Beautiful Property

There were 16 women that stayed in the house and it was perfect. So much fun and a beautiful property. The house was very clean and open. Pool was wonderful and relaxing! There is also a chapel and a large venue for receptions on the property as well. Absolutely stunning, so if you are looking for a wedding venue, check out this property. We were literally 5 minutes from Gruene and our Uber drivers were all very friendly! We would definitely love to stay at this property again.

Company Party

We were originally looking for a place to stay on the river or the lake to have my husband's company party. Instead we found this beautiful property with a great pool! It had plenty of room to entertain. Lots of seating for guests to sit down and eat, inside or out. The pool was really roomy and worked perfectly for all the kids and adults. We had a fabulous time!

Perfect getaway house

Family loved the house. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. The pool was awesome for the morning and evening swims. Great location as we love the attractions in New Braunfels, everything is close by including our favorite winery that I only get to visit once a year. Would definitely stay at this house again and recommend it to others who may be headed that direction.

Perfect large family property!

We loved this house!! Location is awesome, pool is gated and clean, plenty of space inside for four couples and toddlers. Here are my key takeaways - - excellent proximity to Greune, Landa Park, and Schlitterbahn (super easy and quick drives!) - gated pool (necessity for toddlers) - large outdoor area (paved walkways, porch swing, tree house, pool, picnic tables) - lots of smooth pathways that would be perfect for toddlers on scooters or kids on bikes - we didn’t think about this but if we return then we would definitely bring bring bikes for the little ones! - the house is not keyless entry (one hardkey provided at check in) so will need to coordinate with your group if going different places

Superb Summer Vaca

My family and I rented this beautiful home for a summer vaca getaway. We loved the home, the pictures do not do this home justice. It was very spacious, clean and inviting. The kids loved the pool and the tree house. The adults enjoyed the natural habitat (Deer), location (near many restaurants and entertainment), and especially how peaceful it was sitting on the porch. Morning coffee spot and evening cocktail spot..hahaha.. We would also like to thank Ben, the groundskeeper, for helping us and answering any questions we had. He provided us with local hot-spots to visit on our next visit. The only thing I would add, is a list of local hots. (Restaurants, entertainment venues, that we out of towner's might like to visit. Ben provided some great options! Thanks again Myra for making this a wonderful stay! We will be back!

Great family space

We had a great time at this beautiful property and would definitely recommend it. It was clean and everything was just as shown on the website. We loved walking around the grounds and very much enjoyed the seclusion. The only negative I could give is that on the day before we left, the pool was serviced around 2pm and they advised us to stay out of the pool for at least 4 hours. That was extremely dissappointing to my young grandkids and the adult alike.

About the host

Hosted by Myra Zunker

Host profile image
My husband and I are both natives of New Braunfels. Growing up in New Braunfels was a blessing in disguise. We floated the Comal and Guadalupe rivers every chance we got. There were times that we floated both rivers in one day. As a kid you don't seem to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding area you are growing up in. But now that we are on the other side, we realize how blessed we were to grow up in a community with not one but two beautiful rivers, a quaint little town and Gruene Hall where we along with our parents have danced to many a good songs. We went to Canyon High School here in New Braunfels, married and have raised our family here. We currently live on the property next door to Escondida de Gruene

Why they chose this property

We bought this property with the intention of creating a place for families to come and enjoy a relaxing vacation. This is the original ranch home built in 1976 featuring beautiful rock walls in every room. We have expanded over the last few years and have added a beautiful Wedding Venue and Events Center. Please see visit our website, www.chandelierofgruene.com for more information. Family is important to us and we wanted to share Escondia de Gruene so other families could enjoy a slice of what we grew up enjoying. There are lots of beautiful places you can stay on the rivers, but not many that are a private retreat away from the hustle and bustle, a secluded oasis as Escondida de Gruene. You are close enough to enjoy everything New Braunfels and Gruene has to offer, then come home to your own private retreat!

What makes this property unique

Private swimming pool with shallow sun deck and umbrella for the little ones. Lots of outdoor dining area. Large screen TV in gameroom to watch movies or Hook up your Xbox and play games. Adults can enjoy a game of shuffleboard indoors while watching the flat screen TV above the fireplace. Custom made card/dominoe tables on the back porch made by my Dad, known to our family as Opa. Relax on the front porch in the handmade furniture and porch swing built by my father-n-law, known to our family as PaPaw. Game room opens up to the back porch, patio and pool creating a gathering place for the entire family.
