Had a great time in Gruene and at the Garrison in Gruene. The room, pool area and grounds were great. I could see this as a great place to rent for a family reunion. Lots to do onsite and within walking distance of our room. Kid friendly with lots of yard games.

Stayed here while attending a wedding, very much true Texas atmosphere with lots of character and rustic decor. I enjoyed drinking coffee and polishing my cowboy boots on the large front porch with plenty of swings. It was quiet enough with grassy areas to take our skiddish dogs out on a leash and very peaceful at night. Super convenient to everything in Greune and New Braunfels. Would stay again!

Thank you so much, Paul, for your heartfelt review of your stay at Garrison in Gruene! We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the rustic Texas decor and the spacious bedroom. It's our pleasure to provide responsive management and maintain clean grounds and units for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back as repeat visitors!
Pleasantly surprised by the uniqueness of our room. Also, it was much more roomy than I was expecting. The only “complaint” was we only had one bath towel upon arriving. I contacted Allison and she had it fixed right away. The property had a really nice pool. I did wonder about the swim up bar. It looked really nice but it was completely locked and didn’t appear anyone was using it. I was confused by that. The property was very quiet and peaceful. It is GREAT location to anything you would want to do in Gruene. Overall I would recommend and stay again!

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Alisha! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the uniqueness and spaciousness of The Judge's Chamber, as well as the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of Garrison in Gruene. We apologize for the initial oversight with the bath towels and are glad we could quickly resolve it. Regarding the swim-up bar, it had previously had bartender service on select dates; however, guests may now bring their own drinks to enjoy. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the pool and the convenient location. We look forward to welcoming you back to Gruene soon!
