About this house rental

Situated in Lake Martin, this attractive house for $115 per night is a great option for your next break. Step into a piece of history! This blue country cottage is a staple in Eclectic, AL and it is located just minutes from the lake and public boat ramp. It is perfect for an affordable place to stay while you enjoy fishing, boating, or a quiet escape in the country. It was built over 100 years ago and was originally part of a 600-acre farm. It was the home of a farmer and his family and also the town post office. The postal patrons would pull up to the back of the home on horseback to collect their mail and the remaining mail was delivered by the husband. The historic figure of Elmore County, Sheriff Holley, also lived here and his family made sure to preserve the place over the years. The new owners have decided to maintain the original character of the home and open it up to the public to enjoy the history and unique experience. The minute you walk in, it'll feel like you just walked back in time to "Grandma's kitchen." It is a double dog trot home with the living area, dining room, and kitchen on the back side of the home. With a separate entrance, there are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the front side of the home, and an additional private bedroom with its own full bath and private entrance across the hall. There is a king-size bed, a Queen-size bed, and 2 twin beds. Enjoy a fire with your best friends around the fire pit or clean the fish you caught at the lake and throw it on the grill. Make a wish in the wishing well. Schedule a mini photo shoot, or a micro-wedding. You can even order a cast iron skillet breakfast or a steak dinner, delivered right to your doorstep! This is unlike any other experience in the area; just a down-home place to lay your head at night. This home is over 100 years old and is a historical home. The owners have kept its historic charm and this space is intended for a laid back stay. This is NOT a modernized home with modernized updates, it is a very rustic style home. Please do not expect the Ritz Carlton. You will have everything you will need in a clean, unique, and peaceful environment. Also, please be mindful that this home sits next to a large pasture. Wildlife and other critters are possible at anytime. The property receives regular professional pest control. We hope you see the rustic charm and love it as much as we do.

Fun house to explore as it is 3 buildings attached by a meandering deck system. Worked well for 2 adults, might be difficult with young children; teenagers would love to have their own space which this place offers. Love the outdoor firepit,large picnic table and ever present cattle and calves!

A most unusual property in a lovely setting. The cows were certainly bonus. They enjoyed our Doodle as much as she enjoyed watching them.
