Ancient trees at Granbury Texas Bed and Breakfast

We are in awe of our wonderful old trees here at the Iron Horse Inn bed and breakfast, in Granbury, Texas. The view from the kitchen door is of our 400 year old live oak. It is magnificent and proud, and it is a delight to sit in the swing beneath it and rock gently. We have two 400 year old live oaks on the property. The other is a beauty, growing just beside our new art studio.
All of the pecan trees in the garden were planted by the original owner, Lucy Cogdell when the house was built in 1905. They still produce huge crops of nuts every year!
At night it is a delight to stroll around the garden and see the trees lit up by our mercury vapor lights in each one. Or sitting in the sun room of our Cogdell Suite you feel as if you are in the trees, with the lights all around you. A very special room!.

How much history these old trees have seen.

Rich history in our Granbury Texas Bed and Breakfast

One of the things our guests are always delighted about when they come to stay with us is doing the historic tour of our old home and hearing the interesting stories of some of the family members through the generations.

This house is the largest historic bed and breakfast in Granbury Texas and it is rich in history and the most wonderful thing for me is that it has not changed much since it was built over 100 years ago. We even have many of the original pieces of furniture from the house which was built on this foundation in the 1880's! The solid oak mission dining room set is always admired by guests, as is the old four poster bed and huge 7' claw foot tub.


It was made specially for the original owner Daniel Cogdell who was 6' 4"!






This is a truly unique bed and breakfast and we would love to have you come and stay with us to experience all of the charms it has to offer! Come to Granbury Texas, enjoy the delights of a great small town and stay at a unique historic bed and breakfast. what could be more fun!
