Gruene River Guest House - High & Dry On The River

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.

Lynnae and Jeff were great hosts and very accomodating with check-in times. The property was great for our large group and had everything we needed. All around great place and can't wait to come back!
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.
If you are needing a large home full of charm and fun, this is your spot. River access, pool, spa and plenty of room! Great outdoor kitchen to relax and unwind.
Beautiful property. A very relaxing atmosphere. Amazing outdoor area, with grills, refrigerators, ice maker and a big screen TV. Had a great time watching the Texas Longhorns win their home opener. We will definitely be back!
Perfect property with lots of space. The 5 acres were great for grandkids running around. Could not have been happier, they made our wedding absolutely perfect.
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.
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.
We had a great time at this property. Perfect for the whole family. Both kids and adults had a great time at the river and swimming in the pool, the property has everything you need! Large enough space that 4 families could comfortably stay there. Jeff and Lynnae were amazing host! Can’t say enough great things! We will be back.
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.
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!
Our stay was very enjoyable, Jeff showed us around upon arrival and didn't miss a thing. Outdoor kitchen was fantastic. The entire stay whether raining or sunshine was great.
