    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!

    Gruene River Guest House was incredible! The fire pit and umbrella tables by the pool were our favorite. The complete outdoor kitchen was a close second. And the interior was perfect. We actually walked down to the river the second day. We could not have expected or hoped for anything more.

    I stayed here one night to celebrate my birthday and wish I had stayed the whole weekend! This is an amazing property, the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s even more beautiful in person. The hosts were so nice and responsive, we will definitely be back!

    Great property on the river! The only hang up I have is that for the cleaning fee that was charged through VRBO. There was a lot of cleaning that requested to be done from the people that rented it. If you're going to pay such an exuberant cleaning fee there should be nothing that you do as a guest. Just for future reference.
