The location of this property is perfect. You can walk everywhere. You can even walk right down into the water and sit in your float and watch everyone go by! The condo is very clean and was stocked with everything necessary. The owners were very accommodating and answered questions quickly! Will stay here again!!

5/5 - Perfect Location and Amazing Stay!

We had a fantastic time staying at this property! The location couldn’t have been better – everything we needed was just steps away. The restaurants, shops, Gruene Groove, and Goodwin’s speakeasy were within easy walking distance, making our trip super convenient. The condo itself was clean and comfortable. The host was responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in, which made the whole process seamless. If you're looking for a great spot that combines comfort and an unbeatable location, this is the place. We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect location!

We booked this VRBO for our first annual girls trip and we are already making plans to go back! The property was in the perfect location for shopping and dinning out as well as river access to both the Comal and Guadalupe. The view from the balcony was beautiful! We can't wait to get back sooner verses later!

Great property!!

We went for a concert at Gruene Hall. This property was so close we could walk. Very clean and spacious. It is on the top floor and a corner unit so you have great privacy on the back balcony. It is super quiet and the bed slept wonderfully. We would not hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect stay in Gruene

Our stay was amazing - from check in to check out. The condo is wonderful and the amenities far exceeded what was expected. The location couldn’t be better to visit Gruene Hall for a concert and to walk all around town. Having assigned parking in Gruene is a life saver on a weekend. The complex was quiet which was great after a busy day. We can’t wait to visit again!

Great location

We loved the location and being able to walk to one of our favorite areas - Gruene Hall, Gristmill, etc. So much fun! Plus, Rockin’ R tube rental is a short few minutes car ride. The property was very clean and perfect for larger groups (we had 6). Attention to detail was much appreciated from the coffee beans and grinder to plenty of towels and stocked kitchen. Alice was very responsive to all communication and made it an ease to check in, etc. We did stay in July, when afternoon temps were in the low 100’s. This unit is on the 3rd floor with a beautiful west-facing view and nice patio but it also made for a very hot afternoon sun that beat down on the west side. The A/C really struggled to keep the unit cold, especially on the west side, where the M. Bedroom is located. Ceiling fans and additional supplied fans are there to “help” but it’s the warm air that’s being pushed around that made for uncomfortable nights. Other bedrooms, on the east side, stayed fairly cool. The patio was perfect in the morning for coffee and conversation . Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Property managers are excellent! Great communication. The condo is spotless. They have thought of everything including coffee, creamer and a fresh bag of ice in freezer. Beds and linens are top notch. We will definitely stay here again . It’s so close to everything. We have stayed at this location several times in different units. This was by far the best maintained.

About the host

Hosted by Alice Bradley

Host profile image
After toiling in corporate America, Alice and I decided to retire, and live in a place we loved, which is Gruene! We love Gruene and take great pride in creating an environment that will have our guests love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

El Caballo is located in the heart of Gruene, walking distance to every venue. The live music scene in Gruene is fantastic, as are the local restaurants. You have everything you need close enough that you don't need to worry about driving anywhere to have a good time. Everybody is happy in Gruene!

What makes this property unique

The location can't be beat! Also, this unit is on the top floor, and is an end unit, which allows spectacular sunset views, and more peace and quiet, with nobody above you or on one side.
We are local and always available if any needs arise, and we love to help with recommendations to make your stay even more memorable.
