Greatness in GRUENE

This place is AMAZING! Dustin and his staff are incredible. They greeted me with enthusiasm, they made rounds to check on the facilities and to converse with the guests and they remembered us by name. The amenities on the property are plentiful and loaded with options. There is a sauna, pickleball, pool, basketball, corn hole, horseshoes, fire pits, billiards and outdoor table games. The property is nestled on the Comal River and it is so peaceful, especially in the evenings; fireside. It is only 2 miles from Gruene proper so a short drive, Uber, or walk away. I am already trying to plan my next visit with friends.

OMG the stay was AMAZING. We stayed with some friends and family for our bachelorette/bachelor trip and had the most amazing time. Staff was so nice, room was super clean and cozy, and Gruene Hall was just 5 minutes away! We will definitely be back!

Great staff and accommodations

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful stay at Hacienda Del Rio in Gruene, TX this past weekend! Even with a packed house, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Dustin went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt comfortable and right at home. His hospitality truly stood out and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Hacienda Del Rio to anyone visiting the area!
