This inn was one of the first buildings in Gruene in 1872 and served as H.D. Gruene&#8217;s historic Eastlake Victorian home and cotton plantation. I stayed in one of their rooms overlooking the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The porch was divine. I sat out there rocking away with my guest, listening to the nearby music coming from Gruene Hall. Despite having late-night music on both sides once inside, you couldn&#8217;t hear a thing. They provided earplugs, but there wasn&#8217;t much need for them. There are also a couple of local bottles of wine in your room. Perfect for enjoying on the patio on a nice night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do have a small on-site eatery, the Pantry, located inside the historic inn. They serve up diverse and locally sourced charcuterie boards, fresh pastries, and cookies, as well as breakfast and lunch items. There&#8217;s no room to eat inside, but you can take it back to your room or enjoy it outside somewhere. They have plenty of random outdoor seating sprinkled throughout the property. They do offer coffee for $3 a cup, but your room also has a coffee maker with local coffee to brew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gruenemansioninn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check current prices at the Gruene Mansion Inn.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gruene Mansion Inn\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yKSrq_tb5i8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"stay22-widget\" width=\"100%\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/embed\/641790ed9ca33e003c585eec\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Read Next:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/schlitterbahn\/\">Schlitterbahn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/things-to-do-in-fredericksburg-texas\/\">10 Amazing Things to Do in Fredericksburg, Texas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gruene, Texas\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/azXp6XT5yAQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience.jpg\" alt=\"Gruene Weekend Getaway An authentic Texan Experience\" class=\"wp-image-34506\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruene-Weekend-Getaway_-An-Authentic-Texan-Experience-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visiting Gruene, Texas (part of New Braunfels) is the perfect weekend getaway from most major cities in Texas.
