![]() ![]() In the resort community that my husband and I have our cottage, it’s SO small that we neither have a population sign nor mail delivery everything goes to general delivery at our post office. Thank you so much for sharing insider info on that area. Just be aware of traffic issues, especially in Gruene and near the river in N.B.įascinating read, bikespaces. Twenty miles is the furthest you’ll drive, probably round trip. They’re nowhere near the river (New Braunfels’ biggest attraction), they’re not near Schlitterbahn (a private river park attraction), and they are too far from Gruene to ever walk, but the privacy and the ‘tiny’ factor is worth something. After all, a standard hotel room down here (N.B.) is approaching $100 during the season. I’ve not been to the B&B that is in front of this tiny house, but I’d say the rates are high but not totally out of hand. My point is, if you want to stay in Gruene, you want to stay *in* Gruene, so you can park and walk, instead of dealing with traffic. What with the river, the dance hall, the general store and the grist mill, there’s nowhere to widen the road. Since there is only one winding country road into, through, and out of town, which was never meant to handle more than about six horse carriages on Sundays, the traffic is horrific on weekends (it was not great even in the 90’s but now it’s impossible). In the nineties it was charming, but the locals figured out that if they dragged in old homes from other places and rehabbed ’em, they could make a fortune renting ’em to the rubes–I mean, tourists. ![]() I don’t remember where the drop off is for toobing, but it does *not* run right past the grist mill or through the center of Gruene. Of course, being an old grist mill, the view of the river is spectacular. It also has a two story general store (if I remember right it has the old tin ceilings), an ice cream parlor, and an old grist mill that has been turned into a restaurant. Kids play on the tire swings and trees out back while the adults socialize at the picnic tables (no, really, they actually talk to each other!). It has no a/c, wood floors, and screens and wooden shutters for windows (no glass). They have had some of the biggest names in music play there live. As noted above, it has the oldest dance hall in Texas, which is packed full on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. Gruene is strictly a tourist town, and the rates reflect it. Only 7 miles to Hwy 16 and the Lake Norman area for ease of commute to Charlotte or for recreation on the lake.This is in New Braunfels, not in Gruene proper.
