About this property

Live like a local -walking distance from Historic Gruene

Professionally decorated in Texas-chic style by a well-known New Braunfels designer and once featured in the New Braunfels Holiday "Detour of Homes". Some features include reclaimed wood floors from a Cotton Gin in Galveston, a huge antler chandelier, and custom antiques. The home has an open floor plan to create a warm and relaxed feel. Now available for 30-day minimum stays only. Winter Texans are welcome or enjoy your own vacation home in the summer and go back and forth to the big city for long weekends.
You will never forget your stay at the Gruene House! Privacy, relaxation and fun are what you will get in this 2 story home--the closest private home located in the original neighborhood in Gruene. Providing more space and charm than a condo, our home combines modern amenities and the comforts of home along with the best location in Gruene.
The home has a primary bedroom with luxe, king bed and large, private bathroom with walk in rain shower on the ground level. Also on the main floor is the well-stocked kitchen open to the living room with bar seating for 3 and a dining table that seats 6. The second floor includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath in the hall way, and loft area with single daybed and desk area. One bedroom has 2 queen beds and one has one queen bed. Off the loft are french doors to an elevated deck overlooking the pool and resort like yard. The backyard has amazing shade trees (unusual in this area) with native flowers and plants.
Still the best feature is the custom designed Guadalupe river style pool complete with Hill Country Boulders and a jumping rock. The bubbler creates a soothing sound for relaxing in the sun (the pool is not heated to swim temperature in the winter months). The Gruene House has everything you need for outdoor entertaining including a firepit and outdoor kitchen area with gas grill and fridge--lots of space to spread out, lounge, swim, and play. The birds are always chirping creating a relaxed atmosphere and melting away your stress. You won't want to leave! Whether you want to CHILL OUT or WARM UP, this is the place to do it, Texas style.
If you get tired of playing and relaxing at home, the fun of "downtown" Gruene is a one block stroll away. Pop into Gruene Hall to catch some live music, the General Store, the Grapevine wine-tasting room or any of the shops and restaurants whenever you please! No driving down a dark, windy road or fighting for a parking spot in the historic district. No arguing about who wants to shop and who wants to get back to the house to relax by the pool or firepit. Gruene has something for people of all ages- shops, restaurants, live music, and the Guadalupe River--all within a short stroll from your private hideaway. *The house is not suitable for children under 6 or those who do not know how to swim.*
Note: all occupants must be listed and ID or DL provided for all adults.

Adorable house in Gruene
This is our second stay at the Gruene House. We cannot say enough great things about the location and the owners! The house sits within a quaint little neighborhood and less than a five-minute walk to all that Gruene has to offer (Gruene Hall, Gruene Grove, cute boutiques and great restaurants). If you don’t feel like walking into town, you can just hang in the gorgeous back yard and listen to the low hum of the music (nothing intrusive). Jim and Montie are proactive to see how your check in went and very responsive, if you have any questions during your stay. They have thought of everything to make sure your stay is comfortable - fully stocked kitchen, soft/fluffy towels, extra bedding and enough seating for everyone.

Tranquility in Gruene, TX
We loved our stay at this adorable house! The attention to detail in creating a Texas feel is in every room. I love to cook and the kitchen did not disappoint - enough room for a couple of cooks. The beds are very comfortable. And that backyard is a little oasis! Whether you’re reading a book on the patio loveseat during the day or listening to the bubbling pool while sitting around the fire pit at night, it’s pure tranquility! The proximity to the historic district of Gruene can’t be beat. The house is minutes from daily live music, restaurants and shopping. So convenient! The owners were fantastic to work with. We loved staying here so much, we booked again for next year!

2nd time as good as the first
This was our second time renting the Gruene House. We loved it so much the first time, we had to stay twice as long! It was exactly like we remembered and it felt good to be back. The owners are a delight to work with and are quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. If you'd like a more detailed review, go to my Mar. 2020 posting. Once again, thank you Montie and Jim for an outstanding stay! God bless.

About the host

Host profile image
We live and work in Houston and get to Gruene as often as we can. We plan to retire in the area someday. In the meantime, work often gets in the way of spending more time in Gruene!

Why they chose this property

We grew up driving 3 hours from Houston to New Braunfels and Gruene to float the Guadalupe and eat at the famous Gristmill. When we learned that this house was for sale, we thought we had found a secret treasure! We never knew there was this quiet neighborhood tucked away in the heart of downtown Gruene and that you could be so lucky to actually live there! The house didn't have a pool so in 2010 we built the custom designed pool to feel like the river is in front of you. The bubbling sound of the fountain and the green river-like water is soothing and relaxing (alot cleaner and less crowded!) We bought this house to share our secret with our friends, family and you!

What makes this property unique

This home is unique primarily because of it's location being a very short walk to all that Gruene has to offer. There is alot of new construction that is extending Gruene further out but it's a much further walk in the Texas heat. We love that we don't have to drive into Gruene for a drink, grab a bite or catch a live band. This is as close as you can get in a private home with all the amenities. In addition, the home and it's decor is warm and inviting--like being on vacation at a bed and breakfast, not a sterile rental with no personality. We like having the space, privacy and peacefulness that you can't get with other properties.
