Veranda Inn home

Wireless is free and is available in the inn's large reading room.


Located in mile-high Fort Davis, the Veranda Inn is a spacious inn built in 1883. This unique adobe building, with 2' thick walls and 12' high ceilings, has thirteen rooms and suites furnished in antiques and collectibles. Baths are private. A separate Carriage House is under the shade of a large pecan tree. A cozy Garden Cottage has its own porch facing the gardens and Sleeping Lion Mountain.

The inn's walled gardens and quiet courtyards shelter large verandas with rocking chairs and tables. The Veranda is a perfect setting for small retreats and conferences. Nearby are McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis National Historic Site, Davis Mountains State Park, and the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center. It is 1 1/2 hours to Big Bend National Park, 45 minutes to Balmorhea State Park, 25 minutes to Marfa (Chinati Art Foundation) and 25 minutes to Alpine (Museum of the Big Bend).
