Outstanding!

We spent three nights at the Veranda for a Family Reunion/Eclipse Viewing trip. Everyone loved it and thought it was ideal for our large group. We enjoyed boating and fishing on the private lake, walking the trails, nights by the fire circle, gathering in the gazebo, and opening the themed gift basket just for us. The owners were very generous with their time in giving us a tour of the property a few months before our visit. The caretaker was very responsive and went above and beyond in sending by mail a couple of items that we left. We came from New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Virginia and No. Carolina and it was well worth the trip. We highly recommend The Veranda!

This is East Texas!

If you have heard about the beauty of East Texas, this is it! The property is gorgeous, totally wooded with a beautiful pond. We loved the historic home and sitting on the porches or at the fire pit right next to the pond. Also the pool stays cool even during the Texas heat. We had 7 families totaling 23 adults and kids. There was plenty of room for each family to have their own space. It was perfect for us.

Rest and Relaxation

There were a few issues that the caretaker tried to help us with. You almost need a map for all the light fixtures. The master bedroom was a little warm might help to put shutters or curtains. The pool was not very clean. The gas range puts out a little odor. But after saying all that we all enjoyed our stay. Thanks for allowing us to share your house. We also enjoyed the restaurants in area and also antique shop ping.
