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.

Sweet little getaway
My husband and I brought our one year old for a little getaway. Shelbie’s house is the perfect spot to step back in time and enjoy the beauty around you. It also is in a fantastic location for anything you have planned. We were able to walk everywhere and explore the area easily. Would highly recommend Shelbie’s place!

Quaint cabin
Property manager was quick to respond. You could see the lake from the back porch. The back porch was actually my favorite place to hang out.

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.

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, and their cat live on his family farm in a 1907 farmhouse that they have been restoring for many years. We run cattle and have the largest dog in the area--our horse Shotgun :)

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!
