Cute bed and breakfast within walking distance of the square. Great hospitality with very friendly hosts. As can be expected in a bed and breakfast the house is older and noisy as a result (lots of creaks and squeaks). The charm and details of the home definitely makes up for it though. Would absolutely stay again!

Nice weekend getaway

The owners Julie & Lenny were very nice and friendly. They made us feel welcome. Breakfast was very good we had quiche, roasted potatoes, muffins and fruit one morning. On the next morning we had an egg casserole, roasted potatoes,cinnamon rolls and fruit. All the food was delicious and homemade. We enjoyed our weekend! Wanda & Kevin Timmons

Convenient location. Delicious breakfast and interesting guests and hosts. The only negative was the bed in our room was so high that my wife had a hard time getting up on it, but it was very comfortable. Parking was great.

A well maintained historic home. The host was freindly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The only downside is that it is a little pricey. I highly recommend this location.

Two thumbs up

A really nice place close to downtown square. Accommodations were superb. Breakfast was great (home cooked and hot) The host (Julie) anlso accommodated our diet needs with choices.

This B&B is an antique treasure. The hosts were wonderful and treated us with such a personal touch to make our stay and time in Granbury a perfect anniversary weekend! The gourmet breakfast was beautiful and so tasty. The photos can't do this place justice. It is beautiful in every corner of every room.

Breakfast was excellent. Our room has a large sitting area so we opted to have breakfast there. We took advantage of a shuttle service which stopped in front to go to downtown Grandbury thereby avoiding the parking hassle.
