Gruene River Guest House - High & Dry On The River

The Gruene River Guest House is a great location to experience all that the New Braunfels & Gruene area have to offer. Situated on 5 beautiful acres of open green space with 300 feet of Guadalupe River frontage it is the perfect location for family reunions, corporate events, small intimate weddings or any group gathering of up to 20 people. The Gruene River Guest House features 4 separate guest suites with 5 bedrooms which sleep 20 in total each with their own private entrance, smart TV and individual AC/Heat.

A wood/charcoal smoker is also available. There is a large deck shaded with large old oak and pecan trees with a Saluspa Hot Tub available with a $20 preparation fee and last but not least a beautiful private swimming pool. Along the river front there are huge ancient cypress trees towering over a private river landing for toobing, kayaking, fishing, or just hanging out in the river. Toobs and kayaks are available for guest use. Also, there is a walkway down to a shaded shallow area just in front of rapids perfect for little ones or lawn chairs in the water. There is a beautiful Gazebo perfect for a romantic riverside wedding or picnic by the rapids. In the open 5 acres there is a volleyball net and a 5 hole disc golf course. Also, there is a volleyball net for the swimming pool and an outdoor ping pong table. A golf cart is available for rent for $50/day to tool around the property and allow easy access to the river.

Lovely home, beautiful outside area! Loved the outdoor kitchen and pool area!Golf cart was great to get down to the river… Because the weather was not perfect at all times, it was difficult getting from one room to the main room/kitchen since not all of the rooms connect through the house. we had a great time in Gruene! Thanks for a lovey stay!

Incredible!

Gruene River Guest House was incredible! The fire pit and umbrella tables by the pool were our favorite. The complete outdoor kitchen was a close second. And the interior was perfect. We actually walked down to the river the second day. We could not have expected or hoped for anything more.

Fun but short

Great property on the river! The only hang up I have is that for the cleaning fee that was charged through VRBO. There was a lot of cleaning that requested to be done from the people that rented it. If you're going to pay such an exuberant cleaning fee there should be nothing that you do as a guest. Just for future reference.

Loved our stay. The only problem we had was that the hot tub did not reach the set temperature. We planned the trip with friends to watch the solar eclipse. Even though we only saw clouds, we had a fun time at the rental where everything was provided and in the best condition.
