Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Romelia C. Feb 13, 2022 11:27:09 AM

Summary: 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.

Sabahudin Jan 28, 2022 08:32:56 PM

Summary: Historical building. Nice room. Amazing bathroom. Beautifully renovated.

Dan S. Jan 23, 2022 06:02:13 AM

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Elaine B. Jul 8, 2021 09:16:08 PM

Summary: 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

Kayla M. Mar 11, 2021 01:24:26 AM

Summary: 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 ❤️

Rashell A. Feb 24, 2021 09:27:17 PM

Summary: Very relaxing and homily

Christina B. Nov 2, 2020 03:21:20 AM

Summary: 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.
