Beautiful View

This place is beautiful the pictures don’t do it justice. The view of Lake Eufaula can be seen from from the living room, porch, and both bedroom’s. The host communicates well. We loved this place and will definitely book again.

A perfect getaway

We loved the charm and uniqueness of the property. The close proximity to restaurants, boutiques and coffee/ice cream shops was also a plus. The property manager was very responsive answering questions in advance and during our stay. We will definitely book again if we travel through the area.

Cozy historic house with beautiful view!

Our family of 4 had a great time! The historic house has old charm with new amenities (upgraded HVAC, instahot, new appliances, etc). The Yoholo Micco walking trail and downtown area is within a reasonable walking distance. Beautiful view of the lake and we ate dinner on the porch every night.

The stay was good, our disappointment was the town was really run down which is was not expected. We came to fish and visit the town which we had wanted to do for along time. And the weather was not great either.

Great views

A very unique, historical property that overlooks Lake Eufaula. Clean, comfortable, well outfitted, great views and in walking distance to town, where we enjoyed eating at the Eufaula Sandwich Shop and the Cajun Corner.

Great Holiday Stay

My husband, mother-in-law and I stayed at the property to visit our adult sons that live near the area. Everyone loved the property. We loved the historical value, how clean it was, the views, the amount of space and the neighborhood. The view of the lake is so gorgeous! The full kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast every morning and have everyone over for Christmas dinner. We would highly recommend the property.

Quaint Lakeside Cottage

Really neat little place. The nostalgia of the old jailhouse added to its charm. Close to downtown shopping and dining. Providence Canyon is a short drive away and a must when visiting the area. We will be back to stay again.

Beautiful weekend at Lake Eufala.

Loved the cute house "former jail". We had a beautiful weekend in this adorable little town. Enjoyed the water view. A couple things to note; no dishwasher, but thankfully we ate out. The bed was high off the ground and hard to get in and seemed smaller than a double bed width wise. We would still come back to this adorable place. Also, lots of road noise; the house is next to a busy road and a lake with boats.

Historic Stay

When I booked this stay, I wanted something on the water and close to town. This is the perfect combination! We loved the “jail” house and the history. We are so thankful for the preservation of this piece of history and the owner’s willingness to share this rare and special house. Host let us know early that the house was ready which we appreciate and they are willing to extend check out if there’s no one coming that day. Would definitely stay here again.

Early fall at the jail

Enjoyed most things about this property BUT, if I may offer a few suggestions— The bar stools are too HIGH to sit comfortably at the beautifully large island Front door is difficult to open-door sticks We would definitely come back here. Thanks for a lovely time

Peaceful

Beautiful and peaceful! I can't say one negative thing about this home. It was very clean and comfortable, and it had all the amenities necessary for an enjoyable stay. The view of the lake was awesome whether watching early morning or at night when the moon is reflecting on the water . This is the perfect place if your looking for serenity.

Exceptionally clean, very accommodating and Downtown walking distance. We soaked up every minute of our little getaway. Not disappointed in any way. Owner communication spot on with prompt replies. Absolutely beautiful overlook of the Lake/River. Makes for a very peaceful and relaxing getaway.
