Gruene River Guest House - High & Dry On The River

The Gruene River Guest House is a great location to experience all that the New Braunfels & Gruene area have to offer. Situated on 5 beautiful acres of open green space with 300 feet of Guadalupe River frontage it is the perfect location for family reunions, corporate events, small intimate weddings or any group gathering of up to 20 people. The Gruene River Guest House features 4 separate guest suites with 5 bedrooms which sleep 20 in total each with their own private entrance, smart TV and individual AC/Heat. The outdoor Cantina consist of a large covered kitchen and dining area with a huge propane grill, stove burners, ice machine, refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, microwave and sink. It has a 70" large screen outdoor smart TV, bluetooth enabled sound bar, multiple hot weather fans, cold weather propane patio heater, propane fired fire table, a 10 foot long raw edge cedar plank bar and a wide array of lighting. A wood/charcoal smoker is also available. There is a large deck shaded with large old oak and pecan trees with a Saluspa Hot Tub available with a $20 preparation fee and last but not least a beautiful private swimming pool. Along the river front there are huge ancient cypress trees towering over a private river landing for toobing, kayaking, fishing, or just hanging out in the river. Toobs and kayaks are available for guest use. Also, there is a walkway down to a shaded shallow area just in front of rapids perfect for little ones or lawn chairs in the water. There is a beautiful Gazebo perfect for a romantic riverside wedding or picnic by the rapids. In the open 5 acres there is a volleyball net and a 5 hole disc golf course. Also, there is a volleyball net for the swimming pool and an outdoor ping pong table. A golf cart is available for rent for $50/day to tool around the property and allow easy access to the river. On summer weekends multiple Guest House water cannons shoot water into the air at the riverfront to cool passing by toobers. All in all something for everybody!

Lynnae met us at the property and gave us a tour. She was an amazing host! It was our son’s wedding weekend and he and his groomsmen shared the Paris room, jumped in the river, and enjoyed the pool! My husband and I loved the Texas room and watching all the fun! Located so close to downtown Gruene and the wedding at The Chandelier. A perfect property for our weekend!

Gruene Grass

Lovely home, beautiful outside area! Loved the outdoor kitchen and pool area!Golf cart was great to get down to the river… Because the weather was not perfect at all times, it was difficult getting from one room to the main room/kitchen since not all of the rooms connect through the house. we had a great time in Gruene! Thanks for a lovey stay!
