Lynnae met us at the property and gave us a tour. She was an amazing host! It was our son’s wedding weekend and he and his groomsmen shared the Paris room, jumped in the river, and enjoyed the pool! My husband and I loved the Texas room and watching all the fun! Located so close to downtown Gruene and the wedding at The Chandelier. A perfect property for our weekend!

Incredible!

Gruene River Guest House was incredible! The fire pit and umbrella tables by the pool were our favorite. The complete outdoor kitchen was a close second. And the interior was perfect. We actually walked down to the river the second day. We could not have expected or hoped for anything more.

What a great find were the remarks I heard pretty much all weekend. Plenty of room for our group of ~16 girls. River access was perfect, pool was amazing and the house was beautiful. The owners could not have been more helpful and accessible.

Amazing place

From the moment you get there, you realize that you’ve just made a great decision. The pecan trees, oak trees are stunning. The back patio/ pool / grill area is perfect. Ton of space to cook, etc… The whole property lights up at night, which makes for a great walk or a slow golf cart ride down to the river and gazebo area. I will rent this place again, so much fun and close to everything. Y’all made my 50th birthday party a memorable one.

Expensive but highly worth it

Perfect! Only things that could make it better is a pool bathroom toilet and a bigger living room in which to gather. The river is the best 👌. The pool was the highlight! Everyone who came left absolutely happy and joyous that they experienced this small haven on earth. Thank you for and awesome time to the owners!

Fun but short

Great property on the river! The only hang up I have is that for the cleaning fee that was charged through VRBO. There was a lot of cleaning that requested to be done from the people that rented it. If you're going to pay such an exuberant cleaning fee there should be nothing that you do as a guest. Just for future reference.

Impressive property and Very accommodating to all my family. It has it all, riverfront to tube and float the river and it comes with all needed equipment plus a golf cart if wanted. The outside patio and outdoor kitchen is 5 star rated and the pool is an awesome extra. Our hostess was excellent and and showed us the whole property and history. I will definitely be coming back. It's also 4 minutes to the waterpark which was a plus.
