Ruckman Haus
-
When you stay in our Sun room, you'll think you're in Acapulco. It's bright and airy, done in a color scheme of yellow and blue, and has Spanish tile and other colorful accents throughout. The suite is actually two separate rooms. In the bedroom, you'll sleep soundly in the queen-size, Spanish Colonial bed- particularly if you choose to luxuriate beforehand in the beautiful tiled shower with its three body jets.
At the other end of the suite is the room that puts the "sun" in "Sun Room." This room has windows with stained-glass accents on three sides. It is bright and invites you to sit back, kick off your shoes and relax. Serve yourself a cold drink or a hot toddy from your own wet bar and refrigerator. From this living area, a spiral staircase leads to a completely private rooftop deck.
The English Room doesn't have a funny red phone booth but it does have a wonderfully large, four-poster bed that you'll feel like getting lost in. The room has numerous English accents such as the English Highboy armoire, and a comfortable, over-stuffed chair for reading or relaxing. While Ruckman Haus doesn't have a massage therapist on staff, believe us when we say that luxuriating in the three-jet shower is the next best thing.
When you stay in our French Room, you'll be in San Antonio, but you'll THINK you're in Provence. The room itself is decorated in blues and yellows, and the windows have stained glass accents. You will say "vive la France" as you sink into your heirloom iron bed, and, if you leave the shades just so, you will be gently awakened by the east sun. The room has a spacious sitting area where you can relax after a day in the city.
Bonnie lads and lassies will feel like doing a Scottish Fling in the Highlands, but it might be better to do the Texas Two-Step instead. The Highlands, occupying the entire third floor, is spacious, bright, and full of nooks and crannies. Built in an "L" shape, it's ideal for larger parties; there are two separate sleeping areas. They both share the rooms's outstanding feature- its unique bathroom with large window, hardwood floors, cathedral-ceiling, and antique clawfoot tub.
European efficiency meets Texas charm in our Luxembourg Room. We don't think of this room as the smallest in our house; we think of it as the coziest. The focus of this room is its oversized sleigh bed that is one of the most restful in the house. There is a built-in armoire and vanity, and a bath with a large shower accented with glass blocks.
The East Patio is one of the places where guests may take their breakfast or relax in the afternoon.
At one end of our large living room is our guest library and reading area.
The large living room has a fireplace, sofa and lounge chairs, and is the ideal place for guests to gather and converse. Beyond the living room, through the archway, is our dining room.

Ruckman Haus is a charming, centrally-located bed and breakfast in the heart of the most historic area of San Antonio. We are located 2 miles northwest of downtown and the historic San Antonio Riverwalk. Ruckman Haus is a turn-of-the-century stucco home that reflects the distinct Spanish influences in San Antonio. We are within walking distance of many attractions and restaurants. Shopping, including antiques and traditional store items, is close by. At the house itself guests will find a spacious living room, comfortable library nook and a large dining room. Outside are a shady patio and a large deck where guests may gather for afternoon refreshments and conversation.

This is our third stay at Ruckman House...and we are staying there again in two weeks. The house is lovely -- filled with antiques and beautiful artwork. Our room was clean, beautifully furnished and comfortable. The innkeepers have mastered B&B hospitality. Ron's blueberry pancakes are to die for!

April 07, 2013
Lovely B&B in San Antonio! Highly recommended! Ron and Prudence are really welcoming and the house is lovely and the bedrooms spotless clean and charming. We also enjoyed staying outside in the garden and on the terrace with complimentary drinks. Ron and Prudence also provided us with great recommendations, even outside San Antonio! Thanks again Ron for the really good breakfast! It was also nice to spend some time with Ron and Prudence after breakfast and sharing stories! Perfectly located B&B only 10 min drive from city center.
5 out of 5husbands surprise birthday trip
April 05, 2013
I wanted to plan something very special for my husband’s 39th birthday, so after being leery and never staying at a bed and breakfast before, I thought why not. We are so glad we did, we loved it! When we checked into our room there were some cupcakes in our room for his birthday. Ron was Great, Prudence was so Sweet! Ron knew it all, where to eat, where to go. We really enjoyed talking to him. He told us several places to eat and the restaurants gave us a discount just because we were staying at the house. Our room was very clean and nice, loved the shower! But we really loved the patio. We sat out there and listened to the water from the garden, drank beer, and talked. We had not gotten to do that in so so long. Breakfast was GREAT, my husband loved Ron’s eggs frittata! The garden was beautiful, the house is nice. Overall we loved it and never felt like we were bothering them or a burden. We were extremely comfortable being there, and plan on doing it again!!!
5 out of 5Wonderful!

Our stay at the Ruckman Haus was more than we expected. The French room was beautifully decorated and clean. The breakfast was incredible. The garden was amazing and colorful. Ron and Prudence really know their business! I can't wait until our next trip back to San Antonio.
