GRUENE SLEEPY RIVER HAUS (#24443)

Write a review We had our wedding here in mid June early in the morning (9:30 am). There was no one on the river till after the ceremony and it was so magical. The wildlife added to the ambiance and everyone who attend was amazed at the beauty. The whole experience with the realtor and owner made the transaction and contract signing easy and insured we'd have a wonderful worry free destination wedding. Thank you so much and we can't wait to rent again as words really cannot express our joy of renting this place and the joy we shared with our family and friends here. This house is wonderful! This is the second time we have visited this house and it has been a great experience both times. The house is in a great location, only minutes from Gruene and other attractions. It's a very peaceful stay and would recommend to anyone!! This was our 2nd stay at the River Haus. The house is wonderful and has a beautiful view of the river. We spent most of our time out on the deck enjoying the river. We walked into Gruene one day...good shopping. And had a very nice dinner at the Grist Mill. Other than that, we cooked in. Lots of room in the kitchen. Our kids loved the loft and the big screen TV as well as the rope swing. GRUENE SLEEPY RIVER HAUS was one of the most beautiful vacation homes that we have stayed. When you drive up, you get a beautiful view of the river with rafters floating by. The house was very comfortable and had all of the amenities needed for a great home away from home experience. The kids loved jumping into the river using the rope hanging from the tree. As for the adults, we loved the jacuzzi tub and the barbque area was great. We will return for sure. I cannot say enough about this home and the incredible scenery. The whole purpose of this trip was for our wedding. We have some friends that live just down the street and were planning on getting married on there property on the river. Our stay at the Sleepy River Haus was merely a convenience to our pending nuptials. However, there were some significant rain storms leading up to the event which made the nuptials impossible at our friends property. Plan B was the easiest decision ever. We got married right on the river at the Gruene Sleepy River Haus. The setting was perfect. On the dock, overhanging the river. The yard was a natural ampitheater setting for family that attended. It was perfect!! The house worked perfectly for our blended families of 5 children. Gave them an opportunity to get to know each other and bond. All in all a fabulous home, fabulous location and fabulous setting for everything... As long as you don't mind the steady stream of Guadalupe toobers!! We had a wonderful getaway at your home in New Braunfels. The house was in a great location and very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and come back again. The owners obviously take great pride in this home and it's beautiful grounds. The color of the river is incredible...and the shaded grounds are lush and calming to the soul. The comfort and cleanliness of the house is a particular joy. There is every amentity you could want: updated home, river access, hot tub, fire pit, room to play and all the privacy you need! It's close to historic Gruene, San Marcos, and San Antonio sites...but there is plenty to enjoy without ever leaving the property!! We couldn't have asked for more. We will certainly return again and again. Cool place in a great setting. Walk to Gruene Hall or town square. Can't even see the neighbors through the trees. We will return in the summer to enjoy the river. Only con i can mention pertains only to those who have trouble w/stairs. If someone has trouble in that department, this might not be the best pick. However...for those who don't have trouble......It's great! Very well kept. The acreage of the lot makes it very peaceful and adds to the feeling of truly getting away! If you want the peace and quite of the beautifull hill country but want close to all you could ever want to do this is the place!! We had the best time watching our kids smile as they swung over the guadalupe then letting go of the rope to make a giant splash in the river. The fishing was great, largemouth bass,bream and catfish. Plus at night the hot tub was the best after all the shopping in historic Gruene. I had a hard time deciding what tasted better, the ribeye on the grill you guys have outside or the slow roasted ribs we had at the famous Griss Meal restraunt. The hot tub also came in handy after a night dancing at Texas's oldest dance hall. The house was perfect. The views were great fro every romm and we loved the deer that made their home on your land. If you want a loaded October rent this place, I know we will again. Lida thanks so much. My husband and I recently stayed at this cottage and had such a relaxing time. We sat on the dock and watch the river flow by, and even tried a bit of fishing. At night we went to the Gruene Music Hall and had a great time dancing. The house is such a short distance from Gruene it made it very convenient for shopping and exploring. What I loved the most about this cottage, however, were the grounds...the privacy and the relaxing sound of the river. We highly recommend staying here and hope to return in the late Fall for another getaway ! This was my family's 2'nd summer to stay at this wonderful home on the river. The kids loved pitching their tent on the spacious grounds and playing cowboys and Indians. We roasted marshmellows out in the pit and told ghost stories one night. During the day we could tube just off the dock down the Guadelupe and or go into Gruene and window shop. The privacy was a treat and we returned home MUCH relaxed. We will be booking again, and are telling our friends.
