Before I even arrived, driving under the quaint, old one-lane trestle, I knew I was home. Upon arriving at the beautifully maintained home and property, I felt my stress just melt away. The house is immaculate and so welcoming. I enjoyed trying my best to befriend the goats and miniature horses and marveled at the multitude of deer; graceful and quick bucks, doe and babies at practically an arm's length from me and my morning coffee. The hosts were just wonderful, immediately available if you need them but allowing you privacy as well. They are also good conversationalists and pretty funny, too. The location is very private and quiet yet a stone's throw from downtown Gruene. I didn't want to leave, and I can't wait to go back. My thanks to Marjorie and her husband for their kind nature and hospitality.
