Historic Home: Walking distance to historic square, beach, & hiking trail!
About this cottage rental
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.

Perfect for a birthday getaway weekend! Great location walking distance from restaurants and shopping. Home was well-appointed with everything we needed and wanted for a cozy retreat.

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.

My sisters and I stayed at Shelbie’s cottage this weekend. We got there Friday night and enjoyed a movie on her entertainment system. Saturday was for taking pictures at her wooded, natural backyard and enjoying the short walk to local shopping and historical sites. Sunday, we leisurely rose, ate and checked out. Shelbie’s cottage had plenty of teas and coffees for us ( also snacks if we wanted.) The rooms were comfortable and cute. We like what she’s done with the place. We would come back. Thank you so much, Shelbie!

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.

Shelbie has done an amazing job on this home. It is truly a labor of love. Sitting in the rockers on the back porch drinking our coffee each morning was probably our favorite part! This house is a step back in time...Shelbie didn’t miss a single beautiful detail! We enjoyed shopping the square in Granbury and went to see “Hello Dolly” at the Granbury opry Saturday night...absolutely amazing talent! If we could give this house 10 stars, we would!!!

What a great find! The house was wonderful. Historical but with all the modern conveniences. The record player was a nice touch for example. The location was perfect too. Steps away from the public beach; 5 minutes away from the town square and all the shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

We loved everything about the house, from the comfy living room to the beautiful back porch. We loved sitting on the back porch hearing the birds sing and watching the squirrels scurrying up and down the trees. The inside of the house was comfy cozy with all the amenities that we needed. Thank you for everything. We will be back.

What a wonderful treat! Loved this home and it’s history. It was adequately stocked and appointed. Tastefully decorated and dutifully clean. My family of four enjoyed our walk to the square a few times, even in the pouring rain and chilly weather. The house was a warm and dry refugee the entire weekend. We loved the sound of the rain on the metal roof, sitting in the rocking chairs on the covered porch, and drawing at the kitchen table while listening to some great records.

We stayed at Heaven Hill for a much needed mother daughter trip. We loved everything about our stay. The house was equipped with everything we needed and then some! It was very clean and organized. Shelbie has made great use of every space in the house and her decorating is top notch. The location was excellent! It was too cold to walk to the shops and the square but it certainly was do-able in better weather.
We highly recommend Heaven Hill for those needing a small, quaint place to stay close to the historic square and some great restaurants in Granbury.

When I first walked into Heavnhill, I caught my breath. It was so identical to the farmhouse my husband grew up in. I immediately felt at home. My friends were shocked that I had found such a cute, relaxing place in such a great location. We were in awe of the entire place. the porch was the icing on the cake.
The down side we had was the furniture in the living room was not comfortable for sitting very long, We all have knee and back issues.. The twin beds were too soft for our back issues. Loved Heavenhill, 'but don't think I could stay again more than one night.

I’ve stayed here before and loved the house with its quaint decor and perfect location to downtown and antique shopping.
The back porch was fun watching a thunderstorm go through town and the accommodations were very clean which resulted in a perfect and relaxing getaway.
Thank you Shelbie for a great weekend in Granbury!!

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.

Wedding reception
When we arrived, the home and property were exactly as advertised. We loved that it was unique, rustic and eclectic compared to most properties we've stayed. Very quiet neighborhood w/a relaxing back patio. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the back patio in the morning. The owner communicated all we needed for our stay and was very attentive. Excellent stay!

It was a lovely stay and close to the beach!
Only concern we’re the amount of bugs that snuck into the house. Two wasps, 3 beetles, and tiny bugs in the sink in the a.m.
