We've compiled the best of the best in Gruene - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
If you can stay in Gruene for an evening or two, this historic inn is the place to be. The main house is the original home of Henry Gruene, and the owners have painstakingly worked to restore everything to its original condition. The guest accommodations extend much further than the main house, including a row of cabins with river views, a renovated corn crib, and a period-designed lodge in the middle of the expansive property.
This collection of historic farmhouses features rooms and suites dating from the 1850s to the early 1900s, renovated to reflect the ambience of their era while still providing modern-day comforts—perhaps the best one being the outdoor pool with a hot tub and swim-up bar. An on-site event venue called Fiddler's Gruene, which features a full-service bar, stage, and yard games, also makes the Homestead Inn a popular option for weddings and other events.
