Great Host and Top-Notch Property! OUTSTANDING!

This facility was a place to stay to attend a family event in NB. Easy access to center of activities for NB events and close to restaurants. We did not do any major cooking, but a well-prepared outdoor grill was available and in great shape had we chose to do so. The kitchen was well stocked with clean cooking utensils. Physical house arraignment was perfect for our large group and the view of the river was outstanding. We plan to use this property in the future. Great find!!!

We had a wonderful time celebrating 3 birthdays in Gruene. The home was very clean and comfortable. Bobby was very accommodating. The views of the river are incredible-very serene. I enjoyed watching the deer in the backyard in the early morning. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Not completely as listed

The listing showed 3+ bathrooms so we assumed the bathrooms would be in the house. We found that one of the bathrooms was completely separate outside the house. So there were 3 bedrooms sharing 1.5 bathrooms. Not ideal for our group. The view was amazing.

Annual Gruene Trip

We take a mini-vacation in Gruene ever year. This has by far been the best place we have ever stayed. The house was perfect for our needs. We spent most of our time out on the huge deck and down by the river. The grounds were immaculately kept and the view is top notch. Impossible to capture the view with a photo. Bobby was a great host.

Gruene on the Guadalupe

Nine old friends reunited to enjoy Los Lobos at Gruene Hall and watch the eclipse by the river. The porch sitting was the best, plenty of wildlife sightings, and the trees... The live oaks over the porch plus the big river cypress were beyond beautiful. The deck by the water was really good. Bobby was a great host. Bonus: we were able to Uber in to Gruene for the show (and back). Peaceful for sleeping, the house is solid and quiet. Would re-book most definitely! A beautiful site.

Perfection!

This is the most beautiful property! We had 10 women in our group and there was plenty of room for all of us! The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening meals. The steps that led into the water made it easy for all of us to enjoy the Guadalupe. We loved watching the deer roam the property every morning and every evening. Gruene and the Rockin R river outfitters are just minutes away. We loved it so much and didn't want to leave. Bobby was a great host!

First off the property is beautiful. Trees, wildlife and easy access to the river with a nicely built concrete ledge and stairs. The family loved every day of our vacation. The house offered so much space and was very clean. The owner was accommodating and very attentive. We will definitely keep this property on our list of vacation spots!!
