Charming Cottage Escape – King Suite w/ Jacuzzi & Secluded Patio | Historic Charm w/ Modern Comforts

Welcome to Gruene Homestead – a New Braunfels gem that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary comfort! Nestled within walking distance of the famed Gruene Historic District and just a mile from the iconic Gruene Hall, this one-of-a-kind vacation rental promises an enchanting stay with a dash of nostalgia.



Spread across an eight-acre property, Gruene Homestead was once the beloved bed-and-breakfast, Gruene Homestead Inn; though it no longer serves breakfast, it stands as a testament to timeless splendor. The collection of historic houses on-site, dating from the 1850s to the early 1900s, exudes a captivating ambiance that transports guests to a bygone era.

Great location in Gruene

Great location , walking distance to downtown Gruene and just a few miles to San Marcos and San Antonio. Parking on site was good and right outside the front door. Quiet atmosphere and even had a couple of deer that came by to visit a few times. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Great place to stay!

The Cottage was a great place to stay for my husband and our two dogs! It was open and quiet and close to everything we wanted to do (Gruene Hall, Gristmill, local shopping, etc.). The openness allowed for us to take our dogs on short walks around The Homestead. We would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s a cozy cottage, which is exactly as described. Basically this is a studio apartment in the form of a cottage. Huge bathroom with huge walk-in shower and very big bathtub. It was everything we needed.

We had a great time!!

We love coming to Gruene / New Braunfels area!! My husband and I actually stayed at this property 10 years ago when it was a Bed & Breakfast. It is a little different now being a Vrbo rental, but it is still a great property. It is quite, clean, and lots of wildlife. We loved our trip and will definitely rent here again.
