Labor Day family fun.
The house was perfect for our family. Lots of privacy for everyone and lots of family together space at the same time. Loved kayaking and floating in the river. We all want to come back.

River resort
All of our friends/family want to go back! It's a really cool old house by the river with plenty of space for yard games. Plus having the river right there with so many kayaks and tubes to use is a huge plus to the property. The owners are super nice as well.

50th Anniversary Celebration
We arrived on Sunday afternoon & departed on Friday morning after a week of fun filled activities, ie, both local to the area as well as via the property itself, as they provide river tubes, kayaks, fire pit, hot-tub, bbq pits, plenty of outdoor spaces for visiting, gaming, etc! We had 18 in our party ranging in age from 7-to-72 which this property housed perfectly with 9 bedrooms & 6.5 bathrooms! We cooked indoors & outdoors everyday thus there's 2 refrigerators + all the pots & pans provided and full dishwasher & soap. They also had 2 full-size washers & dryers with soap & dryer sheets! Lynnae & Jeff were great property managers prior to arrival, during and after, as they responded to our requests via email, phone & texts! The property is well located just minutes from downtown Gruene & New Braunfels which both provide great shopping & restaurant opportunities! The house itself has 3 levels with 3 bedrooms on the ground/main level & 4 upstairs & 2 downstairs! Also...there's a tv located outside on the patio as well in all bedrooms & den! They also have a dvd player + movies available in the den! Overall? Great week at the Gruene River Haven!👍👍👍

60/40 Celebration
We gathered 14 girl family members to celebrate a sister turning 60 and a daughter turning 40. The Gruene River Haven was the perfect place for this celebration. I can’t say enough about Lynnae and Jeff. They responded immediately to any of my questions prior to our arrival. Their communications were outstanding. I am so thankful that they met us at the house to show us around and aquaint us with the property. The house has ample gathering spots for conversations and fellowship. The kitchen was fully outfitted with dishes enough for all. Linens from beds to towels were lovely. We had a wonderful time and will be talking about it for months to come. Thank you !

Nice Owners
Family stayed for wedding which was in Gruene. Look at pictures carefully! House is really not suited for elderly people due to steep stairs, uneven floors, and most bathrooms had shower/tub combo which is hard to get into. Good views from many rooms, well stocked kitchen, 2 refrigerators (but one in kitchen had many cracked shelves), and outdoor space was very nice!

Wonderful Family Christmas
Our extended family of 15 adults celebrated an early Christmas and were floored at the beautiful view and outdoor space at this property. Although the kitchen is very small, we took turns cooking and there was tons of space to eat, play games, watch TV, and just enjoy spending time together. The view of the river is amazing! Were visited by deer each morning and evening as we hung out on the patio and deck. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms that allowed us to spread out. Very short commute to downtown Gruene for shopping.

Great location on the river, close to Gruene
We had a group of 15 people for the Wurstfest nearby in New Braunfels. The house had enough bedrooms to accommodate all the couples privately. Kitchen was well stocked, but a little tight. There were also several living areas which allowed us to break into groups. The outside was great, with plenty of covered area which was appreciated due to the rain. The gas heaters were also appreciated. Parking was OK, we got 7 full sized vehicles. Lots of deer roaming the neighborhood, so be careful driving.

Perfect Spot for a Bachelorette!
This was the perfect spot to celebrate a bachelorette party in New Braunfels! We had a group of 18 girls that was able to sleep comfortably on this property. It’s so difficult to find a place where adults can have their own space (not in a bunk room that sleeps 10+ people), and this house delivers! Everyone felt like they got their money’s worth with this stay. The outside area was beautiful and perfect for an outdoor dinner (we did hibachi at the house). We were also so happy there were enough tubes for us to cool off in the river in this Texas heat! We’ll definitely be staying here for our next girls’ trip in New Braunfels!!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Gruene River Haven. We had 14, various ages and interests. They enjoyed the dock, the river and the hot tub. Lots of rooms, sort of quirky vintage but everything was really nice. Beautiful yard with deer visitors.

A Slice of Heaven
This property was inviting, peaceful, easy to visit with each other, shady cooling extra hot days, and acommadated a large family well. The water was mostly private and like a lake. Our family usually stay at the beach, but now they chose this place over the beach. I can not say enough good about the owners. They were wonderful!

Great place!
We rented this house for my 50th birthday celebration and it was perfect. Lots of room for everyone and you can’t beat the location. The river is deep in front on the house/dock and there were plenty of floats and kayaks for us to use. Some sweet deer came to visit and we saw a large variety of birds. The green spaces are well manicured and there is plenty of room and seating outside as well as in. We would definitely stay here again.

I held a company business retreat for two days at this beautiful property. Plenty of beds for everyone to have their own bed. Nice separated areas and lots of room for collaboration with teams. The setting is gorgeous on the beautiful Guadalupe river. In the morning drinking coffee, beautiful birds, herons deer and incredible views highly recommend the property for a family outing, or like ours a company business owners were very friendly and very accommodating

Graduation 2023- AWESOME!
Perfect house for large gatherings. Ours was for Texas State 2023, family in from all over. Lynnae and Jeff were great, responded to all questions and issues within minutes. I will say that the driveway is the only negative, it is very steep and if raining becomes rather slippery. BACK DOWN need running start back up! Overall you can't go wrong renting this house. Thanks again Lynnae and Jeff- your house made my daughters graduation weekend COMPLETE!

Great Stay!
This was a great house for our group of 9 adults. Your heart might skip a beat going down the steep driveway :-), but the weather was great so there were no issues. House has all the amenities (inside and outside) necessary for a good time. If you have less than perfect knees, be sure to stay in one of the 3 bedrooms on the main level--but the house is lovely. Lynnae and Jeff were very responsive to our texts and were the perfect hosts. We would definitely visit again!

Memorable Trip
The location and view of the river is gorgeous! We enjoyed all the outdoor activities. Guests should be aware that parking is a problem and the driveway is VERY steep! We had a blast because we are family and know each very well, but some rooms have been reconfigured to add more space so guests have to walk through one room to get to the other. It wouldn’t work well for all groups. We definitely enjoyed our family wedding weekend and are grateful for a place to gather.
