I'm very glad that they scheduled it here because it is a unique retro throwback. The folks working there were very accommodating and gracious. I didn't set it up or deal with them, only participated so I have no idea what the actual reservation interactions look like. We met in what appeared to be a country store straight out of the Walton's. It was a creaky old place with lots of nostalgia. Perfect for our strategy setting meeting for the future! I would recommend it as a different meeting place for your special meetings. Not a downer for me, but be aware that you will be meeting over quite a collection of various folding tables of different styles and eras.

Parking was so easy just steps from the front door. Our room was very clean. Loved the fireplace a few things that really need to be noted, is how close the hotel is to everything. It is an amazing location. We walk to our dinner reservations. They also serve wine in the lobby in the evening. The breakfast served in the morning was so good! The view from our table of the pool and the river was just beautiful. At breakfast, we all loved the yogurt parfait. It had crushed pineapple and kiwi. They had sausage, biscuits, and gravy, beautiful quiche, Pastries, so many beverage options. Everyone was so impressed. We all very much enjoyed our stay at the Gruene River Inn.

Let me start by saying that when change is made, it should be for the better. This has been a stop…read moreon our travel between family visitations on the I-35 corridor for many years. It always had a welcoming, rustic, hill-country feel to it that matched the surroundings. Our last stay I was really disappointed at the changes that had been made to the decor mostly because they make no sense and did not improve the property in any way. I sincerely hope that the owners did not pay for this decor design. It's pretty awful. (And kind of funny bc it's ALL over the place). What used to be rustic and charming now seems to be modern (gold fixtures, tiled shower, trash cans) asian (black trim, bathroom doors, headboard fabric), kitschy (lasso bedside lamps- that aren't good for reading and don't dim), with a 50's retro flair (the refrigerator and the blue tooth), and modern cowboy art on the walls. Yet, no one thought to include charging ports for electronics! It's so confusing. They pulled out the nice big tub and put in a shower that doesn't have a door and has a shower head with no pressure and no direction to it- so to say it plainly, it's difficult to get clean! Amongst all the changes perhaps fixing the toilet so it doesn't randomly run might have been a good choice. One of the reasons we use to like to stay were the delicious breakfast tacos that were provided. I don't know if they will come back or not as the lobby was under construction, but based on the decor choices my guess is they will make some equally terrible decision regarding the lobby and maybe do away with it all together? Who knows!What it has going for it is that the views are amazing (thankfully they couldn't change that or my guess is they would have)! The bed was comfortable and the towels were top notch. Maybe if you've never been before you won't find it as disturbing but I just had a hard time reconciling the fact that they paid to make the place worse. We might have to find different digs when we're in the area.

I came here for an April wedding and this venue is truly spectacular. Located on a hill, the…read moreincredible views are 360 degrees. The ceremony was on a grassy area with a beautiful alter facade. The reception area was truly the showstopper. The view was beautiful all around. There were archways everywhere you looked with the most scenic Hill Country views you could ask for. The dance floor protruded out one of the archways so that you could dance under the stars. Truly breathtaking. My only complaint was the terrain. The area where we had cocktail hour, as well as the walk to the ceremony, was very jagged and rocky. You would not believe the staircase down to the grass. There were rough steps and wobbly branches as handrails. The reception had flat cement floors, but again, the outside bar area was very hazardous in heels. The bride and bridal party had cowboy boots on, so this was mainly the brides fault for not including this bit of information about the difficult terrain in the invitation. Apparently many guests were aware of this, but as a plus 1, how was I to know? Something should have been mentioned in the invitation, or on the bride and groom's website.

My brother and his wife searched all over for the perfect wedding venue and found it at Rancho Mirando. After spending 4 days in the hacienda on property, I understand why. Leslie and her team will do any and everything to deliver the best experience possible. Their guidance, service, and friendship really made the wedding weekend go from very good to unforgettable. To say they go above and beyond is an understatement! I think Leslie even managed to turn down the June in Texas heat for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception! My kids loved playing on the grounds, in the pool, and in the very kid/family friendly game room within the hacienda. If anyone is looking for a fantastic wedding venue where lifelong memories can be made with family and friends close by, you will not go wrong with Rancho Mirando.

Their prices are average for party rooms. The event center rooms are nice and clean. The resort is dated but not by light years. It boast a 1995 look. Go during the holidays because the decor and Christmas lights are beautiful. The rooms are similar to what you would find in a Motel 6, clean, simple and affordable. We rented two queen bed rooms at $89 per night, a black Friday special! I also tried out their Sunday houses which is a one room cottage. The privacy is nice and the rooms are super clean. The restrooms are also clean and feature the 1995 esq look. The landscaping and walking trails are beautiful. The pool is nice and the hot tub stays hot. The practice putting green is cool. Their are fire pits around and lit during the night. This is a great place to hang out with the family while touring around the Texas Hill Country. Enjoy!

The potato skins might as well be a baked potato they are so loaded. I have a burger tattoo I love burgers so much. I can't decide if I like Maven's burgers or their sliders better. I suppose it just depends on my mouth's girth's mood. Also notable- the bacon wrapped dates and the Mac n cheese. They have events (bingo, karaoke, etc) damn near every night if they don't have live music. You may even see the owners frying fries and/or waitressing tables. This place is small town in the best way and we are so grateful for it!
