Our one night stay in the Colonial was great, took you back in time. The staff were so friendly, especially Paul (owner) who loves to tell the history of the jail and providing a tour. The breakfast in the courtyard was so delicious and quite filling! We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Paul and staff!

The property is beautifully maintained, the historical tales are wonderfully manifested by Paul (the proprietor), and the immersive tour was incredibly well done. You can truly feel the presence of the past in the rooms and grounds and it's obvious that this treasure is in the right hands to ensure it remains a part of legend and history.

Good experience at the Jailer's Inn

We had a fun stay at the Jailer's Inn! Location is excellent, breakfast was delicious both days we were there, SUPER comfy bed, and great tour of the jail included in stay! It was very cool - hard to believe the jail was operating til 1987, I think, not so long ago! The room we stayed in was nice, but a little musty. But overall, had everything we needed, was a good experience, would stay here again.
