We stayed one night but wish we could have stayed longer! It was super cozy and private. The host left us a sweet welcome basket with goodies. It felt like we were visiting Grandma's house. We didn't get a chance to really use the kitchen but enjoyed the coffee bar!

Great directions on how to get there and settle in. Loved how homey it felt. They provided for anything we might need including laundry and soaps. Snacks and beverages were an added bonus. They had everything in the kitchen down to pot holders and towels and cookie sheets. We had a nice relaxing evening and a great night’s sleep. The showers had good water pressure. Covered parking was great. We’d definitely stay again if the need arose.

We loved our stay! We were only in town for one night but everything was perfect. We arrived a bit early and Kenneth graciously allowed us to check-in early and leave out a little later the following day. This was a life saver because our car a/c went out on the way into San Antonio and we had no where else to go. The pastries and snacks were a nice surprise! The home was very welcoming and inviting! We love Jesus and really enjoyed all the Christian decor! Everything was great! We will definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
