Perfect getaway house

Family loved the house. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. The pool was awesome for the morning and evening swims. Great location as we love the attractions in New Braunfels, everything is close by including our favorite winery that I only get to visit once a year. Would definitely stay at this house again and recommend it to others who may be headed that direction.

Wonderful stay on beautiful property!

Roomy and comfortable house worked well for our group of 6 adults and 4 children. The house is well equipped and is accurately described on VRBO. We loved having the pool and liked the shallow shelf with the umbrella for the toddlers. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Thoroughly enjoyed our time!

Great home to get away!

We had a wonderful Spring Break at this home with our family and friends. The location is ideal for close shopping and restaurants. The property is georgeous right now with bluebonnets everywhere. This was the perfect place to get away. Everyone enjoyed playing washers, basketball, swimming, shuffleboard, and s'mores by the fire pit! We will definitely be back!

Spring Break Staycation

I can see why this property has so many 5 star reviews. We were a party of ten, two families, and had a great stay here. The grounds are beautiful, and there is so much outdoor space. The inside was spacious enough, and the game room was perfect for the kids to hang out while the grown ups used the living room. We loved all of the outdoor seating and had a great time using the pool and fire pit. We will be back again.

Loved this place!!!!

This was our second year to stay at Escondida de Gruene. It offers so much for the whole family. The pool was hit with our grandchildren as well as the adults! We loved the fact that it was isolated and the deer never disappointed us. If you are looking for a family place to gather- this is it! The owners were great easy to talk to and connect with any time we needed anything! Thanks Myra and Tim your place is awesome!!!

Company Party

We were originally looking for a place to stay on the river or the lake to have my husband's company party. Instead we found this beautiful property with a great pool! It had plenty of room to entertain. Lots of seating for guests to sit down and eat, inside or out. The pool was really roomy and worked perfectly for all the kids and adults. We had a fabulous time!

My sons cancer free celebration weekend

We had a wonderful time with the family at this beautiful home. The view was breath taking with all the deer in the yard. The entire family had a blast in the pool. You don't need to bring anything but food and cloths and that was excellent. We will definitely be coming back next year. Highly recommend it!!!

Beautiful Property

There were 16 women that stayed in the house and it was perfect. So much fun and a beautiful property. The house was very clean and open. Pool was wonderful and relaxing! There is also a chapel and a large venue for receptions on the property as well. Absolutely stunning, so if you are looking for a wedding venue, check out this property. We were literally 5 minutes from Gruene and our Uber drivers were all very friendly! We would definitely love to stay at this property again.

Family reunion

This was the perfect place to get all the family members together and reconnect. We swam, we barbecued, floated the river, and enjoyed all the wildlife at the deer feeder. The patio was comfortable with plenty of seating and most evenings were spent just sitting and talking. Each family was comfortable in their own room. The kitchen was completely stocked and all we had to bring was food and paper goods. We had such a great time.

Perfect large family property!

We loved this house!! Location is awesome, pool is gated and clean, plenty of space inside for four couples and toddlers. Here are my key takeaways - - excellent proximity to Greune, Landa Park, and Schlitterbahn (super easy and quick drives!) - gated pool (necessity for toddlers) - large outdoor area (paved walkways, porch swing, tree house, pool, picnic tables) - lots of smooth pathways that would be perfect for toddlers on scooters or kids on bikes - we didn’t think about this but if we return then we would definitely bring bring bikes for the little ones! - the house is not keyless entry (one hardkey provided at check in) so will need to coordinate with your group if going different places

Great family space

We had a great time at this beautiful property and would definitely recommend it. It was clean and everything was just as shown on the website. We loved walking around the grounds and very much enjoyed the seclusion. The only negative I could give is that on the day before we left, the pool was serviced around 2pm and they advised us to stay out of the pool for at least 4 hours. That was extremely dissappointing to my young grandkids and the adult alike.

Great Getaway

We had a great time! The house is on an awesome property that also features a Wedding Chapel and party venue. Great for kids to walk and ride bikes and have some independent time. Property is gated with very minimal traffic. We enjoyed the pool every day and kids had fun in the treehouse. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Property is very close to Gruene and Canyon Lake. I would definitely stay again. Owner is also on property in private resident and available if needed.

About the host

Hosted by Myra Zunker

Host profile image
My husband and I are both natives of New Braunfels. Growing up in New Braunfels was a blessing in disguise. We floated the Comal and Guadalupe rivers every chance we got. There were times that we floated both rivers in one day. As a kid you don't seem to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding area you are growing up in. But now that we are on the other side, we realize how blessed we were to grow up in a community with not one but two beautiful rivers, a quaint little town and Gruene Hall where we along with our parents have danced to many a good songs. We went to Canyon High School here in New Braunfels, married and have raised our family here. We currently live on the property next door to Escondida de Gruene

Why they chose this property

We bought this property with the intention of creating a place for families to come and enjoy a relaxing vacation. This is the original ranch home built in 1976 featuring beautiful rock walls in every room. We have expanded over the last few years and have added a beautiful Wedding Venue and Events Center. Please see visit our website, www.chandelierofgruene.com for more information. Family is important to us and we wanted to share Escondia de Gruene so other families could enjoy a slice of what we grew up enjoying. There are lots of beautiful places you can stay on the rivers, but not many that are a private retreat away from the hustle and bustle, a secluded oasis as Escondida de Gruene. You are close enough to enjoy everything New Braunfels and Gruene has to offer, then come home to your own private retreat!

What makes this property unique

Private swimming pool with shallow sun deck and umbrella for the little ones. Lots of outdoor dining area. Large screen TV in gameroom to watch movies or Hook up your Xbox and play games. Adults can enjoy a game of shuffleboard indoors while watching the flat screen TV above the fireplace. Custom made card/dominoe tables on the back porch made by my Dad, known to our family as Opa. Relax on the front porch in the handmade furniture and porch swing built by my father-n-law, known to our family as PaPaw. Game room opens up to the back porch, patio and pool creating a gathering place for the entire family.
