" A down-to-earth Faith Acres Bed and Breakfast offers a huge helping of Texas hospitality and is conveniently located just five minutes from Lake Granbury and the town's historic courthouse square. Built in 1918, this Granbury getaway features a Prairie-style design that rose to popularity in the Midwest before catching on in the South during the early 20th century. Once a private home, the bed and breakfast has been fully restored and amended to include all the creature comforts of a modern-day hotel. Each of four guest rooms at the inn includes a private bath, as does a special honeymoon suite which also features a Jacuzzi tub for two and a wood-burning stove. All lodging accommodations also come with an ultra-comfortable queen-sized bed and a color television. And all guests are invited to enjoy the home's spacious front porch and the outdoor hot tub that sits on the patio out back. Innkeepers Darrell and Linda serve up a hearty country breakfast and will be more than happy to suggest what restaurants you might want to check out for lunch and dinner. You'll also want to ask your hosts about their special discount rates for extended stays. Of course, you'll probably need to stay more than a couple of days anyway, because there's so much to see and do in a city renowned as "one of Texas' most well-preserved county seats." For starters, Granbury's courthouse square is home to an eclectic collection of antique shops, a 19th-century jailhouse, the Hood County Historical Museum, the Granbury Opera House (an old-fashioned playhouse), and Granbury Live (a music venue for the entire family). Other attractions of historical note include the Granbury Cemetery, Acton State Park, the Pate Museum of Transportation, the Granbury Historic Railroad Depot, the Great Race Automotive Hall of Fame, and the Brazos Old-Fashioned Drive-in & Cinema. Four outfits in town provide historical tours, and an always-eventful calendar chronicles Granbury's rich heritage with General Granbury's Birthday Celebration in March, a spectacular July 4 Fireworks Extravaganza, a Civil War re-enactment in September, the Harvest Moon Festival in October, and the Candlelight Tour of Homes in December. For those who like to recreate in a sporting way, a striper-filled Lake Granbury is great for fishing but also offers first-class swimming and boating facilities. Two championship golf courses and an ever-weaving web of nature trails for hikers, bikers, and joggers provide further diversion, and The Gulch at Granbury, a family entertainment park, boasts the world's largest miniature golf course. Your hosts at Faith Acres invite you to come sit on their porch, have a cold drink from their very own cola machine, take your shoes off, and enjoy your newfound home away from home.
