About this property
Little House in the HIlls - Privacy and Convenience
Little House in the Hills - Top 10 Reasons to Stay with us.
0. This is a little house in the woods. It is not suited to elderly and is not ada compliant. It has a claw foot tub with a shower. The house is in the woods and is not a downtown condo.
1. You have always wondered what it would be like to live on acreage in the country. At the Little House you can have a first hand experience of country living without all the work! The Little House is located in North San Antonio 30 minutes from downtown.
2. You are traveling through San Antonio and you want a comfortable night in a quiet setting. At the Little House you can be in bed ready for sleep 5 minutes after you arrive. Let us know if you have special needs and we can have things ready for you.
3. You are a UTSA professor, student or parent. This is an ideal location for anyone with business at the University. We are located 8 miles from school with no stop lights until you arrive. This is an ideal location for temporary faculty or temporary student housing. The Little House is fully furnished with large closet,
4. You are visiting the Rim or La Cantera Mall. Life dosn't get any better than this. The malls are only 10 minutes with one stop light. Our large closet is ideal for storing your treasures! You can stop at the many fine restaurants in the area so cooking will not be necessary.
5. You want to go to to Fiesta Texas. You can hear the fireworks when the wind blows. The trip back to the Little House is quick and there is a great convenience store on the way. After the fireworks you may need a little quiet! Sea World is close but is further down the 1604 Loop.
6. You have an event to attend and you need a place with quick access and easy living. You park your car at the front door. Six steps and you are inside. Grab what you forgot and head out again!
7. You are visiting family but don't want to live with them. We all need a little break every day. Right?? Come home to our king size bed and quiet nights. You'll be ready to go again in the morning.
8. Sometimes you just need to be alone. The little house is not connected to any other building. You are alone and have your complete privacy. No one is watching or listening. Solitude may be your thing.
9. You want to hear the birds again. Its so quiet you can always hear the birds singing. In the country there are all kinds of noises you probably forgot about. Be at Peace.
10. You want to get away with your sweetheart BUT not too far away. Downtown is a half hour drive. There are many fine restaurants all within 10 minutes of the Little House. Spend an evening alone with the assurance you can get back quickly should the need arise ! ( Hopefully not??)

We had asked if there was a bbq grill for outside cooking. He stated only charcoal and I said that was fine. Turns out, the property owner bought a small grill just because I asked about one. We thought that was very kind of him. The room was comfortable to stay in. We would stay there again if there became a need to.I appreciate Bill and his attentiveness.

Hideaway
The place was very quiet and private. The bed was comfortable and it was nice having the little kitchenette. Bill was very kind when I had mistakenly gotten the last days date mixed up. I do say the place needs updating, especially the bath tub. It was an old claw type and was difficult for us to get in and out of due to knee and hip issues.

Trip to San Antonio
VRBO Owner, was very hospitable. They were also very welcoming and informative, answering the many questions I had, as it was my first time in Texas.The location is absolutely beautiful, quiet stay just minutes outside of the city, in a very safe neighborhood. Great for a single or a couple just minutes from Downtown.

Cute little getaway
I had a wonderful time at the Little House while I was in town for a wedding in San Antonio. The place was clean and cozy. It had everything I needed for a solo stay over the weekend, including a spacious bathroom and closet to hang my dress. Bill is very communicative and responded to all of my questions promptly. Overall, great! I didn’t have a car during my stay but would probably rent one next time since the house is in a remote area.

Not appropriate for seniors who are a fall risk.
Not updated at all. Bedspread had not been laundered. Old electrical and certain outlets could not be used n conjunction with others. The shower is in a claw tub that moves back and forth. The safety bar is opposite the shower head and is located outside the shower curtain. The host/owner admitted that he had intentionally put the wrong street number on VRBO. The hosts/owners were very nice and allowed us to get out of the remainder of our rereservation.
