Cute house near the square
My family and I stayed at this house for a weekend getaway and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The house is nicely updated, the backyard is enclosed with a privacy fence, and the location is walking distance from the square. We would stay here again.

Lovely stay.
We had a lovely stay at this quaint little house. Back yard was beautiful, so we enjoyed a nice evening around the firepit. Had everything we needed…. From iron to coffee maker, blow dryers (3) and games! Great little place.

Adorable remodeled house close to the square. Pet friendly with huge backyard for our sweet girl. We would’ve loved to stay longer and utilize the game room and deck for grilling. The road in front is a little busy but didn’t hinder us from going in and out. We would definitely stay here again!

Granbury fun
Was great to be within walking distance of the square, especially since there was a big car show the weekend we were there. Outdoors was wonderful - house is cute. We didn't realize that one of the bedrooms was downstairs - pretty steep stairs, as well. However, that didn't detract from the fun we had!

Hot Summer
All in all it was a lovely stay. The house was as it was listed on the web site. However it was unusually hot stayed indoors mostly. This would have been a real pleasant stay if had been at a cooler time of year. Granbury is a lovely town.

Granbury Gem
Super cute house a few blocks from the Granbury square. Beds were comfortable and even though we weren’t there much, the house fit our needs. There’s an awesome little game room downstairs off the master that would keep anyone entertained if we had been able to just “hang out.” Huge backyard with a fire pit & seating - again, super cute!

Nice place, odd layout, quiet and convenient.
Cemented my daughter’s 20th birthday here. It was nice to have some entertainment indoors since it was cold when we went. The bottom floor stays cold while the top floor gets really hot so keeping a good temp was difficult. The boys loved having a spot to throw the football. My only complaint in the game room is through what seems like the master bedroom, which is also on the lower floor while the other rooms are upstairs. Also the bottom restroom has a barn door so not completely private. Overall it was nice. Great location, quiet neighbors. Best suited for couples
