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 cottage also has high-speed wireless internet access as well as a flat screen Smart TV & cable programming.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! It has a very comfortable king bed and great shower with amazing water pressure. Although we did not cook any meals during our stay, the kitchen looked fully outfitted with everything you would need. Beautiful property in the quaint town of Grey Forest!
This cottage is nicely located in a quiet neighborhood yet close to town and all the necessities. A great gas station and convenience store (QT) is easily accessible just a couple miles towards Helotes. Walmart and HEB, along with plenty of shops and restaurants are located nearby. A Par 3 golf course is also close and can be played into the night as it is lighted for night play. Highly recommend you bring some golf clubs.
Absolute perfection! Quiet, clean and cozy. I travel a lot for work and prefer a homier environment than what a hotel room can offer. This cottage had every amenity I needed and was so quiet and restful. The owners were very communicative and accommodating. It is so close to everything San Antonio has to offer but tucked away so neatly you would think you are in a remote hill country cabin. Will definitely return on my next trip to SA.
Quaint stone cottage in quiet area outside of town. Beautiful outdoor patios with lots of seating. Nearby hiking. Excellent choice for a couple who want to relax and unwind.
My husband and I loved our stay here. The location was perfect. The cottage was so quiet and had all we needed and then some. We enjoyed the outdoor patio in the evenings so much. Definitely would stay here again if our plans are in the area.
This was a cozy cottage where we stayed during our visit to San Antonio. We were happy to have a really nice space of our own a bit away from the craziness of downtown.
