About this property

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Quaint little cottage. Such a fun place to stay. It was so easy to walk to downtown square and across to the park and lake. So many interesting things to look at in the house and it was great to learn the history of this cottage and also the restoration of it. Perfect for my sister and I.

A Great Weekend Getaway

I needed to get out of town for a weekend and the Heaven Hill House was the perfect location to call home base. Great location, easy to get where I needed to to, and the house itself had great amenities and resources for deciding what to do. Very thankful for the chance to stay here!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Shelbie Miller

Host profile image
Shelbie is an interior designer by day and innkeeper by night?! She freelance designs for new and old construction but specializes in historic renovation/restoration. Her husband, Sam, their son Walt, and their cat live on his family farm in a 1907 farmhouse that they have been restoring for many years.

Why they chose this property

This home is very near and dear to Shelbie's heart. Her mother purchased the home in 2002 when Shelbie was just about to graduate from high school. After school Shelbie and her mother would go over to the property to peel back the layers of remodeling. One fun day we discovered a signature on the bead board ceiling that said: Josephine Heavenhill + Little Louise Miller Cross of the Heart Jan. 1, 1893. That was the day the little home was named: Heavenhill! For ten years the little home sat vacant and lonely while Shelbie went to college and started her own career and her mother ventured out west. Shelbie never forgot Hh since it was her first love (of old houses). Out of the blue, Shelbie's mother gave her a present in 2012: Heavenhill. She immediately put her whole life savings into this home to restore and share with the community.

What makes this property unique

Take a step back in time in this little gem of a cottage. Art and History come together for a unique stay in Granbury!
