Gruene Mansion Inn

5 Stars – A True Texas Gem in the Heart of Gruene! Our stay at the Gruene Mansion Inn was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm, welcoming staff who were not only polite but incredibly informative. They made check-in and check out was a breeze and gave us great tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to make the most of our weekend in Gruene. The inn itself is full of historic charm, with beautifully restored rooms and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time — but with all the modern comforts. It's the perfect balance of rustic elegance and Hill Country charm. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. Everything was homemade — from the fresh-baked breads and muffins to delicious desserts and casseroles. It felt like we were enjoying a family meal, lovingly prepared with care. You don’t often find that kind of quality and authenticity these days, and it made the experience feel even more special. Between the unbeatable location (steps from Gruene Hall and the Guadalupe River), the cozy accommodations, and the exceptional service, Gruene Mansion Inn delivered on every level. We left feeling rested, full, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true taste of Texas hospitality!

Stayed 2 nights but no room available for both so stayed in 2 rooms. 1st night Berthas Room in main mansion, upstairs so a bit of challenge to get to, used back staircase (a little uneven and slippery if at all wet so be careful). Gorgeous room with Victorian feel, elegant furnishings, bed was very comfortable with soft sheets, loved the claw foot tub and private access to wrap around porch that overlooks town and has several rocking chairs. The room can be noisy due to location but they have earplugs in room to help cancel noise. Mini fridge,coffee maker,microwave in room, well worth the price. Excellent location in heart of Gruene. 2nd night Riverbarn Getaway back of property, did not like this room as much, same price as first room, but this one was small, bed and sheets were very uncomfortable, felt like a tiny cheap hotel also had coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. Did not feel this room was worth the price. Free parking on location you're given a parking pass. Second night we could not find parking, spoke to someone who said they never enforce parking and many of the cars were non guests, so we had to park far away. Check out is 11 am but hotel woke me up twice both mornings just after 8am with texts reminding me to check out at 11. Lots of outdoor seating to relax and area in the back to walk to river (a bit of a hike downhill.) You can purchase breakfast in The Pantry until noon.

We had a great weekend at The Gruene Mansion Inn. The staff is wonderful. Everyone very friendly and very helpful. Easy parking on the property. We parked on Friday and didn’t move our vehicle until Sunday. The Mansion is right in the middle of everything in Gruene. Right next door to Gruene Hall, where we caught Roger Creager on Saturday night. The beer and wine in the hotel are reasonably priced and are all available to go. The room was perfect for the hill country setting. Very clean and comfortable. Several very good restaurants within walking distance. River access and tube rental right around the corner. Overall a great visit. We will be back.

What a wonderful stay! The grounds are so fun, with a rustic old-Texas feel, including a gazebo swing and a windmill. Our room overlooked the river with rocking chairs on the front deck. Room was comfortable and charming. It was very peaceful and quiet. We loved being able to walk to the Gristmill for dinner, and Gruene Hall for the live music. Will definitely return again!

Each room is unique, and the property as a whole just has the whole Gruene vibe. We stayed here for our daughter's wedding, and we were able to walk to a couple of her events that were held in the town. We had a couple of issues, small, that happened with our room, and the staff fixed them immediately and offered us a free bottle of wine for any inconvenience we might have suffered which was none due to their prompt attention. The staff is top notch! The only recommendation I would give to any future guest is that due to the very unique nature of each room, some of the rooms have a bathroom on a different level within your room. My husband and I are in our 60s and get up several times a night. If you're young, this wouldn't be an issue. I will definitely stay here again, however, next time, I will ask for a room with a bathroom on the same level which many do! I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

This was just what we needed! We came in town to eat at Gruene River Grill. The Mansion was immediately next door. From our room, we walked maybe 2 minutes to Gruene Hall, 1 minute to Gruene Grove and 3 minutes to the Gristmill River Restaurant. Everything is right there! Lovely property. The pantry food and service is wonderful too!

Love this hotel, is there any better place to stay in Gruene than this! We weren’t able to get a room in the main building but very happy with our Gruene room which is set behind the main house. Very spacious bedrooms with decent bathroom and shower (in bath tub). Loved the decor, the view over the courtyard as well as the outdoor courtyard space. Right in the centre of everything, next to the Gruene Hall but surprisingly the music and noise did not disturb us at all. Would highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Gruene.

Most gorgeous rustic hotel I have stayed in ever. Sits above the Guadeloupe River and steps from the famous Gruene Dance hall. All rooms are appointed well with extras like microwave and fridge. This one had a great fireplace that was very handy on our rather chilly night. Service rates low since there isn't room service but they do offer breakfast for a fee. 4 restaurants in walking distance

What an amazing experience we had at the beautiful Gruene Mansion Inn! The main house is gorgeous, our room was perfectly cozy, and the location is second to none! And as an added bonus...the Inn breakfast tacos were scrumptious!

Excellent location to enjoy some country music, great food options and shopping! It's right on the river. Great outdoor space. This place was clean and service was wonderful! We were originally booked at another location but there was a fire and so they moved us to this location for the night...and we loved it. We'll likely plan another stay here soon!

We love going to Gruene and staying at the Gruene Mansion Inn. It's a tradition for us. We go for a few days over the Christmas holiday and then we always stay a few times during the Spring and Summer. Each room is charming and different. We typically stay in the Sunday Haus which has a seating area downstairs with a fireplace and a spiral staircase leading up to a large room with. A king size bed and balcony. It's fun to listen to the bands playing at Oma's secret garden. The spiral stairs are a little hard to navigate - justFYI. They have plenty of rooms with normal stairs. Recently we have been staying at the Corn Crib cottage which has a sweet little loft that my 4 year old stays in. The breakfast is fantastic. Especially the coffee! The reason I decided to write a review however is we just got back from our holiday stay when I received a phone call that the maid had found my wedding rings - I had left them behind. Eek! It was Friday and I was leaving for Boston on Sunday (Christmas Day). The woman was so empathetic and assured me she would get them to me on time. She overnighted and I got them back on my finger the next day. Hallelujah!!

While we did not stay at the Inn, so I can't speak of the B&an, it looks lovely. My 2 teenage kids and I went to the Pantry, ordered a muffin, a breakfast taco and avocado toast. Everything but the muffin was awful! The younger gal taking our order asked me if "is that it" every time I tried adding to our order, so rude. I left an 11% tip since it was a counter order. My avocado toast has so much salt on it; I'm sure as a F you for my tip. My son went back in and purchased two bottles of water that he retrieved from the refrigerator, the older lady said to him "No tip!?" He said correct, no tip. I'm not sure what he was supposed to tip for, he retrieved the water himself ma'am! Gruene mansion inn, do better, hire better staff. This is despicable treatment of patrons to your establishment. I had planned on returning with my husband for a weekend getaway, but I will gladly pass.

Went for breakfast with another couple, they received their food after 30 minutes, after 45 minutes I went to inquire about ours and to cancel it, was told there was a miscommunication on the order, they also tried twice to bring other tables food to us, when we clearly did not have that table number. Very disorganized, and cannot handle more than a couple orders at a time,definitely would not eat there, nor will I return. Giving 1 star since can't do less

My husband and I decided to go for a quick getaway to Gruene and booked a room. It was in January, and we knew it was cold during this time. Our room was upstairs with a wonderful balcony to enjoy. When we settled in for the evening and went to the restroom, we noticed there was no hot water. in the morning, we couldn't enjoy the amazing tub that was there to shower or take a bath. So, if you are booking a room there double check that all the "amenities" offered are working. We reported this, to the owners, and were given an "Ok, thanks for staying here" ‍

Beautiful place to stay that's a 5-10 minute walk to everything in Gruene - music, restaurants, shopping, tubing, etc. The rooms are decorated in a cool, funky, cozy way. The employees are all fantastic! The breakfast is DELICIOUS!!!

(September 2022) BEAUTIFUL staycation my boyfriend and I had in the Hayloft. Living so close to Gruene that we come often but now I can finally say that I've had the Gruene Mansion Inn experience.

The Pantry was a nice little breakfast nook. The food was good (although limited) and the service was gracious. My wife and I enjoyed the ambiance under the canopy of trees in the patio.

Beautiful B&B! The grounds are immaculate, and there are photo ops everywhere you look. The location can't be beat, as everything to do in Gruene is just steps away. We stayed in the River Lookout room. It was perfect! Charming cottage with an amazing river view, private patio with rocking chairs, adorable upscale (yet rustic) decor, and an incredibly comfortable bed! The Pantry has delicious pastries and cook-to-order breakfasts. I can't wait to return for another stay during colder months!

Great little coffee and pastry shop. Clean, bright, and friendly. Grab and go or have nice break in a comfortable setting.

My fiance and I are locals and we love eating breakfast at the Gruene Mansion. The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious. Even if you are not staying here, I recommend you get yourself some breakfast here.

This place is so darling and romantic. We checked in on a Friday afternoon and received great service at the desk. They had infused water and warm cookies at check in. The main mansion is where you go for your breakfast. We stayed at cottage #19. It is so precious inside. A log cabin feeling with comfortable beds, linens and they had the fireplace on when we got there. It is two stories with a small spiral staircase. So if you have challenges walking or climbing it could be difficult. But no worries, there is a twin bed downstairs if you can't walk the stairs. They are so thoughtful with several coffees, creamer in the fridge and several types of sweetener. It's a Keurig coffee maker if you want to bring your own coffees. They supply three types of wine in your cottage but there is a small charge. This is the second time I've been here, and I am confident we'll be back!

Hubby and we're both in the area for a wedding and to celebrate our anniversary. We had a great time! Stayed Friday-Monday. We stayed in Bertha's room. It is one of the two rooms in the house. Things are hopping in Gruene until about midnight. If you are looking for quite this not the place for you! We enjoyed it though. The first night we just sat on the porch and people watched with a bottle of wine. Also enjoyed the music. The inn is sandwiched between Gruene Hall and the Gruene Grove. Depending on which band we liked better we sat on a different part of the porch. The second night we danced on the balcony. The folks at the Gruene Grove seemed to get a kick out of that. The Inn gave us a bottle of wine and macaroons with a cute little note for anniversary. The food was amazing and the town was a lot of fun to wander and shop. Can't wait to return!

This is our first (will not be our last!!!!) stay at the Gruene Mansion Inn. We are staying in one of the rooms that offers a fireplace. It certainly is perfect for this chilly weekend in Texas! Our room is called the Fireside Lodge #1 and it is in the "Breezeway" building. We do not have a view of the river but we knew that when we booked. The staff here has been amazing and so welcoming beginning from their texts to welcome us and give check-in instructions, etc. to the fresh firewood stacked by our door. The room is rustic and adorable! I cannot say enough about how precious our little room is. The room is cozy and romantic. FThey have a cute little "pantry" in the main building with snacks, breakfast pastries, wine, cokes and other snacks. There were 3 bottles of wine (for purchase) a cork and wine glasses in our room when we checked in and charcuterie boards available to order. I already cannot wait to come back and we still have the rest of the weekend here!

We loved it here, very romantic. Don't chill the wine unless you plan on drinking it (it wasn't expensive but we didn't know that until we read other reviews). We highly recommend the Gruene Inn!

This property is perfectly located right in the middle of all of the action in Gruene. It makes heading out to the shops, restaurants, river, music all within steps. This is a busy spot and you will definitely hear music and activity from your room. The buffet breakfast in the morning was tasty with a lot of variety. The staff at the Inn were accommodating and helpful. There is a nice river ride not far from the hotel and there are many tubing vendors within walking distance. Our room was a vertical space, two story with a spiral staircase up to the sleeping room. This will not be a good floor plan for individuals with disabilities, elderly or people who plan to enjoy the town in the early dawn. But it does provide a nice sitting area separate from the sleeping area. The bathroom was on the first floor. I would stay at the Gruene Inn again.

Dang, I was very pregnant 2 years ago and apparently a little critical. This place is dope. It's super old, but that adds the charm. This is centrally located and you park and can walk EVERYWHERE. We took our daughter and she had a blast! The stairs were a little scary for her, but we just kept her downstairs. It's worth a stay and the breakfast is SO GOOD. They have the best cinnamon rolls!!!

We are local and recently stayed here for the first time for a couple of nights just as a get away. We stayed in the River Lookout room. The check in process was done online and there was text communication before our check in, once during the stay to let us know someone was on the property in case we needed fresh towels, and then once after check out. The room was beautiful, clean, and the porch was private with a nice view. There where nice "extras" that made a difference.....Small bags of coffee were in the room, there was a curtain that could be pulled on the porch for added privacy and/or sun. There were bottles of wine available (for purchase) if you wanted it.....the location is great. You can walk to coffee shops, restaurants, Gruene Hall. A couple of things I'd mention for other travelers: this particular room shares a wall with another room (that is a two story room). It sounded like the staircase in that room runs along the shared wall. One of the nights we were there we heard people going up and down the stairs well into the early morning. There were earplugs provided in our room so I suspect this may be a known issue. It did not bother me but my husband is a light sleeper and he noticed it. Also, because this room faces the river, it also overlooks the bridge that runs across the river below. The traffic sounds never stop. Not any fault of the hotel but just something to be aware of if you are looking for total peace and quiet. When we sat in inner areas of the property, it was very quiet. I will also say that we had one minor issue during our stay that I mentioned to management after we checked out and I received a response promptly and it was very professional and appropriate. I would definitely recommend staying here. We will be back, although will probably stay in a room that doesn't overlook the river next time, just to get away from the traffic sounds.

I made last minute reservations and the staff was amazing to make our romantic getaway with my Hubbie just fabulous! I added the special that included beers wine and all basket and they had everything set up to surprise my husband! The room itself was just amazing! Then let's talk about the breakfast buffet.... simply AMAZING!!! Food was like my grandma cooked comfort food for us! Waow waow waow! Kudos to the chef! And the chef she was interacting with everyone making sure everyone was happy with their food drinks and all! Definitely coming back !!!i would give this place and staff 10stars!

This place always meets and/or surpass my expectations in both service and food. You will never be wrong by choosing them. Only downside ... you must be early as it gets pack quickly.

Everything about this place is beautiful. Whether you stay in a room in the main inn or one of the river lofts you will have a wonderful stay. Staff is very welcoming and there to meet all your needs. Gina is amazing!! She will take care of you. Nestled in the heart of Gruene and a few steps away from Gruene Hall. Breakfasts are the BOMB! They really should open a little restaurant that serves their great breakfasts. You feel like a little step back in time when you stay here with the modern day luxuries. Beautiful grounds. You will want to take pictures everywhere because it is a gorgeous place. Beds are super comfy and the furnished are inviting. The river rooms have porches with rocking chairs and curtains for privacy. After staying here you will not want to stay any where else in this town.

Very good location, clean, good breakfast. Staff not very professional and not very nice: They kept looking at me as if I am an intruder whenever I went for the included breakfast, even they " interrogated " me about my room number ( the rooms have no numbers btw) and then asked about my last name ( on my second day ) When I checked out...no " hope you enjoyed your stay " no nothing ...a very rude receptionist. Is it because I am a foreigner?...I wonder.

It does not matter if you are staying in the main house or any of the other 28 room styles you will LOVE it here. It is absolutely the most romantic place in town. We stayed in "Sunday Haus #16" said to be perfect for couples. It was a beautiful two story place with vintage furnishings including a king size four poster bed in the upstairs loft, a claw foot rub, a dainty day bed and fireplace, and private balcony. Definitely a place you must stay at when visiting Gruene or the New Braunfels area.

Located in the heart of downtown historic Gruene. Only a few steps away from Gristmill. Very rustic, great view. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are small and pricey.

I would like to say thank you to the staffs at Gruene Masion Inn since you guys did a good job. I booked for my family in-law for visiting and they all loved staying there. Great front desk and helpful. The inn is clean especially the bathroom design, love it love it. Bed is comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.

Must begin with saying this place gets noisy! I don't like noise BUT the place is too beautiful to knock off a star. You can clearly hear the other guest clomping around. Also, we tried sitting outside but other guests walk by making it not so romantic ... oh well. The room was beautiful. Customer service was great. The breakfast was tasty. Love how you can walk anywhere and just enjoy your stay at Gruene.

Terribly cute, homey, and wrapped in the warm blanket of history, this hotel's been around since 1872, and helps frame the stretch of Gruene seeing the most foot traffic on busy weekends around town. It's a charming, boutique B&B set up, from the buffet style breakfast featured to the antiquated claw tubs in the bathrooms, to the elegant four poster beds and bay windows, in our case, looking out onto Gruene Hall and picnickers below. It's bigger than it looks: it appeared to contain three or four large buildings each housing a number of rooms, and the layout seemed to encourage quiet reflection, unless you happened to be seated out on the porch on a Saturday evening, where instead you could filter whoever was playing at the dance hall next door and in the beer garten on the other side. All in all, not a bad way to kick back.

Been here three years in a row for our anniversary. Absolutely love it. Cozy getaway with a awesome staff. Breakfast is absolutely delicious and we have plenty of privacy. We'll be back!"

Positives Location was great. It's right in the middle of downtown gruene. You can park your car and never move it. Rooms were nicely decorated, and the view from our room was really nice. Staff was also friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Negative Mattress felt old and really uncomfortable. I didn't get good nights sleep while I was there. Really enjoyable experience overall.

This place was amazing!!! The staff was so accommodating and bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms are so very quaint and comfortable! The food was absolutely amazing!! I am not a breakfast eater but I absolutely ate both mornings!! It's all homemade and they have such a great variety of everything!! So much better then your average continental breakfast!! Loved we could just walk to shops and dinner! Absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning!!

1st B&B experience, everything was great! Especially the location right next to Gruene Hall and several popular restaurants. Amber was very helpful and detailed when we showed up. Unfortunately we woke up late for breakfast and just when we thought we would be drive off on an empty stomach....lady at the front desk noticed and right away offered it to go. Very attentive staff!!! Will definitely be going back!!

Awesome time. Highly recommend Gruene Mansion. Park the car and never drive it again until you leave. Breakfast was great and you have to catch a show at the Hall.

This place rocks! I stayed here for three weeks straight for business (one week at a time, flew home on the weekends). I stayed in a different room each week... all were awesome! Walking distance to everything, including nightly live music, wine bars, restaurants, beer, shops, etc. The breakfast staff would see me approaching each morning, and had my gluten free breakfast prepared and steaming hot! I learned how to ditch my Marriott points during this stay. Glad I did!

We had a wonderful stay in Gruene TX & the Guene Mansion Inn was a huge part of the reason! We had a beautiful view of the river from our Guest Haus room...the huge windows let in the light and gave us the stunning view of the forest surrounding the river bed. There were so many restaurants & shops within walking distance...and several spots with live music...the Gruene Hall is right next door!! (We even found Goodwins..a speakeasy at Gruene Grove..shhh)

What a beautiful and well run bed and breakfast. We stayed on a Sunday night in a riverfront view room. It felt like we were sleeping in a private tree house over the river, but we were a 3 minute walk from everything in town! The rooms are very well equipped and clean. Comfy bed, big soft towels. The staff was helpful and friendly. They left me a dessert and bottle of wine in our room, for my birthday! The breakfast was a well prepared southern spread with little apple strudels and the hash brown potatoes standing out for me! We pre ordered mimosas and took them back to our porch where we watched lazy river tubing Folks float by during a rare summer morning rain storm. Enjoy!

Hands down one of the best places I've ever stayed. Location is convenient, rooms are cozy, air conditioning is great, breakfast is AMAZING, experience is fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect. If you're looking for a place to stay near the Guadalupe (and you can afford it,) STAY HERE.

What an amazing treat! I was greeted with kindness and courtesy the moment I stepped on the relaxing property. Everything was very thoroughly explained to me by the people in the office: where my room was located, where to park, what time check out was, how to use the keypad, when and where to go for the included breakfast, and the highlights of the property. The room was very private and comfortable, with tasteful decorations and a cabin- like feel. Gruene is a nice getaway, and Gruene Mansion Inn made my trip a total retreat! Will return again!!

I was looking for a relaxing place to getaway to for a couple of days. This place was perfect! The people here are beyond hospitable and my room and the Inn were perfect "Texas"! Breakfast was great and for lunch and dinner you have a few great choices on the same street. Saw a free concert next door at Gruene Hall while I was there. I've been working in hotels for 20+ years and this place is top notch! I plan on staying here whenever I can get away from SA. And did I mention they have some great shops within walking distance.

Gruene Mansion has always been the best place around to stay. Beautiful accomodations, nature all around, great people and right in the hub of it all. Park your car and just enjoy. Wander through town with a beverage and find a bite to eat. And soon,once again, listen to the music. They have also added an outdoor covered venue with a fireplace... sooo nice. Can't wait to stay again.....and again......

I adore the Gruene Mansion Inn. The sheer convenience factor of having a quaint little B&B right next to a weekend getaway's worth of dining, entertainment and shopping makes the GMI a winner in my book. It's romantic, overlooks the Guadalupe River and has super adorable grounds that are primo for relaxation. They have recently updated some of the rooms - New quilts, spectacular hardware (a bulls head towel holder from Dot and Bo!), and some fresh paint over some otherwise drab forest green/floral wallpaper. A great step in the right direction. Couple of items for improvement which could really knock this 4 Star review to be a legit 5 Star review contender would be: a functioning AC unit (thankfully we were in town during cooler weather) and more readily available wifi. Other challenges: Two night minimum stay on the weekends and sometimes parking can be a challenge. Solid #ProTip: If you don't wanna pay cover for the artist playing at Gruene Hall (or mayb the show is sold out), stake out a table on the GMI patio near their main offices and you'll have a decent opportunity to catch the live music from about 75' from the main stage. Oh, and that patio is private property so it's totally cool to BYOB! Heck, they even provide wine glasses and a bottle opener in your room!

My lovely, sweet and adorable husband recently surprised me for our anniversary with a trip to Gruene and a stay at the Gruene Mansion Inn. It was just sigh worthy, in the best way possible. We had great privacy in a room overlooking the river, and barely heard a noise from the outside world when in the room. The decor was cozy and the claw foot tub was just beautiful and relaxing at the end of a busy shopping day. We were in great walking distance if every shop and antique store and so close between Restaurants that when we went to dinner it was literally steps away from our cabin. The bed was so high I needed a step stool to get on it and it was a bit creaky and not as firm as I like, which is the only slight drawback for me. The room was so comfortable overall that it didn't matter much. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, too, with fresh eggs, quiche and fruit. We both had an awesome time and would gladly go back to explore more about this charming little town.

Came here for our Anniversary and it was the Best!!! Relaxing atmosphere...Breakfast was Great!!! The Ladies that at the front desk were professional and informative. Will be coming back again soon. And will recommend to family and friends.

I just can't recommend this little gem highly enough. Not only are the grounds breathtaking and the rooms stunningly quaint it's the staff that make this place unforgettable. From the precious front desk staff to the kindest sweetheart in the kitchen. We felt like we were family. Thank u gruene mansion u will always have a piece of our heart. Your Aussie mates Michelle and Sharon

I wanted to like it more than I did. I certainly expected to like it more than I did. Turns out that there were just too many issues for me to like it more than I did. Our stay was Thanksgiving night and the night before. At check-in, we were asked whether we were going to join them for Thanksgiving Dinner. Well, when I reserved the room, they said they usually had a meal on Thanksgiving, but they weren't sure yet if that would be the case this year. They would email confirmed guests if they decided to offer dinner. Fine, I'd wait and see if they emailed. When they didn't, I made other plans. We were also informed at this point that, since they had a dinner to prepare, breakfast would not be served on Thursday morning. Coffee and pastries would be set out for an hour instead. Not really a B&B, then, is it? Instead of a full breakfast on Thursday morning, we got an obnoxiously loud bang on the door and a scream of "housekeeping!" I told them to go...away. I guess the staff wanted to get home to their own Thanksgiving dinners. On to the room and its amenities, then. Quaint and rustic with some modern touches sums it up. Flat panel TVs upstairs and down, mini-fridge & Keurig coffee maker interspersed with creaky daybed, chunky table, primitive wardrobe and claw-foot tub. And no chairs. Odd, that. Nary a place to sit besides on the bed. Or outdoors. I ended up snagging some wicker from out and moving it in. One nice touch was that they provided real cups, spoons, glasses and even a corkscrew, but the topper was the towels. Man, were they plush! Without a doubt, the worst thing was the lack of toilet paper. In its place, they had a roll of sandpaper that was so thin you could read through it. I have never been so happy not to have lady parts. I guess they have a septic system to protect, but I get better quality paper for my RV and Cruise Ship TP is even softer than that. They really could do better for what they charge. A couple of random things: the wi-fi was iffy, at best; the water pressure in the shower would blast the barnacles off your hull; if they want you to "be nice & use less ice" they should give you an insulated ice bucket, although the stainless steel ones provided are probably classier looking. While the fancy coffee-making contraption was interesting, the abundance of flavored coffees instead of plain old Java was annoying. Breakfast (when we finally got it on Friday) was tasty, but not to die for. The location is awesome if you're going to a show at Gruene Hall. If you're not, then it's not close to much. This point was driven home when we returned after our Thanksgiving dinner in San Antonio and all of Gruene was closed. Most everything was closed all over, but Gruene was a ghost town. And there was nothing to do at the inn. Now where did I see that corkscrew?

This is my favorite place in Gruene. So beautiful and quaint! The rooms are clean, cozy and so so cute. Right in the middle of all the fun things to do in Gruene. You can sit outside and hear music from Gruene Hall. Walking distance to everything. And the breakfast is AMAZING. So delicious. The best breakfast I've ever had at a bed and breakfast type place. The linens are comfortable and the towels are so soft.

We absolutely love this place and can't wait to return. You feel as though you're living somewhere on the prairie with not a care in the world. With a perfect view of the river, we sat on our porch to watch the sunset, followed by some quiet time on the porch sipping wine. Unless you're crazy about crowds, there's no reason to visit Gruene Hall to experience the music when you can just pull up a chair on the patio behind the main house and take it all in. With three venues surrounding us, we had our choice by simply relocating to another area by the main house, or just sitting on our porch. The location is perfect, allowing us easy access to the main street, as well as the shops on Gruene Road. We plan to take our running shoes for our next visit and use the long stretch of Gruene Road for our path. I cannot remember a trip that totally rejuvenated me like this one, most of which was due to the peaceful atmosphere of Gruene Mansion Inn. By the way, they offer an excellent breakfast each morning starting at 8:30 a.m.

Stayed a quick 2 days. We stayed in the river lookout room. It was a great view! Nice and quiet!

Quiet, relaxing and beautiful! The thing that stood out the most was the amazing breakfast & friendly people. The location was right next to one of my favorite restaurants, Gristmill. I would recommend staying at Gruene Mansion Inn.
