I was tasked with finding a place for 6 of us (all friends) to stay near San Antonio. After days of searches, I selected a Vrbo in Gruene and boy am I glad I did. The place was fantastic. The location (Gruene) was a gem we were not expecting.
First, the Vrbo residence worked perfectly for us. 3 rooms, 3 bathrooms with a very comfortable common area where we could all relax in. A true full kitchen, with all the tools, utensils, was perfect (could use an air fryer, hint hint).
Gruene, itself, was a gem of a location. Winery, antiquing, and many other shops and restaurants very close. The area was rural, away from city lights and quite relaxing. But, it was close enough to major arteries for us to get to San Antonio and other points of interest.
We'll definitely be using Vrbo again in the future for our next adventure. We recommend you stay in Gruene if you are planning a trip to the San Antonio area for your next trip.
