Perfect hideaway.
We loved our stay. The treeehouse was super clean. Great floor plan and very comfortable. Despite the heat, the AC kept us cool and we loved sitting out in the deck. We were minutes from town and Gruene Hall. We appreciated the cozy decor and amnenties included as well.

Very cozy Tree House Nest
This was my gift to my wife, a quick get away. it was her birthday and we didn't have much time to go too far. But I wanted to do something different. This little cozy Tree House nest was the perfect place to get away. it was indeed everything they said it would be. Gruene is the drawing card, but where to stay overnight and make it delightful. This was the Place. Close to everything, shopping, places for Breakfast, Dinner for two, cozy place to sit and watch life go by. Thumbs up.

Great place! Great hosts!
This is such a beautiful place! The hosts are wonderful and a lot of fun! We really enjoyed visiting with them! The treehouse is a few minutes from downtown Gruene. But is quiet and peaceful. Lots of deer and beautiful trees everywhere’ If you are looking for a place to stay with privacy and disconnection, this is it. The treehouse is on the hosts property, but you rarely see them. We chose to have lots of fun conversation with them and loved visiting with them as they are just precious people! This will be our “go to” place each time we come back to visit the beautiful hill country.

We loved our stay in Gruene Treehouse. It was nicely decorated and only a few minutes from many places we wanted to visit. It’s tucked inside a quiet neighborhood where deer roam freely. Coffee on the elevated porch was such a relaxing start to our days. The AC was great and we loved the coffee and snacks between our many dining options. The Gristmill, Gruene Hall, and Cosmic Plant Co. were some of our favorites in the area.

Why they chose this property

We (Greg and Kathleen) feel very blessed to live here! Our neighborhood is a quiet niche very near the Guadalupe River. We named our place River Haven because it has never flooded even though we are so close to the river. There is no public access to the Guadalupe in our neighborhood, which is common to private property areas in our city and county (Comal), however, we are half a mile to the closest public access and 1 mile to Gruene Hall in the heart of Gruene, Texas.

What makes this property unique

Our property is almost an acre in size, just outside the New Braunfels city limits, but only 1 mile from Gruene Hall! The location is close to things we enjoy....walks into Gruene, walks in Landa Park and our neighborhood, sitting by the river, restaurants, live music, church, shopping and grandchildren! We enjoy lots of green grass, trees and wildlife here.
