Eufaula Lake Info (Howe: estate, homeowners association, maintenance)

[horod]

Any one know of Piney Creek at this lake? I am currently looking for a lake view or lot close to the lake. I have seen some auction stuff on Piney Creek, and the property seems pretty cheap so I am thinking there is a catch, any info would be great or if you have some property to sell I would be interested.

Thanks, hotrod

Piney Creek is just outside the town of Eufaula. It's very small little lots for campers and such....I haven't been out there in awhile, I don't know if there are any cabins out there now or not. It's pretty much used for a little camping lot for people on the weekends. I'm not sure exactly what kind of info you are looking for on it....

Last year (Sept) my husband & I were looking for lots in Piney Creek area and couldn't find (was like a wild goose chase). Instead we came upon lots (3 acres min) at the Hidden Ridge Estates, one of which we purchased - a 3 acre w/panoramic lakeview (Eufaula Lake). Most of the lots are either lake view or lake front. Our house is currently under construction, and hope to move out there soon.

We own lake lots at Piney Creek. It is an area right off of Highway 9. If you get off of I-40 on at the Eufaula exit, go through town towards the dam. You will follow across two big bridges that cross the lake. Watch for a little store that looks like a cabin called "Pixie Woods." When you get there, turn left, and go for a few miles. Piney Creek will be on your left-hand side. It has a community boat dock, several bath houses, a swimming pool, and a nice beach area. The lots are typically 40x100.

Piney Creek used to have a homeowners association for lack of a better term, with lots of rules, including how big your rv could be, how old, the types of structures, how many nights you can stay in a row, etc. Apparenty, the association has broken up and moved away, because now there are folks literally living there. We still pay the maintenance fees, but the rules are gone. On some of the streets up towards the front, there are places that literally look like a dump - unfortunately one of them is about three lots down from our first set of lots. We haven't been there in a while and have decided to sell them because it's not safe for our kids to be out playing around that mess. On either side of us though, are some really cute, well maintained cabins with fences around them. So not all the lots are bad. And, we have a camper on our lot that we apparently left unlocked for over two years, and not one item in it was ever disturbed. I like that.

However, there are some really nice places up towards the lake. People have done a lot of neat things with some of their cabins and madethem really cool. If you can find a lot in this area, it'd be a blast.

We have some really great memories at Piney Creek. I hope you're able to find a great place there. And when you're in Eufuaula, be sure to go to the floating restaurant for lunch - bring extra bread to feed the HUGE fish that swim up for scraps, and stop at a neat store called "BOY HOWDY." We love these places in town.

I'm amused........After returning from an outing at Piney Creek, I decided to see what information has been said about it........and low and behold my daughter had posted about the " get away" place a year ago.

Hotrod, if you're still interested in at least one lot at Piney Creek, I've got 4. ( 2 are joined and located near bathhouse 1 ( where the swimming pool is located); 2 are joined near bathhouse 4 and have a cabin " shell" on one of them that overlooks the lake from a distance...visible from the loft. The cabin is small, but strudy. Email me if you're interested. Thanks, Liz

I have a lot in Piney Creek , it is nothing fancy but the people are friendly and it is close to the lake and reasonably priced . As with some of these developments they have had some problems but I think they are on the mend . There are some lots that people have chosen to live there and they do not keep it clean , but they are few compared to the nice lots especially if you get one close to the water . There is a pool and several bathhouses .
