Serene Atmosphere
The property is immaculate. The availability of kayaks and tubes made this getaway so enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils to make big meals. The proximity to town was great. We enjoyed soaking in the sun on the river rock bed. Our hosts were very attentive.

Amazing House On The River
We had a great time at the Gruene River House and Cabin. The house is amazing, with great view of the water. Has everything you need. We were quite surprised to actually find a large pot, for our soup. That alone gets a 5 star. We could not have asked for a better location. House has a great layout. Plenty of room for everyone. Chris was awesome, he was quick to answer any of our questions and respond to our needs. We will most definitely be back again.

Magical place
We stayed here for a “ sisters’ weekend “. It was so comfortable and enjoyable and the view was magical. It felt like you were miles away from everything but getting to town was so easy and convenient. The kitchen was SO well stocked. The hosts responded immediately with any questions we had! I highly recommend this lovely retreat.

Family get together
We had a family get together and enjoyed our stay. The last day we were there though we could not get out of the driveway because it was misting and the steep driveway was wet and our vehicles were sliding. We were able to get a tow truck to help us out.

Great river house with amazing location
One of the best houses to stay in I've seen on the river in the Gruene area. So close to the towns while also beign right on the river for a dose of nature. Loved this place!

Great stay with everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The only issue was the large trash bins were located inside the Rec Room where guests was sleeping and after day 2 the room stayed to smell with all the household trash that had been put in the bins. Just a suggestion to have those trash bins located outside, so guests don't have the smell. Otherwise the house and all that came with it was great. All guests enjoyed our stay.

Great House and Location
What a great property. Lots of rooms and the game room was a hit for getting away from the heat. Home was well stocked and supplied with all the essentials. We were not lacking anything. The tubes and other water crafts were perfect and made it easier than bringing our own. The children loved the closet beds off their parents room. There are four bedrooms in the main house and two open areas as additional sleeping space. The outside cabin makes 5 private rooms. Bathrooms are needing to be shared with the guests in the open areas. Wasn’t a huge problem for us.

Family Reunion on the Guadalupe
Our stay was perfect. The house was clean, very well stocked including paper plates,cups, etc. We cooked multiple meals in the kitchen for 28 people easily. The listing shows cubby single bedrooms which might seem strange but they were a hit! The lawn, river access and supplied floats and kayaks were well used! Hosts were very responsive to emails, questions etc. The house being minutes from Gruene was a bonus!

Great Family Reunion Accomodation
The home has an amazing view of the river. We had frequent visits from two ducks and numerous deer in the yard. We rented the main house plus the small side house, which was a perfect (quiet) retreat for my elderly mom. The house accommodated our large family gathering and the location was nice with easy access to grocery, retail, and Buc-ees 😉. The town of Gruene (pronounced "green") is very close by and worth visiting the restaurants and shops. The homeowners are very responsive and welcoming.

Great location for a multiple family gathering!
We loved out stay! The setup of the home was perfect for our three families with 5 kids, and it easily and comfortably could have slept plenty more - There are 3 main bedrooms all with their own bathrooms and multiple other bedrooms & private sleeping spaces throughout the home. It was right on the river and the kids enjoyed fishing in the morning & seeing the deer up close in the evening. The pictures do not do the layout of the house justice. Very clean, and the owners were very responsive & helpful. The home was stocked with everything we would need, and the kids enjoyed having their own game room with TV & bumper pool when the adults were having a gathering in the main part of the house. The location on the river would have been perfect if it was warm outside as there was a large stretch of river visible by the house to kayak on. A nice neighborhood that was quiet but not secluded. A steep driveway was our only concern, but even with wet roads we had no problems navigating it. We highly recommend this home! Thank you for the nice stay!

Great large family house
We truly enjoyed staying here. Location was beautiful and the house was well appointed. The one and only drawback was that there was not a common bathroom. The bathrooms were all in the bedrooms or in the rec room which we used as a bedroom for the teenagers. The queen bedroom didn’t have a bedroom of its own or a common one that did not require going into an area where others were sleeping. We made it work but just something to keep in mind. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The living space was a great size for games and visiting. Beds were comfy. And the view from the backyard was wonderful. All in all this was a great place for a family get together! Highly recommended it!

Beauty on the Guadalupe
This property was everything we hoped it would be. Plenty of room for all the adults to spread out for sleeping. The whole place was well stocked with every thing you need for a carefree get away for a large group. We especially loved the abundance of paper goods in the kitchen so we could avoid doing dishes on vacay. The view of the river off the back porch is spectacular. Communication with the host was timely & very responsive to any questions we had. It was perfect for our Wurstfest/Gruene weekend.

What a beautiful property
I cannot begin to explain how much we enjoyed our stay! The view to the river was spectacular! The location was close to everything! The house was stocked with all necessities and then some. It was so organized, and we didn’t have to go searching for anything. It was very spacious and clean. The best part was how pleasant the homeowner was. They responded quickly and accommodated all our requests. We will definitely be coming back. It was a most relaxing weekend!

This property is incredible! The house is beautiful - there is so much space, and so many rooms. We loved being right on the river, and honestly didn’t even feel the need to go float anywhere. Chris and Johanna have everything you need for your stay - seriously! Linens, pillows, paper cups/plates, coffee, etc. it really made the stay easy. The game room was fun (we made up our own rules :)Definitely would love to come back. Also, there were a couple of deer families that came by. We loved it! Thank you!!

Take time to enjoy the relaxing setting this place offers - enjoy the house and the river.
Unexpected amenities. Bathrooms well stocked, kitchen stocked with coffee, spices, and paperware (a lot of paperware - we way over bought for what was waiting on us). The house is in great shape, clean, and very comfortable. Plan a week or a long weekend to enjoy the river in the backyard. The two large refrigerators were wonderful for all our needs. The location couldn't have been more perfect - 7 minutes to floating the rivers, shopping or enjoying Gruene, or going down the waterslides at Schlitterbahn. If if just a getaway from everything is what you are looking for, this is the place - you can just park your car and enjoy the house and its offering.

This property was nothing short of amazing! As we welcomed our son home from his very first deployment in the Navy, we never lacked anything at all. The house was fully stocked, including all the fun accessories for the water. We really enjoyed kayaking and lounging out in the river.

This house was perfect for a relaxing river vacation! There were several tubes, kayaks, and yard furniture to relax in the river and enjoy the water. The house itself had plenty of pots, pans, plates, and utensils that made it easy to cook and clean up. The outfitter they provided the contact information for worked out great as well!! They picked us up at the house and dropped us back off when we were done. I would highly reccomend this house for a river vacation!

This house was great for our annual college family get-together! There were plenty of beds for everyone, although two of the "bedrooms" were the rec room and a hallway/landing area with bunk beds. Otherwise, it's perfect for those who don't mind getting creative for sleeping arrangements!
