About the property:

The idea of living amidst a forest is perhaps one of the rarest of joys. The Verandah In The Forest, in Matheran, longs to make it a reality for you. Credited as the last hill station left by the British, Matheran is inimitable in many ways. It can be explored on foot while the beautiful foliage refreshes you gently.The Verandah is an old 19th century house, which has been remodelled into a stunning resort. The furnishings and the settings in the rooms are reminiscent of the olden times, yet you won’t miss out on any of the modern comforts.It’s an experience of conversing with the forest. You will be able to leave monotony way behind and simply surrender to the benignity of nature. Sit in the patio with a cup of tea, play some soft music in the background and allow the soothing lushness to touch you.Though the quaintness of Verandah resort would keep you from going out, there are lots of scenic spots in Matheran that you might want to linger at, such as Charlotte Lake, Panorama Point and Echo Point to name a few.The Verandah is your rendezvous with the forests of Matheran.
