Cozy little guesthouse in a beautiful neighborhood
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.

Wonderful stay!
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 stay for students in Castroville
Lynn hosted four of my university students for a long weekend in Castroville as they presented their research to local community members. We're so glad to have found Lynn's listing. The house was clean and quiet, surrounded by green and walking distance to Castroville's shops and restaurants, as well as several historic sites. Lynn was a lovely host. She made sure that the house was set up for four adults and was responsive throughout the stay to any needs that arose. I will absolutely keep her place bookmarked for future trips. Thank you!!

We were greeted warmly by Lynn who oriented us to the rental. She was attentive throughout our stay. The property is clean and thoughtfully appointed with supplies and amenities that made our stay comfortable and restful. The decor is amazing. The historic neighborhood is charming. One morning we spotted deer across the street! This retreat is a gem!

We loved this place! Plenty of room and seating. Family was able to come over and visit. Our 4 yr old great grandson had room to play. Very pet friendly. Saw deer walking down the road on their way to the river. Quiet! Our host was very friendly. We will stay here again.

Wonderful!
We stayed here for a weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary and couldn’t have been happier. Lynn is a delightful host who goes the extra mile for her guests. The location is great for exploring the town. You have easy access to the house and plenty of parking. There is nothing complicated about this property. I would definitely recommend rather it be for a long or short stay. You can walk from her house to the Landmark Inn and see all the historic homes in her neighborhood! I was very pleased with my stay here.

Well appointed cottage-type setting
The house was very clean and in a quiet area. There were extra toiletries and towels. The kitchen had all we needed, but we did not cook while there. The cooling system worked very well and we appreciated the ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom. I will recommend this place to family who come to visit.
