The owners/innkeepers recently spent two
years meticulously restoring this magnificent, historic home. Their
attention to detail makes this a delightful place for that special
getaway.
The original limestone structure was built in 1856 as a stagecoach stop when Burnet was in its infancy. Then it became the Calvert house, a hotel, and the home of the Galloway family. We are proud to come full circle and once again offer travelers a welcome respite as The Verandas Guest House.
A restored hand-dug well on the veranda once quenched the thirst of horses and travelers of long ago. Today the well supplies water for the water garden and Koi pond.
A picturesque, Monet style bridge has come to life with the help of a local craftsman. The bridge is a popular spot for taking photographs. Selecting each stone bordering the edge of the pond was done by the previous owners from stones on their ranch.
