The Verandas Guest House

The owners/innkeepers have spent the past 5 years meticulously restoring this magnificent, historic home. Their attention to detail makes this a delightful destination for that special getaway. The original limestone structure was built in 1856 as a stagecoach stop when Burnet, Texas was in its infancy. It later became the Calvert House, a hotel, and the home of the Galloway family. We are proud to have come "full circle" and, once again, offer travelers a welcome respite as The Verandas Guest House. A bit of history ... A restored, hand-dug well on the veranda quenched the thirst of horses and travelers of long ago. Today, the well us used to supply water for the water garden and Koi pond. The bridge ... A picturesque, Monet-style bridge has come to life with the help of local craftsmen. The bridge is a popular spot for taking photographs. Selection of the stones bordering the edge of the pond was done by the previous owners from stones on their ranch.
