Historic, Art-FIlled Briam Cottage Near the Alamo

This cottage, perfect for a couple (and perhaps of couple of guests) is a century and a half old and has been lovingly restored and decorated. If history, art and charm are your thing, you will love our house. The house is a functioning art gallery, full of paintings (most of them by us the artist-owners) and treasures from our travels. Enjoy our fully-stocked cook's kitchen with a Viking stove, microwave, blender,toaster, crockpot and 2 coffeemakers so you can make a pot or a cup at a time. Included with your booking is a starter set of our favorite coffees. Both indoor and outdoor tableware are included, so don't pass up a picnic in our glorious outdoor floral courtyard. In CASE you choose to leave this oasis and see the sites...you're in luck as the city's most visited sites are steps away PLUS great restaurants, bars, & a wonderful new grocery market with a fabulous assortment of wines and beer. Two blocks away, find an entrance to the Riverwalk, and take a shady stroll along the Romantic San Antonio River. We have off-street parking for one car reserved for our guests. There are stairs down to the bedroom and bathroom and the clawfoot tub is the only bath- time option so Briam House may not be suitable for guests with mobility difficulties. The Briam House likes to move around so sometimes the doors can stick...dont be shy to push! The house is built of caliche block and limestone...this material is chalky so keeping the house 100% dust free is a big challenge. We do our best but if you encounter some dust or tiny limestone crumbs you'll know why. We do not offer shower, dishwasher or disposal. Our guests have access to the whole house with the exception of the storeroom and a couple of drawers, clearly marked. The stone-built cottage dates from the 1870s and is literally steps from the Alamo in the centrally-located Southtown neighborhood. The area boasts historic charm, great dining, parks, and nightlife. Rent a bike nearby and ride around the city. We are not kidding when we say Briam House is an easy walk from the Alamo, Riverwalk, Hemisfair Park, La Villita Arts + Crafts Village and Convention Center...NONE of these things are more that 3 city blocks from our home! If you'd like to visit a little further, (say for instance The Pearl) B-Cycle bike rentals are just a block away. Catch the No. 11 Viva Cultural route bus on the next corner and go to most of the city's museums and back for around a buck! The basement is below stairs, as is the bathroom. Our historian clawfoot tub is romantic and beautiful, and a really great soak, but be careful getting in and out. (We don't offer a shower.)

All about San Antonio

Situated in the southwestern corner of the Texas Triangle, San Antonio is the only major city in Texas that existed before the state won its independence from Mexico. Its Spanish influences are still evident here, from street names to local dishes to the most famous of its five missions — and one of the state’s marquee attractions — The Alamo.

But you don’t need to look to the past to appreciate San Antonio. The city is also home to one of the most famous river walks in the country, as well as a slew of hiking and cycling trails that crisscross the region. And in recent years, city planners have revitalized many of San Antonio’s forgotten neighborhoods, turning old warehouses and factories into bustling markets, museums, and galleries.

What are the top things to do in San Antonio?

El Mercado

To see San Antonio at its best, pay a visit to the city’s market square, which is often referred to by its Spanish name, El Mercado. Here, you’ll find over 100 local restaurants and shops covering a sprawling outdoor plaza. Not only is this place home to handmade Mexican crafts, there’s also authentic food with live music to help wash it down when the hot evenings arrive.

Brackenridge Park

A locals’ favorite, this scenic park is home to a stretch of the San Antonio River and is a great place to take a relaxing walk during your stay. If you head here early in the morning before the heat takes a hold, you’re bound to come across a runner or two stretching their legs. In the summer evenings, the park becomes a popular picnic spot for families and groups of friends.

The River Walk

This iconic 15-mile waterway is one of America’s largest urban ecosystems, and the beating heart of San Antonio. Highlights include a four-story shopping complex, outdoor performance theatre, eight-mile paddling trail, and a separate channel that leads you to the San Antonio Museum of Art. Visit in April during San Antonio’s Fiesta and you’ll see the waterway lit up with colorful floats for the River Parade.
