About this property

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

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Schelling

Your hosts, Greg and Kathleen Schelling, built River Haven with comfort, relaxation, privacy and refreshment in mind. In the style of an historic, German Sunday House, the lodging will afford you with an experience reminiscent of a stay at an old home or dressed-up tree house (if you choose the upper level) with the conveniences of modern amenities and easy recreation. Kathleen traces her heritage to original German settlers in Texas (the Round Top area) and a background in offering hospitality and joy-filled fellowship. We value rich fellowship, nature, timeless quality, clean comforts like crisp white linens, and high standards that are often referred to as "vintage" today.

Why they chose this property

In the style of an historic, German Sunday House, the lodging will afford you with an experience reminiscent of a stay at an old home or dressed-up tree house (if you choose the upper level) with the conveniences of modern amenities. Located just a short walk to Gruene, Texas, in the old Preiss Heights neighborhood, guests will experience abundant wildlife such as white-tailed deer, foxes, owls, hawks, and many other birds. Whether you desire a cozy, secluded stay, a gathering of several friends or family members, or just a fresh landing spot to recharge while shopping or visiting tourist attractions, River Haven will provide its guests with a lovely location to rest, freshen-up, work, or play.

What makes this property unique

Because we are not located right on the Guadalupe, we are often sought after for the peace and quiet we can afford at River Haven. River access is only a half mile from us, and the village of Gruene is one mile away, however, and we have the unique quality of being desirable for every season, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, where guests can enjoy shows by artisans, seasonal activities, superior music at Gruene Hall, Whitewater Amphitheater, River Road Ice House, as well as numerous nearby smaller venues in Gruene and New Braunfels. San Marcos Outlet Shopping is a 20 minute drive away and downtown New Braunfels is 11 minutes away, and you will find abundant night life, antiquing and shopping there, also. Don't forget Wurstfest in the Fall!
