Stay in History – Charming King Suite w/ Twin Beds, Jacuzzi and Stone Staircase to Historic Cellar
Welcome to Gruene Homestead – a New Braunfels gem that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary comfort! Nestled within walking distance of the famed Gruene Historic District and just a mile from the iconic Gruene Hall, this one-of-a-kind vacation rental promises an enchanting stay with a dash of nostalgia.
Spread across an eight-acre property, Gruene Homestead was once the beloved bed-and-breakfast, Gruene Homestead Inn; though it no longer serves breakfast, it stands as a testament to timeless splendor. The collection of historic houses on-site, dating from the 1850s to the early 1900s, exudes a captivating ambiance that transports guests to a bygone era.
