Here is some additional information about our Gruene River House and Cabin on the Guadalupe to help with planning:

Our Gruene River House and Cabin is located within the Gruene Historic District only 0.4 miles up-river from the Gruene Road Bridge that crosses over the Guadalupe River, providing access to the Gruene Old Town Center of the Gruene Historic District - with famous Gruene Hall, the Gristmill Restaurant, and many more shops, restaurants, and entertainment possibilities. If Walking from our Property, the Gruene Historic District is less than a Mile!

Our Secluded Custom-Built Gruene River House and Cabin on the Guadalupe River, is located on a Heavily-Wooded 1-Acre Property in the Gruene Historic District, on a beautiful 140-Foot Span of the Guadalupe Riverfront. Over 100 Feet of Decks and Patio Spaces are available with the Large Upstairs Deck, and an equally Large Shaded Downstairs Patio, both of which overlook the Guadalupe River with an unobstructed view of the Heavily-Treed Riverbanks and Undeveloped Cliff-Sides.

The Large Riverfront Yard is shaded by huge Cypress, Pecan, Cedar Elm, Monterrey Oak, and Live Oak trees, and is perfect for outdoor gatherings, especially with the Group Seating Areas and the Large Stone Fire-Ring (Firewood and Fire-Starters Provided and plenty of lightweight Adirondack Chairs for gathering around). We have Outdoor Dining Areas, both on the Upper Deck and the Lower Patio, with 3 Tables and 16 Chairs. There are also Lightweight Adirondack Chairs stacked on the Downstairs Patio that can be moved anywhere, including the yard, table-side, and even into the shallows of the Guadalupe River for cooling off.

A Large Combination Off-Set Grill/Smoker is located on the Downstairs Patio, facing the Guadalupe River, with Self-Starting Charcoal, Firewood, Barbecue Tools, and plenty of Spices and Rubs provided. Additionally, a Large Propane Grill is located on the Upper Deck, facing the Guadalupe River and closest to the Kitchen, with an Extra Propane Tank (under the Kitchen Sink), Barbecue Tools, and a Full Spice Rack in the Kitchen.

We offer plenty of Water Recreation Equipment, including 4 Kayaks w/Paddles and Life-Vests (2 - three person, 1 - two person, and 1 - 1 person Kayaks, for a total of 9 on the water simultaneously), Inner-Tubes, Float Noodles, various Yard Games, Fishing Poles, and Tackle. If your Group is interested in River Recreation Activities, you'll be particularly interested in reading further. We have a unique Float Trip Service that is ideal for large groups, and it's not only extremely convenient, but it actually reduces the cost of approaching the River Outfitters yourselves and organizing your own trip!

The Gruene River Cabin has been completely updated, since it's original construction as a 1940's Guadalupe River Fishing Cabin, the only structure originally present on the property that was deeded by German Immigrants in the late 1800's. This is a favorite with our Guests interested in a bit of peace & quiet, secluded from the rest of their group in the Gruene River House.

To get you started with your plans, here is some fun information about the immediate area where our Property is located:

"Float Trip to the Backyard". This is the most Scenic and Convenient Float Trip available. We have special arrangements with a Local River Outfitter for Personalized Curbside Service to our Property, avoiding lines, parking, and fees. Our Outfitter comes to our Property and takes Guests Up-River in a Private Van with all the pre-arranged equipment and coolers, to a selection of starting-points, providing for a 4, 6, or 8-hour Float Trip. The Float Trip ends in our Backyard, where the River Outfitter staff will collect the equipment. Since we send so many Groups to the Outfitters, they convey a unique discount directly to our Guests, as a courtesy. The location of the Gruene River House and Cabin, will enable you take a Float Trip that begins and ends in Comal County, and IS NOT affected by the restrictive City of New Braunfels River Ordinances, related to disposable cans and drink containers, cooler sizes, etc.

We hope this information helps to plan an enjoyable stay with us, and are certain that your Group be able to take advantage of our amazing location, and our comfortable accommodations, and that you'll be left with some vivid memories of your Vacation on the Guadalupe River in Gruene!
