With high ceilings, spacious rooms, and a huge master closet, you might even forget you’re “in the clink”! An air mattress is available for up to two additional guests.

Choose from one of four suites, each overflowing with character, luxurious beds, and spa-like bathrooms. Guests enjoy access to the gourmet kitchen, scenic patio, and the property’s most iconic feature: the original cell block. Authentic jail cells, historical artifacts, and memorabilia make this a stay you won’t soon forget. Don’t forget to take your mugshot!
Traveling with a group? Rent the entire Jailhouse for up to 20 guests—perfect for weddings, family gatherings, or weekend getaways. It should be a crime not to stay here!

- Air mattress available for up to 2 extra guests
- Off-site hosts available 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM, 24/7 for emergencies
