About this cottage rental
GREY FOREST COTTAGES: Robert Wood Art Cottage (#2) You'll have all the comforts of home in this historic limestone cottage with all the updated amenities. This rock cottage is perfect for relaxing and taking a break from all the stresses of life or after an eventful day visiting SeaWorld, Six Flags, the iconic country music venue Floore’s Country Store or the romantic San Antonio RiverWalk. Your rustic loft sits next to the main house of this historic property. This little pocket of paradise is nestled right on the outskirts of NW San Antonio and was home to the famous landscape artist Robert Wood back in the 1930's and 40’s. THE SPACE This historic rock cottage is a loft style with an upstairs bedroom furnished with a comfortable King bed, a nostalgic tin roof ceiling and lots of windows. (This is the actual room the famous British landscape painter, Robert Wood, used as his art studio.) Downstairs are an updated kitchen with granite countertops, a renovated bathroom with walk-in shower and an inviting living room with French doors that open to the rock courtyard. This cottage also has high-speed wireless internet access as well as a flat screen Smart TV & cable programming. GUEST ACCESS You will have access to a furnished outdoor rock courtyard with a waterfall fountain, or you can just sit around the fire pit during cool evenings. A washer & dryer are located on the premises should guests need to do a single load. You are also free to use our two nostalgic cruiser bicycles to explore the country lanes of Grey Forest. THE NEIGHBORHOOD Perhaps the best feature of our cottages is that they are located in historical Grey Forest not far from the old stagecoach line from Boerne to San Antonio. We are just minutes from SeaWorld and Six Flags and only about 17 miles from the Alamo and the romantic San Antonio Riverwalk. If you want to stay closer, within walking or biking distance is a very romantic and well known restaurant called the ‘Grey Moss Inn’ ( In addition there are various nature walking paths, a spring fed creek and Madla Natural Area close by. We are only 2.5 miles from Old Town Helotes, which is home to the John T. Floore Country Store where major Country Music acts routinely perform. ( It is where Willie Nelson got his start and still plays every October. Market Days are every first Saturday of the month where you can visit are several shops and just enjoy the "Old Town" feel. Near the end of April or start of May - there is the Cornyvall event with small parades, carnival and even a

Beautiful property in a wooded, relaxing neighborhood with an amazing guest house cottage and courtyard built with stone yet with all the modern amenities needed. Kept us cool in the Texas heat, was a calm, thoughtful and romantic escape for my wife and I, and it opened our eyes to a charming area in Helote in NW San Antonio. Still within 30-40 minutes from downtown, SW San Antonio, and the airport, it was a perfect location to balance all of our activities. Owners were extremely gracious and kind throughout the stay. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. Hoping to stay here again if we’re ever back in the area!

Property was close to Floore's, Helotes shopping, and Bandera. Off the beaten path. Tucked into a beautiful, treed neighborhood, with patio seating.
Accommodation is nicely decorated, has full kitchen, covered stoop, back door to patio, great wifi and TV service.
Only thing that could possibly be added is small square shelf unit next to bathroom sink. Loved the natural stone and weathered wood throughout the place.

The coziness off the beaten path makes this a wonderful place to relax and collect your thoughts. Just the right amount of space and comfort. I didn’t have an opportunity to use the grill/bbq. That will be the plan on the next visit while I sit in the courtyard. The owner was very inviting and made you feel like a welcomed guest in her home site.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very nice, the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we were to travel to the area again. We stayed for 10 days and an outdoor trash receptacle would have been useful. Other than that I would definitely recommend staying here.

A perfect location off the beaten path, but still close to things.

The cottage was very cute. We did find the bathroom on the first floor and the bedroom on the second floor to be inconvenient. At our age frequent bathroom trips at night are not uncommon. Parking was very tight and required a lot of inching forward and back to get out without damage. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and appreciated the old school motif throughout the cottage and the grounds.

Affordable and great for the time of year!

The cottage was very unique and decorated with a lot of Texas character.
Roomy and rustic, and that it was a former art studio added to its charm.
There was an issue with the toilet which Kate took care of promptly.
Highly recommended, would stay here again if back in the SA area.

We stayed in cottage #2. It's a small, cozy cottage but a little more rundown than the pictures depicted. Our arrival seemed to be a surprise (we booked on expedia), the inside of the cottage was a little dusty. There is a nice patio area, it is right next to cottage #2. the drawback is when anyone is out there having conversation it feels like there inside yer cabin talking.
Parking for a full size pick up is a little tight so drive a car if you have that option. No pets are allowed; however, there are a dog n cat the roam the property. Both are friendly, but if you have allergies, it's good to know they are there.

Our stay was amazing! The cottage was the perfect getaway for us. Just by chance we were able to meet the owners who were equally accommodating. Thank you John and Catherine for letting us stay. We would love to come back and stay again!

Adorable and Rustic Weekend Getaway
We stayed here for a 2 night, couples getaway. The cabin was very quaint and private. It is directly behind the main home, but detached. The owner greeted us on our way to our car our first night there and wished us a good time, she was very kind. The cabin has everything you could need, linens, towels, extra blankets, air mattress, infant play yard, dishes, cups, utensils, pots, coffee maker, toaster, range, microwave, full size fridge, there was also coffee, tea, and sugar. It is a great sized cabin with the bed upstairs. There are 2 AC units that keep the place very cool. We really enjoyed our stay here. My only thing is that directions to get to the parking were a little confusing, as it does not specify which driveway to turn into and we though we had to drive around the main home. Also, be aware this is Texas so there are little insects around. We did find a spider and a couple other harmless bugs inside the kitchen and bathroom of the cabin. This cabin is old and I'm inclined to believe it was not originally built with the intentions of being lived/slept in. They do have several ultrasonic insect repellents plugged in throughout the cabin, so I know they are aware of it and it is likely a normal occurrence for that part of Texas. We weren't bothered by it in the slightest. It was only about 5 minutes from the main parts of Helotes and 20-30 from San Antonio. Great location.

Beautiful cottage with a stone courtyard right outside the french doors. The location was perfect! Around 30 minutes to downtown San Antonio but away from all the noise & traffic. A nice quiet get away after spending our days in the city. We will be back to this cottage!
