Brands include Under Armour, Huk, Oakley, Reef swimwear, and we are the only regional retail location for Ray Ban sunglasses.

How’s your sweet tooth? Delicious, mouthwatering desserts at…
Stumpy’s Sweet Shack
Guests with a sweet tooth can’t miss a stop at Stumpy’s Sweet Shack. Our talented bakers prepare fresh cookies, cupcakes, and desserts daily. Children rejoice, and adults remember what it’s like to be a kid with whoopie pies (vanilla, chocolate, and mint chocolate chip), classic chocolate chip cookies, and even dog-friendly pupcakes.
Visitors are treated to seasonal cookies that include snickerdoodle, peanut butter, frosted sugar, the “Annie Cookie” with sprinkles, and seasonal cupcake flavors like chocolate peanut butter, cookies and cream, vanilla, red velvet, death by chocolate, coconut, German chocolate, strawberry, lemon blueberry, wedding cake, and salted caramel.
If you haven’t found yourself in a treasure trove of desserts by now, you can move onto the brownies, rice krispies, candy, and the ultimate Texas treat: the Cowboy Cookie – a decadent cookie filled with oatmeal, pecans, coconut, chocolate chips and a touch of cinnamon.
Lake Granbury Activities and Attractions
Granbury After Dark
Every Friday and Saturday night, the Historic Granbury Merchant’s Association hosts vibrant live music, food specials, and performances at participating restaurants and venues. Stroll Historic Granbury Square on a date, with friends, or just to enjoy the sweet sensory experiences of the Granbury arts scene.
Mission Granbury
Mission Granbury serves as one of Lake Granbury Marina’s key community partners, and we add it here as a “thing to do” in Granbury because it is that vital. The nonprofit organization provides emergency assistance and a food pantry for victims of domestic abuse and families in crisis across five counties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The striking exterior of Granbury’s lavish Hotel Lucy
Creative local entrepreneur Vicki Nivens brings Granbury guests a boutique hotel experience like no other. The gorgeous adults-only Hotel Lucy is the perfect secluded spot for a girl’s weekend, romantic getaway, or Granbury wedding. Hosting visitors in 10 luxurious suites and two full house rentals, the romantic lodge facility offers a peaceful stay beside their resort-style pool on beautifully manicured grounds.
Off the Historic Square in Granbury Square Plaza is the best source of information for all things Granbury. Friendly visitor center staff can answer questions, give directions, and provide brochures and info for area attractions, entertainment venues, hotels, upcoming events, and festivals.
Looking for an elevated stay in Granbury? Spend a luxurious night at the Hilton Garden Inn, a spacious and centrally-located waterfront hotel with an indoor pool, restaurant, and 18,000 square feet of event space. The venue is within walking distance of Granbury’s historic downtown and the Granbury Opera House, with a half-hour drive to Glen Rose and Dinosaur Valley State Park and about an hour southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport.
This is the best online community for local lake goers. Members offer advice and services, sell marine equipment, post local news and events, and chat about their shared love of the water. Join the group to hear all the latest boater info and maybe catch a new friend out on the lake!
