On the lake AND in Downtown Eufaula
On the lake AND in the heart of Downtown Eufaula. Walk to shops, dining and the Yoholo Micco Trail from this great location. This historic home was built in 1882 and served as Eufaula's original town jail prior to its restoration as a city park and now a residential home. Eufaula's "Old Town Jail" is currently listed on the national register of historic places and is one of many historic structures in the town of Eufaula. Beautifully restored and renovated, the home still contains its original features, but includes all the modern amenities and comforts. You will not find a more fascinating and charming home than this, and the location can't be beat! Two bedrooms and 1 bath with 1200 sq feet of living space. Several boat launches located within minutes, and plenty of room to park your vehicles and boat. Dogs are welcome with a $50 non-refundable pet fee. Providence Canyon, AKA the Little Grand Canyon of Georgia is approx 20 miles away.

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

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.

Great place
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.
