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. 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.
PETS ON PROPERTY
Our Dog Dakoka has full run of the property. He is a medium sized Blue Healer mix and is super friendly. He will likely follow you up the driveway and welcome you onto the property.
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

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.
We love staying here. The cottage and grounds are beautiful and relaxing. Great location for going just about anywhere around San Antonio. The hosts are wonderful too!! We'll be back for sure!
This is my second time staying at this property and always enjoy it. It certainly is eclectic but very nice and comfortable. The owners are good people and very accommodating. The house is as described and has everything you need.
Cottage was tastefully decorated! Very inspiring for a couple whom want to stay in an artsy place out in a country setting! Hosts very friendly & accommodating!
Kate and John are superstar hosts. They are really nice people and the patio, water feature, and trees are incredible. I’m looking forward to my next stay.
Such an adorable home with a lovely shared outdoor space! There is a great restaurant just minutes away. So close to San Antonio but it feels like a world away. We will definitely be back!
We loved or stay in this one of a kind cottage. We had plenty of privacy, and enjoyed the beautiful patio and the array of local birds so much. The upstairs bedroom sports a comfy king size bed and a beautiful view of the area. We are looking forward to our next visit.
We love this place.It has so much character. Very comfortable bed every thing you need for a rest from the city life .but close to stores restaurantsWe bring food and cook on the property pots pans full size fridge. The cutest court yard ever
We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful 100+ year old cottage that has been updated and maintained very well. Bedroom was comfortable and it was remarkably quiet to sleep. Much better than a hotel with other guests banging the hallways. Instructions were clear and check in was completely on our time and was easy. We look forward to staying there on our next trip to the area.
This property was close to the city, but offer the quiet one looks for in a get away. The owner was very helpful, and the home was fully stocked. It is a small space, but it is very open. The shower is beautiful! I definitely recommend this property. Very clean, and gorgeous!
We stayed for the weekend so that my husband could see a show at historic John T. Floore's Country Store. The property was fantastic and very peaceful, and so was the neighborhood. It is a quick 2.5 miles to JTF. I would LOVE to return to stay longer and spend some time relaxing on the patio.
Great space for my 1st trip to San Antonio. The outdoor spaces were welcoming. The indoor ambiance of the stone cottage was relaxing and charming. Met Kate on my second day, after arriving late the night before. She was most gracious and welcoming. I would stay there again.
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.
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!
While in Helotes for a music event had the pleasure of staying at the Art cottage. All was as explained and had a Great stay. If artsy and eclectic age is not your bag stay in a fancy hotel. If quiet and a woodsy feel is to your liking this is your spot!! 3 miles or so to old town Helotes and Floores Country store for music. This place and Marys Tacos are a must if visiting the San A &Helotes area. Also the Six Klick Cafe is a good spot. Hanging out on the patio under the giant Oak trees at the cottage is a cool spot.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
The place was very clean, pretty and comfortable. The parking was a little small since we had a pickup. The communication about how we should get in the house and how to check out was not explained to us beforehand. But the lady was very nice when she did communicate with us. The staircase in the house is a safety hazard. The stairs are very narrow and the banisters are loose.
