This turned into a fun memorable stay for my nieces wedding. Perfect spot to have everyone together. The suites were amazing and the jail cells worked out well for the youngsters.

Second year in a row our family members have gathered here. Great space for 25+ to stay. The Jailhouse theme is so much fun. The hosts are so accommodating! Just a great time!

We had a large group of 18 that stayed for nearly a week. This location was the perfect size for us and provided plenty of room. It was a beautiful and interesting space that everyone enjoyed learning the history. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

I’ve stayed here 2 times now, the first time for a wedding in town and now for a business getaway. This place doesn’t disappoint. It has some pretty cool history and is a short jaunt to downtown. I’d highly recommend it!

It was great, loved, loved, loved. There were a few things that would have made it better, it would have been nice to have more seating for big groups in the mail cells, and the plants trimmed on the gazebo area for more seating. But over all 5 stars!!

I booked this for a low-key bachelorette party for a large group. I have nothing but good things to say about our experience, it was awesome! The house is beautiful and well-cared for, the beds are comfy, and the jail portion is so fun! It was large enough for our group and still felt relaxing and homey. The kitchen is amazing as well. Communicating with the property manager was excellent and they replied super quickly and were very helpful. 10 out of 10 will recommend to everyone!

Would have been helpful to have a manual on how to operate the ac system, the whirlpool tub, Wolf range. The refrigerator had not been cleaned. Had a Murder mystery dinner and the Inn was part of the setting. People in town were friendly with the exception of the brewery. It was handy to have restaurants menus available to review. Kids want to come back.

Our entire family, including one fiancee, spent five nights and days in the Elkader Jail House Inn. At first arrival, everyone headed for the cells to examine and mostly laugh about good stories to make up and later tell friends. Dinner was late that night. We had several meals in the jail (all of the breakfasts) but we also liked several of the area restaurants. Of course we brought pizza in twice. The facility was adequate for all 18 of us. It was clean, well-supplied with toiletries, cooking pots and pans as well as dishes etc. and all appliances were in good working order. The central location in Elkader was very nice and the elevated views were excellent. It would have been even more pleasant if there had been soft furniture and placed so more could lounge together but this is but a minor failing. All of us truly enjoyed our visit there and would highly recommend it for your family or group stay.

Fantastic!!! The most unusual and exciting place we’ve stayed yet! Everyone, young and old, enjoyed it immensely. It accommodated our large group of 20 to 27 at any given time. Thank you guys for an exceptional time with family! You operate a top notch jailhouse!

Staying at the Jailhouse was fun. It was themed. There was even things to take pictures as inmates and some historical information. Also we went kayaking locally. Lots of fun and a good lot for yard games.
