Just Book a Reservation Already!

This unique place has it all: charm, class, comfort, beauty, and fun. When you first walk in, you are greeted with a gorgeous staircase leading to most of the rooms. Our room was spacious, with a luxurious bathroom. The gourmet kitchen is equipped for anything and everything with seating for eight. The adjoining dining room has a large table with additional seating and windows lining two walls. And clean! This VRBO was impressively clean! I have to say the jail was a little eery after dark, but it didn't stop us from watching a football game, playing cards and shuffleboard, and exploring the jail cells. The jail is attached to the back of the main building, so you can actually stay here without even seeing the jail itself, but make sure you don't miss it. Check in was a breeze. Parking was plentiful. The grounds are well maintained and very pretty. This would be a great place to stay for a family reunion or holiday. We found the people of Elkader to be friendly and helpful. The downtown area is easily walkable with old buildings that have been beautifully renovated. Stop in at GEAR for breakfast and a great cup of coffee. We definitely recommend you give the Jailhouse a try!

Historic fun place to stay

Nice amenities, would have appreciated instructions for use of TV and hot tub. All TV options had low or no signal. Jets in Hot tub kept coming on after draining - random buttons finally set timer to 0 but have no idea how.

Relaxing

Very beautiful and interesting property. Navigation took us to the back door, so getting in was tricky. I loved the cleanness of the place and the coziness of our bedroom.

Winter Getaway

My girlfriend and I had the whole place to ourselves and that was a treat. Although, the inn would be wonderful for a murder mystery party setting. The history of the place naturally creates a mild spooky vibe that we adored. Shelly from the portrait was very accommodating, but I could swear she kept moving her faceless doll around. Odd. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The Botanical's bathroom and tub are dreamy. Bathroom was very clean (although the cleaning fee for two nights was steep) and the kitchen was generously equipped. Elkader is a charming town. Be sure to stop by GEAR Elkader for breakfast, Schera's for dinner, TD's for late night grub, and Turkey River Mall for hours of great antiquing.

Nice home with many antiques and much character.

I loved the main home n my room. Awesome bathroom. found the jail room interesting but would rather have tv in room. The bed in room was not comfortable since i prefer a firm mattress.

Review

No elevator so carrying suitcases up steep stairs not good. No one there to answer questions - no breakfast. Three nights I was all by myself which was a tad unnerving. Unable to control temp in my room - cold every night. There 7 days & no housekeeping. This could be a charming place but you need people on property

Weekend getaway

My husband and I looked for a weekend getaway and came across this. The home was beautiful as was the surrounding area. We would love to come back again during a different season and see the area when the vegetation is blooming ❤️

Quiet peace in a piece of history

The Renovated old jailhouse was just what we were looking for. We had 2 goals in our search for a vacation place: a hot tub/ jacuzzi tub and quiet peace without being crowded by people. We enjoyed the room, shuffleboard, history of the building and the small beautiful town. I would recommend this to others and stay here again.

Great central location for NE Iowa

My husband and I had a great stay in Elkader. The property was clean and well stocked on everything you need for a getaway. The check in/out instructions were clear and the hosts were quick to respond to questions. The building itself is full of historical charm and located in a great spot to explore NE Iowa. We will definitely return.

Motorcycle Trip to see the colors!

This place was so amazing. Character, clean and unique. The gourmet kitchen was very unexpected. The large soaking tub is what sold me.. and I got my money’s worth!

Interesting place to stay. We enjoyed it and will definitely stay again. It would be great with a group of friends and rent the entire place out for a quick weekend trip.

lovely surprise

The bathroom was amazing and the bedroom was lovely. The wireless lock set up made it easy to come and go. We ordered pizza and enjoyed it on the sunny and comfortable porch. The remodel of the jailhouse is well done.
