Fantastic!

I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of my stay, Both times! The week prior I visited with my boss and we stayed on the second floor it was amazing so I had my following visit booked the same day I returned home from the first visit. The property is very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The Hosts, Kathleen and Greg were So kind and welcoming. This will definitely be the first place I check availability for next time I am down that direction. Thank you so much for hosting my stay. I will be back for sure!

Comfort and Charm

My husband, daughter and I were attending an old friend's debut at Gruene Hall, so location was important. The front porch caught our eye when booking. What a treat it was to sit in the rockers with morning coffee and watch the deer.

River Haven Guest House on the first floor

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Haven Guest House on the first floor. The owners (Kathleen and Greg) were extremely nice and a pleasure to talk to. Their place is tucked away just down the road from Gruene and has all the comforts of home. It's beautifully furnished, extremely clean and has everything one needs! Whether you're sitting on the front porch in the morning having a cup of coffee or in the evening enjoying a glass of wine, you'll see deer grazing in the front yard. We went for walks every morning as well, and the deer were everywhere. It's absolutely a beautiful location! We have visited Gruene and New Braunfels many times over the years and would highly the River Haven Guest House! As a matter of fact, this will be our first-choice next time we visit! You won't be disappointed and without any hesitation, we give it 5 Stars! Thanks Dirk and Khristi

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Schelling

Your hosts, Greg and Kathleen Schelling, built River Haven with comfort, relaxation, privacy and refreshment in mind. In the style of an historic, German Sunday House, the lodging will afford you with an experience reminiscent of a stay at an old home or dressed-up tree house (if you choose the upper level) with the conveniences of modern amenities and easy recreation. Kathleen traces her heritage to original German settlers in Texas (the Round Top area) and a background in offering hospitality and joy-filled fellowship. We value rich fellowship, nature, timeless quality, clean comforts like crisp white linens, and high standards that are often referred to as "vintage" today.

Why they chose this property

In the style of an historic, German Sunday House, the lodging will afford you with an experience reminiscent of a stay at an old home or dressed-up tree house (if you choose the upper level) with the conveniences of modern amenities. Located just a short walk to Gruene, Texas, in the old Preiss Heights neighborhood, guests will experience abundant wildlife such as white-tailed deer, foxes, owls, hawks, and many other birds. Whether you desire a cozy, secluded stay, a gathering of several friends or family members, or just a fresh landing spot to recharge while shopping or visiting tourist attractions, River Haven will provide its guests with a lovely location to rest, freshen-up, work, or play. WE CANNOT ACCOMMODATE PARTIES OR EVENTS AT RIVER HAVEN.

What makes this property unique

Because we are not located right on the Guadalupe, we are often sought after for the peace and quiet we can afford at River Haven. River access is only a half mile from us, and the village of Gruene is one mile away, however, and we have the unique quality of being desirable for every season, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, where guests can enjoy shows by artisans, seasonal activities, superior music at Gruene Hall, Whitewater Amphitheater, River Road Ice House, as well as numerous nearby smaller venues in Gruene and New Braunfels. San Marcos Outlet Shopping is a 20 minute drive away and downtown New Braunfels is 11 minutes away, and you will find abundant night life, antiquing and shopping there, also. Don't forget Wurstfest in the Fall!
