The Ponderosa Bunkhouse, Minutes from Lake Martin! | Cottage in Eclectic
1 Bedroom Cottage in Eclectic
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 a 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. It is a double dog trot home with 2 different guest suites, each with a separate entrance. There is a Queen size bed, a dresser, wardrobe, Keurig coffee maker, mini fridge, and a full bathroom. Fresh linens, soaps, and towels are provided. Enjoy a fire around the fire pit or clean your 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 have a kayak delivered. 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.
Please be aware that the other part of the home can be rented out to a maximum of 6 guests. The only areas that are potentially shared with the other guests are the porches, the fire pit and grill area, and the yard for parking/leisure. If you need more space, please message us for availability.
This home is over 100 years old and is a historical home. The owners have kept it's historic charm and this space is intended for a laid back stay. This is NOT a modernized home with modernized updates. Please do not expect the Ritz Carlton. You will have everything you will need in a clean, unique, and peaceful environment. We hope you see the charm and love it as much as we do.
