Three night stay in Castroville
I enjoyed a three night stay at the Little Alsace House. The accommodations were perfect!!! The house was cozy yet spacious. There were plenty of linens and a well stocked kitchen. Lynn the owner was always available and very personable. This will defiantly be my choice for my next over night stay in Castroville

Good short SA stay!
The property was super cute and nice for a short trip of just me, my mom, and my dog. The only thing that was sort of questionable is there is a garage on the side of the house and people were going in and out of it around 11:30pm which woke up my dog and I. Also the only bathroom accessible is in the bedroom so not the best place for large families to stay. My mom also said although there is an AC unit in the bedroom it still gets hot in there.

Short stay in Castroville
The place was great! Clean, easy check in and out, and great communication by the owner. It's close enough to San Antonio, but still far enough out of the city for some peace and quiet. I'd definitely stay here again.

WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE
I DID NOT END UP STAYING AT THE RENTAL NOR DID I DRIVE TO IT...BUT THE LADY/OWNER WHO ASSISTED ME THROUGH TEXTS AND EMAIL, ETC. WASTHOUGHTFUL AND CARING...I could tell from the pictures and things the owner told me that it would be/would have been a nice stay! I needed to get back home about 2.5 hours away. I look forward to possibly staying in this rental later though.

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.
it was clean , nice owner, what can i say...loved it

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!!

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.
