Guest Access:

This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1500 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $99.99 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



The Neighborhood:

Secluded area with private river access. Life vests for children are available for guests coming with family in need of spending an amazing time in the Guadeloupe River.



Located less than an hour’s drive from both Austin and San Antonio, New Braunfels is nestled deep in the heart of Texas Hill Country. Founded by German settlers in the mid-1800s, New Braunfels boasts old-world heritage alongside small-town charm. Stay local to experience the joys of New Braunfels, such as family fun at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, lazy river tubing on the Gruene River, or the chance to Texas Two-Step at the world-famous Gruene Dance Hall. Tuck into a gourmet meal at some of New Braunfels’ finest eateries, including Gristmill River Restaurant. Or venture outside of New Braunfels to downtown Austin or San Antonio (both less than an hour’s drive away). While at San Antonio, catch a Spurs game at the AT&T Center, or experience the beautiful Riverwalk urban waterway lined with shops and delicious restaurants. Life vests for children are available for guests coming with family in need of spending an amazing time in the Guadeloupe River.



While you’re here, be sure to stop by the Historic District of Gruene featuring Texas’ oldest bakery, antique shops galore, summer bier gardens, or Wurstfest; the annual 10-day homage to sausage. For more modern fun, check out super slides at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, spelunk in the Natural Bridge Caverns, go on a tubing expedition on the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers, or take a dip at Canyon Lake!

Life in Gruene

Our family had a wonderful time staying at "Life in Gruene". The listing, pictures, and description were just as they described. The house fit all of our needs, and the kids had a wonderful time making smores, playing ping pong, and playing in the river. There is so much to see and do around this house that none of our family was bored. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend this house for a family.

Perfect getaway - wonderful house and location!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house was very nice and plenty of room for our whole extended family of 17 people. The management was very helpful and quick to respond in preparation for the trip and checking in on us while we were there. The location is PERFECT to have easy access to the river, shaded areas and shallow water for little ones, deeper water for swimming and rapids for fun! We are already planning to book this same property for next summer!
