Traveler advice

Customs and culture

New Braunfels is friendly!

Don't be afraid to ask for directions or for someone to take your family photo in front of Gruene Hall and other picturesque or historic locations.
Book before you go

McAdoos & Myrons

If venturing to downtown for dinner, just a 10 minute drive from the casitas, make sure to make reservations at popular restaurants like McAdoos and Myrons Steakhouse.
Getting around

The Casitas are right in Gruene, but...

You can walk to anywhere in Gruene, but it's a whole new experience to rent a golf cart! We recommend Howdy Carts! We also have Uber and Lyft widely available!
