Robert Wood Art Cottage - Near Floores Country Store, SeaWorld & Fiesta Texas

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

Hill Country Hideaway

A cozy cottage with a rustic design surrounded by cactus & flora. A secluded setting while still having easy access to main arteries into San Antonio if you plan on visiting some of the local attractions. The comfortable accommodations provide all the necessary amenities which include a courtyard if you’re more interested in relaxing than sightseeing. The hosts are friendly & are available for good conversation. We look forward to a return trip!

John T Floore's Bucket List Weekend

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.

Wonderful stay!

I enjoyed my stay very much. Was in town for a wedding. Venue was only 6 minutes away. Great location to get away from crowds and have a quite place to sleep. Very well furnished and clean. Property managers were easy to get ahold of when I had a question. Would definitely stay her again.

Birthday weekend

I took my wife to San Antonio for a birthday weekend, and we picked this location because it looked like San Antonio because of the courtyard. The house was exactly as listed and had everything we needed, but had a few inconvenient features- the bedroom is on the 2nd floor while the bathroom is on the ground floor, and the 2nd floor was difficult to keep cool in the summer heat. That was more than balanced by the amazing courtyard, where we had breakfast each morning and finished each day. The location was remote and quiet, allowing us to relax outside on a wide variety of furniture and listen to birds and insects mixed with the bubbling fountain. It was a very relaxing stay, and we would recommend this location to others. We had a great weekend!
