Great location and view of the lake. Spacious and nice furnishings. We both enjoyed the downtown area and the walking trails. The home had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.
My sister and I get away a couple times of year just to relax. This facility was perfect for that. I was out walking and came across a house that use to be a confederate hospital built in 1836. I didn't realize we would be in a historic district. We were close to a lot of good eating places so I don't know about the kitchen. I never used it except to make coffee in the mornings. That's what you do on vacation.
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 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!!!
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.
Loved staying at the historic jailhouse! Great location and amenities, close to town, love the outdoor covered deck, and the view is fabulous! Extremely clean and comfortable, will absolutely stay again!
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.
We loved our stay. The property is beautiful and very comfortable. We loved the views of the sunrise over the lake. The house has all you will need for your stay including condiments, spices, and sweet goodies to make if you want to cook. There was no dishwasher, but we didn’t mind that. The fact that it was a historic jail was an added bonus.
My husband and I stayed a few nights and what a view at sun rise. Toured a few historic homes and a day trip to Providence Canyon. House was closes enough to walk to dinner and the local trail.
Good location and close to town. Everything you might need only minites away. The house was very quiet and had everything available for home cooking. Property manager was very polite and helpful.
I enjoyed my stay.
Especially unique getaway! Old Eufaula Jail stay experience relaxing and very enjoyable! 5 Stars!
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.
I loved waking up to the sunrise over the Lake. So beautiful and relaxing ❤️
