8Sages-Barn Cottage ~ Accommodates 6 ~ Private Plunge Pool
This beautifully renovated barn located within minutes to Gruene and New Braunfels, is the ideal location for this luxury Texas hill country vacation experience! With nearly 1200sqft of livable space, 8Sages*Barn Cottage is the perfect location for a couple’s getaway, a small family stay, or rent as an add-on to the larger 8Sages-Gruene. The heated plunge pool, fire pit, spacious bedrooms and unique designer’s touch are just a few of the amenities that sets this property apart from the rest!
The Barn is a unique relic of architecture. Clad with over 100-year-old wide-plank oak and long leaf pine, it follows a classic gambrel design with tall, vaulted ceilings, barnwood beams and walls, with black steel accents. The barn is located within 8Sages-Gruene, a large estate located just across the Guadalupe River from the center of historic Gruene. Positioned within the gated property, the barn remains a private sanctuary with ample interior and exterior space to feel completely set apart from the estate as a whole. A mere golf cart ride from the heart of New Braunfels and Gruene, this luxury lodge is one of three uniquely designed, stand-alone, private two-bedroom, one bath, offerings complete with heated plunge pools, fire pits, enclosed patios and over 1200 sf each of hill country living. Perfect for couples’ getaways, large enough for small family stays, or rent as add-ons to the larger 3-acre estate of Texas limestone and ancient oaks. Come visit Gruene`s newest and best luxury getaway!
Our location is across the river from the Historic Gruene Hall. Tube the river, shop, dine, have a day/night out with your favorite people, then retreat back to your quiet oasis to watch dozens of deer wandering the property! For those interested in a work- play environment, the owners made special consideration to install a site-wide high-speed Wi-Fi system allowing for unlimited streaming services and communication via social platforms with your loved ones or fellow influencers.
Leather and antique dark wood make this entire property hip, warm and inviting. Upon entry into the barn, you are quickly greeted by 20’ ceilings, wide-plank walls, modern steel and cable stairway, and contemporary furnishings. The antique doors and windows as well as restored beams provide a glimpse into the history of this Texas Barn. Barnwood walls pull you into the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, complete with an oversized fridge, oven and range, kitchen island, plus much more, setting the stage for the chefs in your group to work culinary magic in the heart of the home. The open kitchen/dining/living can comfortably seat up to 8 guests. Cathedral ceilings frame the kitchen, dining & living spaces while the polished concrete floors, bespoke furnishings, and a 55” Smart UHDTV provide a modern aesthetic. Sleek chairs and sofas and 10’ high French doors lead to al fresco dining around your own private plunge pool. Enjoy designer light and noise canceling drapery as well as linen bedding and gel cooled mattresses in all bedrooms for our guests who want to sleep in and start their mornings just a little later while on vacation!

Cute little cottage with all the necessities. The beds were comfortable and the property was cozy and clean. It was very close to Gruene where all the shops and restaurants are located.
Perfect location if your seeing a concert at Gruene hall. Very comfortable and Beautiful decor. The plunge pool is warm and outdoor space is really cute.

Our family stayed 3 nights and we loved it! For 5 of us it was a good size and we loved the pool & fire pit. The host was great and very responsive. We will definitely book another stay next summer

Property was as listed, amenities were nice, pool was refreshing. Short drive to attractions and dining. Kitchen well appointed, bathrooms were clean and very aesthetically appealing. Parking was adequate but tight for 2 big Texas sized trucks.
The barn cottage was so cute. We really enjoyed the plunge pool. The ability to rent a golf cart and have it delivered to the house was a huge bonus. We were able to drive it straight into Gruene. The river is close. The customer service we received was impressive. I loved the shower features that included a hand held sprayer and rain shower head. The decor was very cute. The stairs are steep, but wasn’t a problem. Overall we had a great time and look forward to returning.
We were very excited about our stay here and our quick weekend in Gruene. Unfortunately we ended up with a last minute emergency that forced us to not be able to make our trip as planned and had to cut things short. Definitely not the host's fault. We will be booking the same place as soon as we are able to get our trip scheduled for a do over.
