Gruene River Haven - High & Dry On The River

The Gruene River Haven sleeps 22 and is a fantastic location to experience all that the New Braunfels and Gruene area have to offer. Situated directly on the Guadalupe River with 150 feet of river frontage it is the perfect location for family reunions, corporate events, small intimate weddings or any group gathering. Along the riverfront there are huge ancient cypress trees towering over a private floating river dock perfect for toobing, kayaking, or fishing. The grounds consist of covered and shaded patios surrounded by large pecan and oak trees, a large fire pit area and a lush green lawn leading down to the river. On the patio there is a 55" large screen outdoor smart TV, bluetooth enabled sound bar, propane fired BBQ grill, charcoal/wood smoker, propane fired fire table, hot weather outdoor fan and a cold weather propane fired patio heater. Also, there is a 12 foot long outdoor cedar plank "Star Bar" perfect for summer time toober people watching. Toobs and kayaks are available for guest use. There is a Saluspa Hot Tub on an outdoor deck available with a $20 preparation fee. The house is a cozy setting with virtually every room in the house having an amazing view of the Guadalupe River. 9 bedrooms give everyone the privacy they need while still sleeping 22 comfortably. There are smart TVs in every bedroom, living room and patio with cable. There is a dining room and breakfast dining area perfect for large holiday meals. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils and cooking essentials. There is a high chair and pack n play available.

Pets are generally not allowed but exceptions can be made for one maybe two pets under 50 lbs. You must request owner permission, sign a pet waiver and pay $50/day per pet fee/deposit before arrival.

There is a vacation rental RV on a secluded part of the property at the top of a hill away from the main house which we rent separately and may have guests staying in it during your stay.

The RV mentioned above can be made available to rent in addition to the main house for larger groups. With the RV rented in addition to the main house there is sleeping space for 26 and room to park 15 vehicles. Please contact us for details.

It is possible that during daylight hours only we will need to launch toobers and kayakers from the river dock during your stay. These will be guests staying at our other properties.

Great Time

What a great home! The setting is perfect, the water is pristine and the Cypress trees are huge. The shaded back yard is 10 degrees cooler than in the sun, plenty of space for lots of friends. The covered patio (with ceiling fans) was perfect!

River resort

All of our friends/family want to go back! It's a really cool old house by the river with plenty of space for yard games. Plus having the river right there with so many kayaks and tubes to use is a huge plus to the property. The owners are super nice as well.

Gruene Teambuilding

We had a great time at this home! It was even better than the pictures depicted. Very cute/quaint house along the river. We enjoyed the deer walking up in the morning and the peaceful views looking out over the water. It was a great time with our dental office team to relax and enjoy each other.

Great Stay at Riverfront House

We had a very big group and there was so much for everyone to do and plenty of room for us all to sleep. Perfectly located...right on the river and super close to Gruene Hall. The fire pit, the canoes, the grills and so much great yard seating. We loved it and can't wait to go again.

Great Trip!

The owners were very helpful and welcoming people. We had a fun, easy trip. It’s great to have the kayaks and tubes on property. We spent most of our time swimming off the dock and fishing from the kayaks right by the property. We will definitely rent this house again :-)

Our family enjoyed our stay at Gruene River Haven. We had 14, various ages and interests. They enjoyed the dock, the river and the hot tub. Lots of rooms, sort of quirky vintage but everything was really nice. Beautiful yard with deer visitors.

Great place!

We rented this house for my 50th birthday celebration and it was perfect. Lots of room for everyone and you can’t beat the location. The river is deep in front on the house/dock and there were plenty of floats and kayaks for us to use. Some sweet deer came to visit and we saw a large variety of birds. The green spaces are well manicured and there is plenty of room and seating outside as well as in. We would definitely stay here again.

We've stayed here a few times now. We love this place. There are around 20 of us in our group and there is so much space. It's so close to Gruene Hall, river rentals, restaurants and it's right on the river!!! We really love the fire pit and kayaks. The owner is very helpful! We'll be back for sure.

A Slice of Heaven

This property was inviting, peaceful, easy to visit with each other, shady cooling extra hot days, and acommadated a large family well. The water was mostly private and like a lake. Our family usually stay at the beach, but now they chose this place over the beach. I can not say enough good about the owners. They were wonderful!
