The Veranda is a historic property that opened in 1883 as the Lempert Hotel. The hotel is one block from the legendary Overland trail, one remnant of which is still unpaved and still in use today as a local street.
The building itself is much as it was over a hundred years ago, Its two-foot-thick walls are built of adobe. The floors are mostly oak or pine planks. Beaded pine is used for wainscoting and most of the twelve-foot-high ceilings.
The National Trust of Historic Preservation recognizes Fort Davis as one of only 12 distinctive destination sites in the United States. National Trust officials said "With no traffic lights or chain stores, Fort Davis is gateway to an unspoiled terrain, offering an extraordinary blend of majestic scenery, abundant wildlife, and cultural resources that bring to life the history of the 19th-century western frontier."
