and the check-in process was a breeze. The guest house was immaculate, fully stocked with all the essentials you'd need for a stress-free getaway. The location couldn't have been more perfect for us—tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood yet conveniently close to our destination. One of the highlights was the nearby park, where I enjoyed a morning run along the creek, surrounded by nature. But the true gem of the rental was the stunning backyard view. We spent serene evenings in the hot tub and sauna, unwinding under the stars. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge. We had such an incredible experience that we can't wait to stay here again on our next trip to the San Antonio area!

Perfect outside of San Antonio stay

Under the Oaks is the perfect description for this beautiful property. The entire yard is covered with big old picturesque oak trees with vivid green grass. Sitting on the back porch is a relaxing oasis. The hot tub was therapeutic and just what we needed. San Antonio is only a 20 minute drive or so and the Riverwalk is so lovely at night. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The host even included some drinks and snacks. Host gave us plenty of detailed instructions and answered our messages quickly. Highly recommend!
