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. The outdoor Cantina consist of a large covered kitchen and dining area with a huge propane grill, stove burners, ice machine, refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, microwave and sink. It has a 70" large screen outdoor smart TV, bluetooth enabled sound bar, multiple hot weather fans, cold weather propane patio heater, propane fired fire table, a 10 foot long raw edge cedar plank bar and a wide array of lighting. 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. On summer weekends multiple Guest House water cannons shoot water into the air at the riverfront to cool passing by toobers. All in all something for everybody!

Why they chose this property
Whenever we traveled we have always preferred to stay at the "mom & pop" places vs the resorts and chain hotels. Each place had its own unique quality and we would enjoy meeting the owners and hearing their stories. Whether it was just the two of us or finding a place large enough to accommodate our large blended family we always enjoyed these places the most. When we would find something we really liked we would begin to dream about one day finding something similar and starting our own "mom & pop" place. Our dream came true when we came across The Gruene River Guest House in an internet search for an "inn for sale" in Texas. The Gruene River Guest House had what we were looking for, a beautiful property, close to family, large enough for family get togethers of our own, and near outdoor activities that could be enjoyed by all. All this right in the middle of a vibrant community that is 100% pure TEXAS!
What makes this property unique
The Gruene River Guest House is more than just a vacation rental it is truly a special place. It is where memories that are meant to last a lifetime begin. Many of our guests have been coming to The Gruene River Guest House for many years and often book early to save "their weekend". What makes The Gruene River Guest House special is our guests and the memories they make here!
