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.

The Retreat
We enjoyed the property. The back yard was spacious, but the yard is basically overgrown with weeds and clover. There may have been rain, but it seemed that the sprinkler created mud and the yard needed to be mowed. Wasp nests were under the eaves of the roof and in the windows off the front and back porch. We purchased spray and used it, but there were additional nests and they need to be addressed. Thanks, Mark.

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!
