Lynnae met us at the property and gave us a tour. She was an amazing host! It was our son’s wedding weekend and he and his groomsmen shared the Paris room, jumped in the river, and enjoyed the pool! My husband and I loved the Texas room and watching all the fun! Located so close to downtown Gruene and the wedding at The Chandelier. A perfect property for our weekend!
