Paddle, Float, and Fish the Guadalupe River

Make the most of your stay with private access to the Guadalupe River—perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking right from our riverfront. Unlike most, we provide paddle boards, kayaks, and tubes free of charge for our guests! For tubers, we recommend Rockin' R River Rides for a hassle-free experience and shuttle back to Gruene at the end of your float.

Even in the cooler months, the river offers a peaceful escape, with thousands of rainbow trout released each winter, making it a favorite destination for fishing and year-round recreation in New Braunfels.

Guest Reviews

I'm sitting in the Safari casita trying to figure out how quickly I can manage another trip out. This is the ideal place for fun and peace. I cannot believe how perfect this place is. The casitas are spotless, friendly, and perfectly furnished, and right between the most pristine piece of the Guadalupe River and the heart of Gruene.

We have found our forever spot. The Casitas are top notch and literally has everything you need to have the best time. It's a 5 min walk to Gruene Hall and all the shops. You can even rent a golf cart for the weekend. We have already booked to come back in September!

This place is absolutely fantastic. They have thought of everything! All the river toys, outdoor games, fire pits and fire wood. Room was very clean. Plenty of towels and more were delivered quickly when we needed them. We just had to show up and it was all ready for us. Can’t beat this location on the river and so close to dining & shopping. I know we will be back again and again.

Your Gateway to Gruene and Beyond

Stay in the heart of it all—from your Casita, it’s a leisurely five minute stroll to the Gruene Historic District, where you’ll find iconic attractions like Gruene Hall, the oldest dancehall in Texas, and the many boutiques, restaurants, and wine-tasting spots that make Gruene one of the most popular vacation spots in Central Texas.

Just ten minutes down the road, downtown New Braunfels is home to the historic Main Plaza, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Brauntex Theatre, and the Comal River, nicknamed "The Longest Shortest River in Texas," popular for its easy two-mile float.

Our central location offers easy access to nearby cities—just 30 miles from San Antonio and 50 miles from Austin—making The Casitas at Gruene the ideal home base for your Hill Country getaway.

"We LOVE this place!"

The owners are so sweet and welcoming and Dusty is amazing! Anytime we reached out for something she immediately replied and helped us with whatever we needed.

"Comfortable and spotless"

We stayed 2 nights at the Coastal Casita. The room was so comfortable and spotless. We were in town to attend a show at Gruene Hall. This property is truly a 5 minute walk to Gruene historic district and Gruene Hall. We plan to attend other shows at Gruene Hall in the near future and will definitely stay at The Casitas At Gruene.
