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.

Super cool place to stay, great view, private, cool history. Love the little descriptions hanging in the walkway that give a glimpse into the past. Had everything we needed. Clean, cute, awesome vibe for me and my boyfriend for his birthday trip! Close enough to kolomoki state park and providence canyon, great little walking trail 2 mins from the place as well.

Unique Stay on Lake Eufaula!If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, look no further than this historic gem! It's not every day you get to stay in an accommodation that was once a jailhouse decades ago—talk about a unique history! The real standout is the location and view...a gorgeous overlook of Lake Eufaula. Watching the sunrise over the water was the perfect way to start the day.This property is a must-book for anyone who appreciates history, charm, and stunning views. Highly recommend!

Our most unique and charming accommodations yet. The unit was clean and well equipped, in keeping with their reasonable price point. (We’ve stayed at rentals with thicker towels, higher thread count sheets, and higher end pots and pans, but the price was triple) We had everything we needed! The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly. They have truly done a beautiful job restoring this old time jail. It is the only time we’ve been incarcerated and we loved it. Ha! The property has a grand and glorious tree full of Spanish moss and acorns. Initially, the falling acorns on the roof were a tad startling, until we realized what it was and then we laughed because it was quirky and fun. The view is beautiful, although the water is not accessible. It was a delight to step back in time, slow down and enjoy this sweet, quiet, quaint southern town. I want to make a mention of another review that stated they were uncomfortable with the bars on one door and the all the windows; in case of a fire. We often vacation in a high-rise condo, on the beach. There’s only one way out in that situation also. In our opinion, the bars added an additional layer security and stay true to its history.

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 place is beautiful! Fully stocked with everything you could need. Very clean. I loved watching the sunrise over the lake. We visited some mansions, went to the canyon and ate at local eateries. The locals are so friendly and love to talk about Eufaulas history, let them know you are staying at the old jail and you will learn some fun/interesting facts about it. I did contact the host about extending my check out by a couple hours (i really didnt want to go home) he got back to me really quick :)This was a wonderful respite from big city living. My husband and I will definitely be coming back to the old jail soon!

Beautiful place, but, there was a couple of things that concerned me a little. The bedrooms were closest to the front door (the solid jail door) and owner prefers that you do not try to open it. If there was ever a fire it would be very tricky getting out. Second, not a good place for small children unless a partial chain link fence was put up at the bluff

A Jewel on the Bluff

We came to Eufaula to hike Providence Canyon. Not knowing anything about the area, I think we hit the jackpot when I chose this house. Traveling with my family which includes two 20 something sons. This old jail looks impressive from outside and is even more impressive from the inside. Beautifully decorated and super comfortable. We also checked out the local history of Eufaula. Great little gem!

The overall stay was really nice. It had a fairly beautiful scenery. It was great that it was close to town and activities.coffee, towels, dishes, and towels ready and available.We were a little disappointed that we were more on a cliff and had not access to the water from the actual location. The trees and plants need to be cut back some. They were overgrown and were hanging on my car and in our faces. It took forever for the house to cool down. It still stayed hot in the back bedroom, even with the fans that were provided.

Had the best time! The house has everything you need and the location is great. Views of the Chattahoochee at night and in the morning were the perfect start and end to our days. The location is perfectly to explore all that Eufaula has to offer. Highly recommend hiking Providence Canyon in GA while you’re there! We hope to be back.
