This home has river access and is just a short walk to Gruene. Our houses and property are minimally furnished to allow greater enjoyment for the outdoors and simplistic lifestyle. Three bedrooms , two full bathrooms, a full kitchen and living room with a large screen T.V. Outside you can enjoy sitting on the covered porch while looking down the lawn at the flowing river.

We try to rent this house every year. It has a beautiful yard with a big porch, great location and just the perfect little place to stay. We love our time on the river!
We came for the Fourth of July to float the river and this was the perfect location! Close to everything and just the perfect amount of seclusion from the city! We loved the beautiful deer visiting us and we will for sure be booking here again!
Our whole group enjoyed the stay very much
The view and the access to the river were a major plus and the houses were above our expectation as far as tidiness.
Will definitely come back. Location is great!
We had a great time staying here! Close to entertainment and small water rapids. The AC did freeze up on our last night but the owner came immediately and got it working again. Great back porch and view! The owner responded to messages very quickly and was helpful. Thanks for a great stay!
Really need more dishes and coffee mugs, for the price should have sheets and towels.
It was a great cozy house with a beautiful location, and view of the river. Many deer show up at dawn.Overall we had a great weekend

Quiet location. Walking distance to Gruene. Comfortable beds. Wonderful place for a girlfriends geta
This property was clean and well maintained. Beds where very comfortable. The kitchen has all the items we needed. The back porch was a wonderful place to sit talk and enjoy the wildlife that roam through the yard at night.
This property is located within walking distance to downtown Gruene.
I will definitely be staying here again
We've stayed here 2 years in a row. Love the deer roaming the property while having coffee in the morning on the covered back porch. River is a short walk down the backyard. We walked to dinner in Gruene and to Rockin R Bar. Its very quite here with no neighbors right on top of you. Good times, we'll be back next year!

Wonderful Location. Wonderful Home!
We had an amazing weekend at this location. It was a few couples of close friends and the accommodations of this rental were fabulous. No one felt smothered or on top of one another the entire weekend. The house was clean & in perfect location to both the river & downtown Gruene. Thank you!!
This was our 4th year staying here and we had a great time as always. Everything was clean, air conditioning works great! Beds are comfortable. We never got bit by mosquitoes day or night and never used bug spray. We lit a fire with the logs they already had chopped up. We used the barrel charcoal grill to cook steaks for dinner. It's as close to Gruene as you can get, walking distance. 👍👍 We'll definitely be back next year.

Wonderful Place
This cabin is the perfect location! We hung out on the property and swam in the river located in the backyard. We were able to walk to the toob rentals for floating and Gruene is within walking distance as well. This property is a must if you want to get away from city traffic and just enjoy nature and the river. But it’s close enough to your basic stores (Walmart, target, HEB) if you need to make a run for an item.
Jamie and Lee were especially helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is in great shape and accommodated our group of 6 comfortably.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is great!! VERY near the heart of Gruene. Seven of us stayed and had plenty of room. Not a large house but very functional. Had everything we needed. Nice large bedrooms. The living areas are bigger than they look in the pictures. The lawn in back of the house is very large and has lots of huge trees. Beautiful. Lots of deer too! There are two picnic tables and a fire pit right near the river. The river directly in front of the house was kind of still but within 50 yards are some rapids and then a great swimming area. All walking distance.
If you are looking for luxury, this may not be the place for you because the house is older and the furniture is basic but everything functioned well and was clean. Also note that you have to provide your own sheets and towels. If you are looking for a great location with a house with enough room, clean, well stocked, on the river with a large covered deck and a great outside area, this would be a great fit for you! We would definitely stay again!!
Great little house very clean great frint porch with picnic table [Bring chairs]
Nice picnic table and pit down by water. Overall i would definitely stay here again.
The location and river are amazing! The house is not elaborate but is clean and the beds sleep well. I do feel that it is a little high priced for having to provide all linens, towels, wash rags, etc.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were very understanding when we had a last minute addition of a dog joining us, as well as when another of our friends showed up with a second dog unannounced (I was pretty ticked at those friends myself). The porch was the best part of the house (we're outdoor people), and the ability to chunky dunk from the private river access at night is a huge plus.
Truly enjoyed our stay would definitely do it again
