  • Inn Details

    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.

    My husband and I always plan a stay at the Ruckman Haus for our anniversary, the Ruckmans prepare perfection for breakfast after the best night's sleep and the most amazing shower in the world (in the Sun Room and English Room--body jets in the shower!) The only problem is that one night is not enough!!!

    A Lovely Experience

    My husband and I stayed for one night in the English suite, which was charming and comfortable and had a nice multi-jet shower. (We peeked at the other rooms, which also seemed delightful - hard to choose among them!). We also enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful living room/library with a cup of tea or margarita and good reading material. The hosts, Ron and Prudence, were friendly and welcoming,, and provided good information about local sights. The breakfast was bountiful - a huge waffle with a ton of berries, on the day we were there, though other options were possible. We especially appreciated their accommodation of food allergies, as well as their generous provision of midnight snacks. Everything was very romantic! The only small minus was that our room was a bit chilly, and turning the heater up didn't seem to help - though perhaps there was a trick that we would have inquired about had we stayed another night. All in all, a very nice experience and we would definitely go back.

    Mom, you have stay here too

    We send our "kids" here for their weekend honeymoon. They wee very happy. They stayed in the French room. The comment we got from them is : You have to go too. They loved the view of the back yard - my son comapared the view to his favorite place in Thailand. After I made the reservation for them I spoke to Prudence on the phone and she was "supernice". We are planning to stay for a weekend in a few month.....

    Another outstanding stay with Ron and Prudence!

    It is always a pleasure to stay with Ron and Prudence. As B&B owners for over 25 years, we know that hospitality is #1. They have a first-rate facility with all the details attended to, yet it's in the hospitality department where they really shine. Not only do they make excellent recommendations, they also give you maps with detailed driving instructions. All of this adds up to a wonderful experience of staying at Ruckman Haus and in visiting San Antonio.
