Whether
you want to get away from it all or get involved
in some of the great events here
in Florence, Alabama, The
Veranda on Walnut is the bed & breakfast
where you can do it all. Sit and relax
by the Tennessee River, tour the University
of North Alabama campus, take a carriage ride
through downtown Florence, dance in the streets
during the W.C.Handy Festiaval, golf and fish
all day long, or do nothing at all besides
relax. This is an area full of great
choices. Find out more about this area
(known as the Shoals) here.
Upon your arrival to The
Veranda on Walnut, you will enter
through an ivy-covered arch over the fleur-de-lis
designed black wrought iron gate. This iron
fence surrounds the entire front and side
of our landscaped lawn. Linger on the covered
front porch where you are surrounded by old-fashioned
Jackson vine and Carolina Jasmine. And you
can enjoy it all from a relaxing wicker swing
or black wrought iron table and chairs while
you have afternoon tea or early morning coffee.
You will be greeted by your innkeepers, Ron
and Doris Ross, and you will be surrounded
by beautiful antiques as you enter the foyer.
Many guests before you have stood in this
same spot to register for their special room
upstairs.
The Veranda on
Walnut Bed and Breakfast, built
circa 1915, is a stately white-columned
two-story
with covered veranda above
and covered
porch below. This lovely home has
been listed on
the National Register of Historic places
since 1976. We are located in the Walnut
Street Historic District, which is
just one of the many historic districts
in Florence,
Alabama. Florence is known as "The
Renaissance City" and was named
for Florence, Italy.
Come along, climb the stairs with your host
and hostess and they will show you to the special room that
you have chosen.
