This 3/2 cabin lies on a large, open spaced property that gives the impression of being in the country while being only a short walk to historic Gruene. You can hear the water flowing over the rapids and see the Gruene water tower lit at night. Deer make it a habit to stroll across the large lawn and graze when the sun goes down. This home has river access and is literally just above the rapids near the Gruene bridge. Our cabin is minimally, but comfortably furnished. The appeal to staying on our property is easy access to nature with huge trees, wildlife and a simplistic lifestyle. The covered porch offers a comfortable space to gather for meals, games, or just a quiet moment. The deposit will hold the reservation. Payment in-full is due 28 days prior to arrival. Travelers who cancel at least 60 days before check-in will receive a refund or credit for another reservation to be used within one year.

The house is in an excellent location right next to Gruene and the river. The check in and check out process was super smooth and Jaime handled all of our questions and requests quickly and without issue. Highly recommended. We would definitely stay here again.

We love to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay. 😁 We welcome you back when you’re in the area again.
We've stayed at this location a few summers and love the location. Good place to hang out and enjoy the scenery. Tons of deer just hanging out day and night. Always clean and everything works. We'll be back.
We came for the Fourth of July to float the river and this was the perfect location! Close to everything and just the perfect amount of seclusion from the city! We loved the beautiful deer visiting us and we will for sure be booking here again!

Our whole group enjoyed the stay very much
The view and the access to the river were a major plus and the houses were above our expectation as far as tidiness.
Will definitely come back. Location is great!

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that we exceeded your expectations. We look forward to having you again.
The setting is incredible, near enough to hear the music coming from across the river and to walk over to the shops and restaurants but sitting on the porch looking out at the huge pecan trees and the deer grazing, hearing the rapids below-one feels pure peace and privacy.Three generations for a long weekend was heavenly. We all loved it. The Hosts are very available and helpful. They made us feel so comfortable and at home. Beds are comfy, furnshings simple and just what is needed.
We had a great time staying here! Close to entertainment and small water rapids. The AC did freeze up on our last night but the owner came immediately and got it working again. Great back porch and view! The owner responded to messages very quickly and was helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

Quiet location. Walking distance to Gruene. Comfortable beds. Wonderful place for a girlfriends geta
This property was clean and well maintained. Beds where very comfortable. The kitchen has all the items we needed. The back porch was a wonderful place to sit talk and enjoy the wildlife that roam through the yard at night.
This property is located within walking distance to downtown Gruene.
I will definitely be staying here again

We sure enjoyed having you as guests at Captain's Quarters. We hope you'll visit again.
Really need more dishes and coffee mugs, for the price should have sheets and towels.
It was a great cozy house with a beautiful location, and view of the river. Many deer show up at dawn.Overall we had a great weekend

Wonderful Location. Wonderful Home!
We had an amazing weekend at this location. It was a few couples of close friends and the accommodations of this rental were fabulous. No one felt smothered or on top of one another the entire weekend. The house was clean & in perfect location to both the river & downtown Gruene. Thank you!!
We've stayed here 2 years in a row. Love the deer roaming the property while having coffee in the morning on the covered back porch. River is a short walk down the backyard. We walked to dinner in Gruene and to Rockin R Bar. Its very quite here with no neighbors right on top of you. Good times, we'll be back next year!
The house itself was okay and easy access to shopping in Gruene but access to the river was not good. It’s was covered in green moss and a big huge log was a problem as well. We were disappointed because the whole reason we chose this place was the river access, not worth the cost.
You will need to bring your own linens, don't expect a fully prepared place.
Location was perfect for our outing however.

Wonderful Place
This cabin is the perfect location! We hung out on the property and swam in the river located in the backyard. We were able to walk to the toob rentals for floating and Gruene is within walking distance as well. This property is a must if you want to get away from city traffic and just enjoy nature and the river. But it’s close enough to your basic stores (Walmart, target, HEB) if you need to make a run for an item.
Jamie and Lee were especially helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is in great shape and accommodated our group of 6 comfortably.

We’re so glad y’all enjoyed Captain’s Quarters and had a great stay. We welcome you back again soon.
This was our 4th year staying here and we had a great time as always. Everything was clean, air conditioning works great! Beds are comfortable. We never got bit by mosquitoes day or night and never used bug spray. We lit a fire with the logs they already had chopped up. We used the barrel charcoal grill to cook steaks for dinner. It's as close to Gruene as you can get, walking distance. 👍👍 We'll definitely be back next year.

Thanks for the great review. We’re always glad to hear that our guests enjoy their time at our property. See you next time.
This cozy cabin was exactly how it is listed. It's clean, and the property manager was easy and quick to communicate with (which I always greatly appreciate). Note, you do have to bring all of your own linens, so for us, that wasn't very convenient, but that is communicated before you arrive. One of the showers is extremely small, but was fine for the weekend we were there. The back porch was nice and we saw deer, squirrels and hawks up close. The cabin sits off of the Guadelupe River and you can walk down to the river's edge with access to a fire pit & picnic tables. We had a great time at the cozy cabin and were overall very pleased.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie and Lee Ezell
Our property is on five acres with river frontage, has been in the family for over 30 years, and is within walking distance to Gruene. We offer a simplistic atmosphere with the outdoors and location being the attraction. We offer our guests a clean, comfortable cabin that provides all you need to enjoy a stay away from home. We are excited to be able to offer families the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Guadalupe River and to have easy access to the fun and entertainment that Gruene, TX has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Our location is prime! We are centrally located in Gruene/New Braunfels which is equal distance to Austin and San Antonio. We have river access just above the rapids at the Gruene Bridge and easy walking to Gruene for great dining and shopping. Our location is perfect for summer activities and yet offers a lovely setting for the fall and winter months.
