On the lake AND in the heart of Downtown Eufaula. Walk to shops, dining and the Yoholo Micco Trail from this great location.

Loved this property, was actually bigger than I anticipated. Views from property out to the lake are beautiful. Walkable distance to downtown & trails. Loved it was pet friendly. The only thing I would suggest, which is minor, is screening in the patio area.
This property was amazing. Close to Providence Canyon State Park that we were there to visit. Eufaula has a cute downtown area to also visit and beautiful old homes!! Lots of history. Would definitely stay here again if ever in the area and recommend this property for a unique experience!!! On the water with a beautiful view!!!
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.
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.
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.
We stayed in preparation for our wedding, and it was the most beautiful view of lake Eufaula. We will be staying again! The host was extremely nice and prompt to one of my late night messages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
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.
This was a great place to stay, it had the best view of the water and was located a perfect distance to downtown. I will definitely be back and I can't thank Brett enough for his stellar hospitality!
This place is Beautiful ! Location is great and the little downtown area is within walking distance and has some of the best restaurants! We ate at the Mexican Jalisco and the Cajun Corner both were excellent! Also had coffee at the Pecan gift shop. We will be back.
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.
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.
