Romantic Texas Weekend Getaway: 7 Reasons to Think Small in a Big State
Where can you go for a romantic Texas weekend getaway? Before you think Austin or Fredericksburg, we invite you to think small, intimate, and yes, even mysterious! Granbury is the one place in the big state of Texas to find a quiet getaway with the right mix of nightlife and serious kickback time. With a historical Old West tip of the hat to outlaws and gangsters like Jesse James and John Wilkes Booth (both associated with the small town), Granbury caters to tradition and the West’s folklore. It’s a big part of the town’s charm. But that’s not all Granbury has to offer couples seeking a romantic weekend getaway. Where else can you go to experience world-class entertainment and modern day fun, all with an Old World flair? Fun and relaxing, visiting Granbury will give you yet another reason to count the days until the weekend. In fact, we’ll give you seven!
Granbury Theatre Company
Think musicals and Broadway-type shows happen only in big cities? Think again! The Granbury Theatre Company has been performing critically-acclaimed plays and musicals since 1886. Today, you’ll find them in the beautifully restored – and state of the art – historic Granbury Opera House. Go. You’ll love it!
New Granbury Live
What’s a weekend getaway without some heart-pumping music? Billed as the most intimate venue in Texas, and you’ll see why Granbury Live gets consistent rave reviews!
Bull Lion Ranch & Winery
Take a walk to the Square and enjoy wine tasting at Bull Lion Ranch & Winery. Superb wine? Yes! Enjoy a flight and an afternoon together.
Granbury Texas Square
Romantic Texas weekend getaways have to include some walkabout and explore time. With more than 60 shops and restaurants, the Square holds the distinct honor as the first Texas downtown locale to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You’ll see why! It’s the perfect place to hang out, shop, and eat.
Revolver Brewery
This microbrewery is one of Granbury’s newest attractions. Enjoy tours and tastings of the brewery’s regional sips and full-flavored beers! Open Saturdays only with beer tastings and live music, 12 p.m.- 3 p.m.
Lake Granbury
Right in the heart of Granbury, you’ll find our 13-mile Lake Granbury. It’s one of three lakes that was formed when the Brazos River was dammed. Depending on the time of year, grab a fishing pole and fish off of one of the public piers. Enjoy a bite to eat at Stumpy’s or Rockin’ S Grille on the lake.
Water time is the perfect balance to a night on the town! But we’ll give you another way to enjoy it…
Enjoy Lake Granbury, the Town, and Romantic Accommodations
When you want your romantic Texas weekend getaway to have both entertainment and unwind time, book a reservation at the Inn on Lake Granbury. You’ll find luxury accommodations on beautifully landscaped grounds with a gourmet breakfast waiting for you in the morning. But that’s not all. You’ll find Adirondack chairs and swings close to Lake Granbury with spectacular views and gorgeous sunsets to enjoy. We’ve also got an outdoor hot tub that’s perfect for cool weather interludes or to relieve the heat of the day. When you’re ready to venture out, the historic downtown Square is just a short walk away for entertainment, dining, and shopping.
