Historic Home: Walking distance to historic square, beach, & hiking trail!


Heavenhill, built in the 1890s, is not your typical home away from home! Quirky and quiet yet so close to the square it is a perfect set up for a family, girls' weekend, or even for writers and journalists. Shelbie, an interior designer and historic preservationist, wanted to keep the historic integrity of the home yet make it comfortable for modern times.

The cottage boasts two bedrooms (Gallery Room: full Bed and Quilt Room: two twin beds) with two full bathrooms including a fully equipped kitchen, living room, and pantry/utility room with a washer and dryer. An old, enormous pecan tree shades the comfortable back porch stocked with quality rocking chairs and a patio with a picnic table. If you like to cook out…well there is also a grill for anyone to use!

The base prices is for double occupancy. Additional guests’ fee is $25/guest/night plus hotel tax. Please make sure to specify the correct number of guests for your visit. Children of all ages are considered an additional guest.

Heavenhill is in walking distance to Hewlett Park and the City Beach (seriously just MINUTES!). If you like antiquing, then you are in luck! Heavenhill & Witherspoon’s Antique Mall share backyards! Located just 3 blocks from the square, you can do almost everything by foot or bike! If you like to take long walks or ride your bike then you can hop on “The Moments in Time” hike and bike trail which is right in front of Hh!

I have exterior security cameras placed around the premises. I do not have any cameras inside the cottage.

Hometown 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Granbury has all the events for a fun patriotic 4th. The Heavenhill cottage was adorable, historical, quaint, charming, lovely, well appointed and within walking distance. The details in its restoration are amazing and the modern bathrooms are perfect! Shelbie was a wonderful and gracious hostess.

Charming cozy home

The home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Everything about the house was warm and inviting. It’s the kind of place you hate to leave and want to come back and stay again. Hospitality was wonderful and communication with the host was great. Shelbie did an amazing job with the house. I’m definitely glad we stayed. It was worth it. Thank you very much for everything.

Absolutely AMAZING

This place is a perfect getaway especially if you enjoy historical homes. Shelbie has done an amazing job preserving the history of the home while balancing the modern expectations of her visitors. She was super easy to contact, reached out to us to check in making sure everything was fine and even went above and beyond by sending us a list of fun things to do in Granbury. She knew we had our 10 year old so she shared things that we could all enjoy. We will definitely stay here again and we HIGHLY recommend Shelbie and her hidden gem in Granbury.

Nice and convenient to activities

Perfect weekend getaway walking distance to lake and park and the downtown area. Kitchen a bit small but sufficient for breakfast omelets and pancakes along with tacos for a stay at home dinner. Treats available on arrival, kids loved that, and the games and videos kept us entertained before bedtimes. Two baths and the distance between bedrooms is a plus as it provides a bit of privacy. And the antique shops and the edge of the property make for some interesting exploring. It was a perfect spot for us grandparents with two grandchildren, 9 and 6, in tow. Very quiet at night with nice walking and jogging trails at the edge of the property. We would stay there again.

Quaint

Loved the old house but there are a few things that could use some improvement. The master bed could be larger, needs more coffee cups and cookware, living room furniture fits the time period look but uncomfortable to sit on for very long and the bathroom mirrors are very hard to see in. All in all the house was a fun place to stay. Just needs a few things to make it more comfortable and functional.

Adorable historic house!

We just loved this place! This historic home is just filled with comfort and charm. And you can't beat the location. Close enough to walk to the square, and just far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle. We loved the covered patio out back with comfortable rocking chairs. We will be back.
