THE SILO HOUSE
Gruene Homestead Inn is a collection of historic farm houses located on eight acres of an original German homestead. Innkeepers Ed and Billie Miles, and family, have maintained the estate's historical integrity by relocating and restoring old homes from the area. Guests experience the essence of a bygone era while lodging in one of the 21 individually designed and decorated rooms and suites. The Inn is within minutes of historic Gruene and New Braunfels, the Guadalupe and Comal rivers, and Schlitterbahn Waterpark. The location is convenient for visitors interested in golfing, rafting, tubing, fishing, dancing, shopping at the outlet malls, touring the Texas hill country, or just relaxing in a rocking chair on one of the spacious porches. Amenities include private baths with a choice of Jacuzzi tubs, antique soaking tubs, or stand up showers, King or Queen size beds, cable television, private porches, free wireless and broadband internet access and a full breakfast. Guests are invited to enjoy the swimming pool, hot tub, and beautiful grounds landscaped with native plants.
