Our Bed and Breakfast Inn is located in downtown San Antonio, Texas across the street from the beautifully landscaped Riverwalk and minutes to the Alamo by trolley, the perfect location for business or leisure travel. It is in the National Register of Historic places, King William Historic District, San Antonio, Texas, as an "exceptional" City Historic Landmark. The house was built in 1886 by Albert Beckmann for his bride, Marie Dorothea, daughter of the Guenther Flour Mill family, on the mill grounds. The property was given to Albert and Marie Dorothea
as a wedding gift.
About our Bed and Breakfast Inn
The wonderful wrap-around porch warmly welcomes guests to the main house and to the gracious experience of Victorian hospitality in a quiet and tranquil atmosphere. The
white wicker furniture in our
sun porch invites our guests to relax and enjoy their "welcome tea" along with
complementary butter cookies. It is the perfect place to rest and catch your breath after a busy day exploring the city of San Antonio and
all the festivities on the Riverwalk.
The Carriage House lodging
is adjacent to the main house and was built around the turn of the century. It has been completely renovated, featuring shuttered
windows
with flower-filled window boxes, gardens, balcony and patio areas, and has two
rooms for our guest's accommodations.
All of our bed and breakfast guest rooms are very spacious and feature very ornately carved, queen-sized, high-back, Victorian beds, colorful floral
designer furnishings, private bathrooms, lush terry robes, air-conditioning,
ceiling fans, televisions, phones, guest refrigerators, comfortable
armchairs, and desks. Our guests also have hair dryers and ironing boards.
And we personally take care of all our guests and their
needs, so that while they are here at our bed and breakfast, they
have "the warm and gracious hospitality" we are known for. We want our
lodging guests to have the best time possible while they are in San Antonio!
A gourmet breakfast, a two course breakfast with a breakfast dessert, is served in our formal dining room with china, crystal and silver. Fresh ground coffee, specialty teas, uniquely blended fruit juices, a main entree, fresh fruit and coffeecake, muffins or pastries are served to all our bed and breakfast guests. They are beautifully and artistically presented and equally as delicious, always receiving rave reviews! And, our
guests are never served the same breakfast twice.
Our Bed and Breakfast Inn is located in San Antonio's
beautiful King William historic district, the "hidden treasure", the perfect
location for enjoying San Antonio at its very best whether it is for business or leisure travel.
The King William historic district has eight great restaurants: The Guenther House, the Blue Star Brewing Co., El Mirador, La Focaccia, Rosario's,
China Latina, The Mad Hatter, and Azuca. It's always nice to come back after a
busy day to freshen up and be able to walk to one of our neighborhood
restaurants.
