Gruene Homestead Silo
I really like silos converted into homes and here is a really cool one that has been converted into a place of lodging. It is essentially a one bedroom loft apartment built into a 1940′s grain silo. I could see myself living in this and I would enjoy it very much.
Frequent guests of Gruene may recognize the structure itself as the “Gruene Silo Inn” that was owned by friends of the Miles family. Gruene Homestead Inn purchased and moved the silo in 2007 and have since remodeled both the interior and exterior in our own inimitable style.
This unit has a very upscale feel and is quite a unique lodging experience.
The silo has a queen bed, full sofa-bed, stand up shower, two sinks, wet bar, microwave, refrigerator, private porch and can be rented for $175/$210. You can visit the Gruene Homestead Inn’s website and learn more about their unique lodging.

I really like all that tile work throughout the place. Looks quite cozy.

That is amazing!
Seems like it could use more windows.
that’s awesome.
Although I’m always concerned with the possibility of legacy toxicity (fertilizers, pesticides, weed killers) when it comes to farm-type conversions.
I guess they moved it and cleaned though.
Another silo/home here.

Thanks Switcher, I’d seen the first one and thought it a little big to show here, but the second one fits in. I wish they had a few more pictures, I’ll see if I can get in touch with them…Kent
I do like the use of space in the kitchen for the large one. Puts the oven and some additional cabinets under the stairs.
