Great place
This place is relaxing and quiet! Our room was spacious and clean. It had all the comforts of home. This is the best place to stay that is close to the river and Gruene.
I would definitely recommend!!!
This is a wonderful place and so quiet and relaxing. This was mine and my hisbands 1yr anniversary and we just loved everything bout this place that we are already planning for next year. I think this will be our spot for years to come.
Book your stay I can promise you won’t regret it
We had the best time staying at the Ranch House. Great location, amazing pool, and tons of deer! My two mini dachshunds loved watching the deer. My kids had the best time at the pool. It was clean inside and out, as well as quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be back!

The Ranch House
We stayed 4 nights in The Ranch House and had a great time! It was the perfect size for our family, was clean and had everything we needed. The house is cute and the property was so pretty and relaxing. The kiddos loved the pool and I loved rocking on the front porch and watching the rain. It’s super close to historic Gruene shops and restaurants as well to New Braunfels but the property felt like you were out in the country. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
We had a wonderful weekend at this very unique property. The house was very clean and well-maintained. We had the perfect amount of space and comfortable sleeping arrangements for our family of 4. The pool was a huge hit; very relaxing and refreshing in the hot weather. Our favorite part of the property was the group of deer that made their rounds during the morning and evening hours. We were able to sit on the porch and just watch them graze less than 20 feet away! We had a great time and would definitely return.

Ranch House in Gruene, TX
We have staying at the Ranch House in Gruene a few times and also staying at other rentals on the same property. I have been to the property at lease 7-8 times total. We loved our stay. The house was cute as usual and the property is very clean and the big pool is amazing. I know the pool was just built a few years ago and it is a great addition (especially in the summer Texas heat)! We will come back next summer as we do every summer. Thank you!

The Ranch House
My girlfriends and I have been staying at this property the past 5 years for our annual girls river trip! We most recently stayed in The Ranch House and as always, had a fabulous time! The house and accommodations were perfect for us and our needs! The pool is wonderful and we enjoyed just hanging out in the peace and quiet so much we opted out of spending our nights in town to just relax out there! We had a minor issue with lights (simple breaker issue) when we first arrived that was immediately taken care of and we appreciated the quick response! The beds are comfy, the ice machine comes in handy often, the pool is perfect, we just love it! We cannot recommend this property enough and look forward to many more years of girls trips here!

The Ranch House Review
Just WOW, The Ranch House was an awesome choice for a group of boys celebrating a graduation. It sleeps 4 easily and has lot's of room. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. The bathroom was very large with a dressing area. The Ranch House was clean and cozy with lots of seating options. The location in Gruene was perfect to get to all the attractions in the area. Alison made sure our check-in was quick and easy and she was very responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The boys will be talking about the memories made that weekend for a long time to come.
The property was clean and quiet and perfect for our family of four. A full kitchen made breakfasts easy, and sitting on the patio and watching the deer with a morning cup of coffee made it feel even more secluded. A minutes drive to the heart or Gruene, we spent afternoons listening to music and eating. We’ll definitely be staying here again.

Ranch House
The inside of the Ranch house was excellent. The outside could have used some updated furniture in back and one of the rocker in front of house the leg was broken. If we have not seen that it could have been an accident. Otherwise the place was great tomato the weekend.
