About Jane and Jack Brunson
Jack is an Elba native and works locally with an insurance company. Jane is a CPA and serves on the Elba City Council. We enjoy the benefits of small town life and enjoy welcoming visitors to Elba for business or pleasure.
Jane and Jack Brunson purchased this Lodge in 2013
Why Jane and Jack Brunson chose Elba
This property on the banks of Pea River has been the home to members of the extended Brunson family for over 100 years. When the house became vacant, we thought it was ideally situated for a small Bed & Breakfast lodge to provide much needed overnight accommodations in Elba.
What makes this Lodge unique
Conveniently located just off US Hwy 84 near downtown Elba, this spot on the banks of the river gives The Lodge a remote and peaceful atmosphere. The small mid-century house has original pine paneling with a completely renovated bath and kitchen and a new full bathroom, along with freshly painted and decorated rooms. Free internet is available. If you have time for recreation, The Lodge is within walking distance of the public boat launch on Pea River, and canoe and kayak rentals are available year-round by reservation.

Peace, love and nostalgia
A block from downtown.
Right off of Hwy. 84. But ahhhhhh .... The Lodge on Pea River is so tranquil, one could be convinced one was enjoying a getaway far away.
The three-bedroom, two bath home was the perfect place for long-time friends to reconnect on a recent class reunion weekend. Many "Elba" touches in this home will make former residents nostalgic for days gone by, and the book selection beckons readers to unplug.
The keepers of The Lodge have thought of everything to make guests' visits comfortable: Excellent wi-fi, good television channel selection, a Keurig with plenty of coffee choices, and great spaces for visiting. From the continental breakfast selections to the extra toothbrush available for forgetful ones, the accommodations are as welcoming as the home of a good friend. The specially branded shea butter soaps from Boll Weevil Soap Company are just one of the many details that will make one fall in love with this place. Most of us aren't home yet, and we're already planning our next gathering. Book it now. You'll be so glad you did.
Perfect in every way!
What a find! We’ll definitely stay here again on our next trip to Elba. Comfy, cozy, thoughtfully furnished, and generously supplied with breakfast essentials! Great outdoor area with wood burning fire pit, swing and lounge chairs. Perfect in every way for our family gathering.
Thanks for the very nice review and we look forward to having you back again!
We had such a nice time here and felt so spoiled. Wonderful place to stay.
We visited Elba because my family has roots there from way back and I wanted to visit the area and especially my Grandfather’s grave. Jane and Jack have a beautiful little place - we loved Jane’s sense of style! And she spoiled us with great breakfast and snack foods, we thoroughly enjoyed them. The beds were very comfortable and we slept great. Thanks to Jane and Jack for making our stay so nice. We really hated to leave and Definitely want to come back some day.
Perfect getaway!
My family of 6 (4 kids) stayed here and it was an absolute great stay. The lodge was comfortable for everyone and very clean. A 5 minute walk to a great kayaking/canoeing place at a reasonable price and a 5 minute drive into town. The owners checked on us and made sure everything was good. Nice scenery, fire pit, basketball, and the house is has everything you need to stay. Upon arrival we had fresh fruit and other foods (breakfast foods) for the stay waiting for us. We are already planning our next visit. If you are planning on visiting this area or close by this is your place to stay.
Great place for family stay close to Fort Rucker
We stayed here for 5 nights during a family members week of warant Officer graduation. We also traveled with our 90 year old grandfather, so this was so much better than staying in a hotel. Much more comfortable! The breakfast items were a great touch. The owners even checked in a couple times and offered to go to the store to get us whatever we needed. They did everything to ensure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. We couldn’t have been happier.
We would definitely recommend this place to anyone. It was about a 30 minute drive to the army base, but the area of Elba felt much nicer than staying in Daleville. It was also nice to be able to grill out at the house and have dinner/lunch a few times at the house vs eating out everyday.
On another trip we would stay there again.
Thank you for all your hospitality!
We are always proud to have military families stay at The Lodge and are glad that you enjoyed your stay and the visit with your graduate. It was nice meeting you and we appreciate the review.
Amazing
Loved this adorable house! Owners are very sweet, house is very clean and cozy we will be back!! Highly recommended!
Map
We're just a 2 hour drive from Panama City Beach and the Beaches of South Walton, making this a good stop the night before your vacation check-in. We're also only 30 minutes south of Troy University, so The Lodge is a great place to stay for football weekends. Visiting a family member stationed at Fort Rucker? We're located about 30 miles west of Fort Rucker, and it's an easy 40-45 minute drive.
