Granbury - Texas - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

Situated on Lake Granbury and nestled in the heart of the Brazos River Valley, Granbury is not a typical tourist town, but you will certainly have a vacation of a lifetime when you visit. It has a friendly atmosphere that will leave you feeling that you are going away from home.

Accommodations abound with facilities to suit every taste and budget. Stay at the Lodge of Granbury, rent a cottage, park your RV, choose one of the many bed and breakfast establishments or stay at a hotel or motel. The only problem you will have is deciding which lodgings to choose. Places to dine are just as numerous. Depending on your taste in food, you can choose American, Italian, Cajun, Mexican or regional seafood. There are many small cafés and bistros as well as the usual roundup of takeouts and fast food establishments.

Have your photo taken in period costume at the Rocking Horse where you can choose the style and have a picture in less than an hour. The Granbury Historic Railroad Depot looks very much the same as it did back in 1914 and the Hood County Jail and Museum still has the original hanging blocks in place. Enjoy a musical performance at the Granbury Opera House or take a tour by air, carriage or riverboat to see all of the important landmarks.

Festivals and fairs are held at various times during the year. For example, the Rio Brazo Art festival is usually held in early October where local works of art are juried in an exhibition. The Harvest Moon Festival in October is a time when you can take part in the scarecrow competition or purchase some of the local arts and crafts.

For outdoor enthusiasts and golfers, there are many recreational opportunities. Lake Granbury provides opportunities for all kinds of water-related activities and there are three championship golf courses where you can tee off. Take your first skydiving jump with Eagle Flight Skydiving if you crave a little more excitement. The shopping enthusiast will really delight in the many small stores for gifts, jewelery, antiques and clothing.
