About this property

Tube, swim, relax, and enjoy the Guadalupe River ~ near Historic Gruene.

This is one of two homes on this large, open spaced piece of property. There's plenty of room to spread out and feel like you're in the country. 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 just a short walk to Gruene. Our houses and property are minimally furnished to allow greater enjoyment for the outdoors and simplistic lifestyle. Three bedrooms , two full bathrooms, a full kitchen and living room with a large screen T.V. Outside you can enjoy sitting on the covered porch while looking down the lawn at the flowing river. 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.

GuadaLoco Boys #9

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.

Very Helpful Owner!

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!

Annual Guadaloco Boys Toobin Trip

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!

Great view

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

The location and river are amazing! The house is not elaborate but is clean and the beds sleep well. I do feel that it is a little high priced for having to provide all linens, towels, wash rags, etc.

Surprisingly perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were very understanding when we had a last minute addition of a dog joining us, as well as when another of our friends showed up with a second dog unannounced (I was pretty ticked at those friends myself). The porch was the best part of the house (we're outdoor people), and the ability to chunky dunk from the private river access at night is a huge plus.

AWESOME LOCATION WITH LOTS OF DEER

The deer was my favorite part of the entire stay, everyday ALL day they were right at your porch just relaxing and enjoying themselves. The little baby deer were so cute. The beds were comfortable, AC worked amazing, the house we perfect and the location was incredible. We will be back for sure and will rent this house again. Walking distance to Gruene and Rockin R tube rental. THANK YOU.

Great location…. Had everything we needed!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is great!! VERY near the heart of Gruene. Seven of us stayed and had plenty of room. Not a large house but very functional. Had everything we needed. Nice large bedrooms. The living areas are bigger than they look in the pictures. The lawn in back of the house is very large and has lots of huge trees. Beautiful. Lots of deer too! There are two picnic tables and a fire pit right near the river. The river directly in front of the house was kind of still but within 50 yards are some rapids and then a great swimming area. All walking distance. If you are looking for luxury, this may not be the place for you because the house is older and the furniture is basic but everything functioned well and was clean. Also note that you have to provide your own sheets and towels. If you are looking for a great location with a house with enough room, clean, well stocked, on the river with a large covered deck and a great outside area, this would be a great fit for you! We would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful property!

Loved this house. I was there for Spring Break with my teenage son and several of his friends. The boys and I had a great time. They were able to walk to town and enjoy Gruene. We used the BBQ Pitt and fire pit and brought our own corn hole set and other outdoor games. Bring your own trash bags, soap, paper towels and toilet paper. We will rent this house again for sure! Thank you!!!

Family fun

This is a great rental for family or friends gathering. We had 2 families with a total of 10 people stay here and there was plenty of room. The waterfront was prefect to anchor your tube and chill. Owners take great care of the landscape too. This is a prefect getaway to enjoy the outdoors.
