One of the most unique aspects of Gruene Homestead Inn is that it sits on 8 beautifully landscaped acres, yet is located less than a mile from attractions of the historical district such as Gruene Hall, The Grist Mill, Gruene River Grill, and the newer Gruene Lake shops.  The benefit of lodging outside of Gruene is that there is no through foot and vehicle traffic which creates a more peaceful and secluded atmosphere.  This makes it perfect for large group stays, such as family reunions, where many varied interests must be met while still having an insulated environment.  Without leaving the property, guests can partake in the following activities:

Tavern in the Gruene
An on site full bar and live music venue featuring both regionally famous and up and coming artists in the Americana, Texas Music, Blues, and Country & Western genres.  Games include shuffleboard table, 3 hole washers pit, pool table, horseshoe pit, ping pong table, and an electronic dart board.  Well behaved, supervised children are allowed inside until 8pm.

Family Friendly Swimming Pool & Hot Tub (non-smoking & no alcoholic beverages)
A residential size swimming pool with an attached hot tub.  Located close to the Tavern but for use by registered guests of Gruene Homestead Inn only.

Assorted Games
Currently there are both a single hole washers court and full length horseshoe pit on the grounds.  Plans are in effect for the addition of a hopscotch court and full size washers court in the near future.

Activity Field
A one acre field of grass on the back of the property.  Large enough to play friendly, informal games and sports.  The inn provides some equipment such as a football, soccer ball, goal markers, and gloves and baseballs for playing catch.  Guests are encouraged to bring games of their own preference.  The activity field can also be used as a location for tents needed for large wedding receptions.
