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.

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.

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!

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!

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
