Very clean and well set up. I loved the quiet and peacefulness this property offered. The host was warm, friendly and communicated often to ensure our stay was as expected.
Had a great weekend at the cottage. A great place to stay if you want to get out of the city. The town of Grey Forest is beautiful. The cottage was great for my Wife and I. My only gripe was parking as my wife and I had to drive up separately, but that was hardly an issue as 3 cars can fit back there if your careful.
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.
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!
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.
There were a number of basic issues that the owner did not address.It is a quaint cottage that would have received a higher rating if our issues were addressed fairly.

*WARNING - PROPERTY HAS ROACHES*I had booked this house based on all the prior rave reviews. The pictures did seem to be the same as cottage itself. The yard could’ve used some upkeep, but overall the pictures did the cottage justice. What wasn’t disclosed was the roach infestation that infiltrated the house and was only treated 1 week prior. When we arrived, we found roaches running from under our shoes when they were moved. We then found them crawling behind the TV display downstairs. They were then found running around the shower, with 2 dead found in the shower. There was one the size of a half-dollar that went under the stove. There was one eating another bug under the chair in the living room. The host did try to rectify the situation, but admitted they found a roaches nest that was missed when they proofed the house 1 week prior. They did not move any furniture to check underneath, and stated they have a designated broom to stick under furniture to check. There was roach spray under the kitchen cabinet, as I’m sure this isn’t a one-time deal. I understand having rain, but a listing shouldn’t be made if you just used pest control before someone was to stay here. We ended up having to leave a day early due to the infestation. The host did refund the last night, but is refusing the remainder. The amenities weren’t used, we couldn’t make food in fear of the roaches. I would assume if they were to stay somewhere with roaches, they would want a refund too…
