Perfect place to stay in Gruene! We were three moms and appreciated the three bedrooms. The decor was fun and fantastic and the host even provided coffee, creamer, and popcorn. Communication was excellent and the unit was spotless. Parking was easy and it was a convenient starting point to walk around Gruene. Really just impressed overall, would love to come back again sometime. Thanks!

We have been visiting Gruene for 25 years. This was our first time staying in town and we were able to visit the cute stores and restaurants and just experience this wonderful little town. This apartment was such a great location because it was walkable to all of the stores, restaurants, Gruene Hall, and was on the river. We sat outside in the mornings with our coffee and looked out over the beautiful trees and listened to the river below. The place itself was decorated beautifully and very clean with plenty of space. The swimming pool was very refreshing and a nice option to have. The owner's communication was very helpful as well. We will definitely return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Alice Bradley

Host profile image
After toiling in corporate America, Alice and I decided to retire, and live in a place we loved, which is Gruene! We love Gruene and take great pride in creating an environment that will have our guests love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

El Caballo is located in the heart of Gruene, walking distance to every venue. The live music scene in Gruene is fantastic, as are the local restaurants. You have everything you need close enough that you don't need to worry about driving anywhere to have a good time. Everybody is happy in Gruene!

What makes this property unique

The location can't be beat! Also, this unit is on the top floor, and is an end unit, which allows spectacular sunset views, and more peace and quiet, with nobody above you or on one side.
We are local and always available if any needs arise, and we love to help with recommendations to make your stay even more memorable.
