This is one of the most beautiful places in all of New Braunfels. You can’t go wrong staying here. Sitting by the fire on the patio overlooking the river is something I day dream about. Absolutely stunning. The staff has such attention to detail and clearly pours their hearts into making this place one of a kind.
This is a special and amazing place. The property is beautiful. The rooms are so unique, comfortable and kept amazingly clean. It is very apparent that the owners and staff really care for this property and their guests. Come here to get away, but you will feel like you are right at home, and like you are part of the family.
Everything about our stay here was perfect. The landscaping and views of the river were gorgeous. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The decor was inviting and classy. The food was incredible. Our bed in the Homestead was one of the most comfortable mattresses I’ve ever slept on. They go the extra mile, and it shows. We will be back!
First time staying, fell in love with this hotel! Our room was amazing, service was amazing and the complimentary breakfast was delicious and filling! Highly recommend!!
Nothing beats staying here and not worrying about parking in Gruene! The rooms are all amazing and so clean. We’re repeat customers!
