About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

German Style Sunday House+ Outdoor Fire pit!

Nestled under a canopy of oak trees, and located within walking distance of historic Gruene, Texas (1 mile to Gruene Hall and a half mile to the Gruene bridge on the Guadalupe River), our guest house is a two-story "home away from home" for guests desiring a romantic retreat, a gathering place for family, a refreshing spiritual retreat, or a secluded spot for work. Please note: guests treasure the quiet of our guest house and neighborhood. Therefore, we cannot accommodate events/parties.

The space
Our guest house is secluded on our property and completely fenced off. Guests appreciate the quiet, coziness and curated decor and design of each room. In the style of an historic, German Sunday House, your experience will be reminiscent of a stay at an old home with the conveniences of modern amenities and easy recreation.

Guest access
You have access to the entire guest house if you book the whole house, as well as the fenced yard and driveway.

Andy, the cat, will be freely roaming the property and will happily come to greet you!

Parking: Two parking spaces provided but we can provide additional parking if prior arrangements are made.

Great for family!
We have two small children and we loved the location. We let them loose to chase deer in the yard and they were out for hours. Additionally, it was nice to be able to close the stairwell first floor door on the property and create separate entrances for upstairs and downstairs when needed. If you have a crowd, you CAN share the space...but you don't always HAVE to. Greg and Kathleen were great! The human touches that they put into their property were noticed and welcome. Plus, it was nice to actually got to converse with our hosts. Most importantly -- thanks for providing lots of K-cups for tired parents. The kids slept in the car on the way home...they are up and ready again. A+++ loved it here. Will stay again next time we are in town. Mike

Cool, Calm and Quiet
What a wonderful place to stay! It was so peaceful and quiet at the River Haven Guest House. I didn't get the chance to visit with Kathleen, but I met Greg in person and we had a great visit. The rental is spacious but cozy. It was comfortable and clean. My whole family loved our stay and we all want to stay again. And, Andy the cat was a great host as well. We all felt at home the minute we unlocked the door. The rental was easy to find and close to our destinations. Check-in was easy. It was very clean and the linens and towels were soft! Definitely a great stay and worth the money. We loved watching the deer. Thank you for a wonderful home away from home. Tacy Ellis

Hill Country Get away
We loved this little cottage - it was a perfect “country” experience filled with lots of wildlife, short distance to river, restaurants and when needed, to the major roadways to get you where you need to go fast. Greg and Kathleen are delightful hosts and were available to help us when our door code messed up after hours one evening. I’d give this property 5 stars!

Peaceful cottage in the trees
This cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway. Close to plenty of things to do but far enough to enjoy the quiet evenings. The decor was so welcoming and the beds super comfy. Thanks to Greg and Kathleen for all the special touches and memories. We will be back!
