1890 Captain's House
on the Lake

Lake Granbury Texas Bed and Breakfast are among the best! And this 1890 Captain's House has been selected as one of the TOP TEN properties in Texas for romantic and relaxing get-a-ways. 1890 Captain's House is located on Lake Granbury, just a short stroll from the Historic Square. James Hogan Doyle, a founding father of Granbury, who was also a decorated Civil War Hero, purchased the property in 1876. The early settlers affectionately nicknamed him "Captain". The original lower floor was built in the early 1880's, and the upper additions were completed by 1900.

1890 Captain's House offers three beautifully decorated Victorian suites and one charming room, all with private baths and one with a Jacuzzi. All guests have use of the large upstairs balcony overlooking the lake.

At the Captain's House, all guests are pampered each morning to a full, hot gourmet breakfast tray delivered to their rooms. If guests take the entire house and prefer to do so, breakfast can be served together downstairs. Daily desserts and drinks (non-alcoholic) are tempting delights to all guests.

If you are looking for a Christian-hosted property, romantic getaway, special occasion celebrations, peace and quiet in an elegant setting, that special gift certificate, a place close to all the activities, and you want to receive quality service, excellent food, and southern hospitality, then this premier bed and breakfast is reserved just for YOU!

Whatever the activity, whatever the occasion, you will be glad you chose 1890 Captain's House on the Lake. As author Jean Clairet exclaims, "1890 Captain's House... The Best of the Past to enjoy in the Present... Where pampering and excellent service is a way of life."

Your hosts, Bob and Liz Hayes, are proud to be members of the Historic Accommodations of Texas.
