Gruene River Hotel & Retreat

The owners were exceptionally hospitable and accommodating. Felt like you were staying with close friends or family. The breakfasts were well above the usual hotel breakfasts. Some of the best I've had anywhere. We plan to return

Breakfast was awesome and staff was exceptional and freindly

My husband and I visit Gruene a couple times a year for a weekend getaway. We normally stay at another hotel, but we had issues with them the past two visits, and after checking reviews, decided to try Gruene River Hotel. I am so glad we did. The hotel is a real gem and has true personality! Each room has its own theme, and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. If the weather is not good, there is a game room, porches, and balconies with tables, chairs, rockers, and couches. Gruene attractions, such as the Hall, restaurants, and shops, are within easy walking distance. During the day treats, water, coffee, and tea were available in the lobby. In the evening there were a couple selections of wines and beers and snacks avaliable. Breakfast was included with a variety of pastries, fruit, and hot foods that vary each day. One morning they served scrambled eggs with ham. I don't eat pork, and the cook offered to make eggs for me without the ham. Such hospitality! We stayed in the Shady Lady room, which is decorated like a late 19th century boudoir. The room was very clean, and the bed comfortable. I think we found a new favorite hotel for Gruene and are looking forward to staying again.

Adorable property, I loved how close to everything it was, I walked to dinner every night.

This property is beautifully maintained along the Guadalupe River. The staff member who worked on Saturday evening was exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Happy Hour featured wine, beer, and a variety of snacks. The breakfast was absolutely delightful and included in our stay. The location is perfect, walking distance to shops, Gristmill, Gruene Hall. I truly appreciated the thoughtful touches that made this place stand out! We will definitely return! (Adult only property)

It’s Adult only, but we understand!! It was nice and quiet!!
