My husband, daughter and son-in-law stayed at River Road Retreat this past weekend. This quaint country home is so much better than the pictures. It feels like home away from home. The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The yard is well kept and so serene. We spent most of our time in Gruene. Great location! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the outdoors. Everything was clean and in working order. Everything we needed was there. Plenty of parking for larger groups. Can't wait to go back.

We have stayed at River Road Retreat previously and loved it so much we went back for a celebration of life and Thanksgiving, gathering family from California, Texas, Alabama and London! We even extended our trip an additional day. The house is cozy and full of things to do (puzzles, games, badminton, cornhole, volleyball, television for those let active). There is wild life in the backyard everyday. It is clean and has a full kitchen. It is also centrally located to Gruene and New Braunfels, but tucked away from the traffic, so nice and quiet. Itrip (Alison) was available to take a call on a Saturday even when she was celebrating Thanksgiving with her family. I cannot say enough about this retreat house and Itrip. We will return, again and again and again. Thank you very much for your hospitality

This home and location are the complete package! The warm, cozy, charming, tranquil atmosphere, both inside and outside, makes for a very comfortable stay! The rooms are spacious, and beautifully decorated with unique pieces that are interesting, soothing and inspirational! The kitchen is well-equipped for the needs of one or a group! The outside amenities allow for of a variety of games, cooking on the grill, or communing with nature (including watching for the regular visitors of deer and cardinals)! The distance to the other area amenities makes the River Road Retreat Farmhouse a wonderful place for a family to relax and enjoy the time together, and the area! Kudos to the owners who have thought of everything needed to make the RRR Farmhouse a wonderful place to stay! Thank you for providing this rental! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time spent there!

This property was a perfect launchpad for activities in the area. The house was rustic yet clean and well equipped. We all enjoyed watching deer in the mornings and evenings. The fire pit and spacious grounds were great for our group. Don’t forget to bring your S’mores supply!

My daughter was graduating from TXST and we had grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins in from out of town. River retreat was absolutely awesome. There was enough room for all family and we were able to grill out for the celebration instead of trying to make reservations for 10-12 people. We played corn hike, ladder ball and watched deer from the back yard area. Even my 80 year old mom - who had never used itrip- said it was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend this property!

- Julie

Thank you for the fantastic five-star review, Julie! We are so happy that your entire family could come together and celebrate this momentous occasion at River Road Retreat. The bunk room, four acres, and outdoor games make it a true retreat for large groups. We hope to have you back again!

We went to our State Art competition with 7 of our girls. We wanted to find a place they could bond, enjoy nature and just disconnect. The bunk room was a perfect place for them and each of the teachers had their own room. The girls LOVED the house. They were always watching for deer (which we saw), they had a blast making smores, playing Jenga.... I even saw them running around outside like they were kids again, exploring and playing cornhole. The house is so peaceful and in a PRIME LOCATION! So easy to get everywhere. We will always come back to this house for our event!! Oh, and the renters are the sweetest people!!! :) Thanks again for a great experience!!

- Jennifer

Thank you for the fantastic five-star review, Jennifer! We are happy that your group enjoyed their stay at River Road Retreat. The acreage, wildlife, and games are some of the things that make the home so special; to think of the girls running around enjoying nature brings us joy!

Our entire family stayed here this past weekend for my brother's wedding in Gruene. The house was able to accommodate all of us comfortably and it was conveniently located as well. The stay was overall great; the only "negative" piece of feedback is that it was cold outside and even though we had the heater on inside some of the rooms were still very chilly. Wasn't a deal breaker for us we just ended up needing to find extra blankets.

- Stephanie

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at River Road Retreat, Stephanie! We are happy that you and your entire family could stay close to the wedding venue together. The proximity to Gruene, the river, and downtown New Braunfels can't be beaten! Being an exceptionally spacious and authentic farmhouse, there are unique characteristics that modern homes do not have, like squeaky floors and drafts. We hope the charm made up for the chill, and please do not hesitate to reach out during your stay if there are issues that we can address to improve your experience! Thank you again, and we hope you visit any iTrip San Antonio property in the future.
