Great option for the area. Walk to all key attractions and the staff were amazing.
4.0 / 5.0
It was clean and everyone was so polite and friendly. The only negative was that there was a definite odor from cigarettes permeating into the room. Both my wife and I are allergic to tobacco smoke and there was no mistaking it. The lady at the desk gave us a bottle of room spray which helped a little but we both had stuffed sinuses each morning.

What an awesome B & B!! We had the garden suite and it was adorable. The history of the jail was very interesting and we loved the garden in the back. Breakfast in the garden was so enjoyable. The owner and family were simply so kind and helpful. I would recommend for a stay here!!

If you’re ever in the area, you should definitely stay here. Friendly staff and a nice breakfast. Rooms are a good size. Pete is nice and funny.

Apparently I must have requested to stay in a "cell" At first it seemed like a lark,but it was like being in a basement and very crude. I could put up with that, but because it was an old cell, it had been retrofitted as a room, but I was leary of the shower stall floor opting not to use it as it seemed rough and didn't seem clean. As the night progressed, I became a bit claustrophobic and began worrying about fire hazard. There was no one around and I felt like I was very much alone,

Other than the nightly motion light going brighter when both my husband and I were in bed and no one else was in the room, everything was great!! Possible "visitation" that caused the motion light at the base of the bathroom brighten by itself? Great story to bring back with us. Breakfast offerings were delicious and easy to replicate at home --- thanks for the idea and presentation!! staff were great!!!

The room that I rented I must admit that I was informed that it was the Bare minimums no frills . I just wish I could have seen another room , or at least had a full length mirror and the bathroom was clean and updated . I LOVE MAX though

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Jailer’s Inn! It’s a very quirky B&B with tons of history and a very interesting back story. The staff was incredible! Quick to offer any help they could provide, answer questions and provide recommendations for the area which is easily walkable besides the distilleries on the outer portion of town. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about everything going on in town. Paul, the owner/operator was passionate about the history of the place and always had a smile and story. Great experience!

We booked the jail cell room and the bed was cozy and it was a unique experience. Surprisingly not a lot of dining options, so we walked 0.5 miles to Toogie's Table which was AMAZING. The hosts give a jail tour after breakfast, which was delicious and tasty.

This was the nicest B&B I've ever stayed in. The jail tour was unique and entertaining. The room was the most comfortable room and bed that I've ever stayed in. I will certainly be back.

The folks running the In were very nice. Paul's dad joke and stories were entertaining. We stayed there on a Thursday night and the town rolled up its sidewalks pretty early.
We stayed in the Victorian Room. Only two issues. While the walls are very thick and quiet, the door to the room could have been knocked door by a hyper 12 year old. Secondly, the bed mad a lot of noise (no not for the reasons many of your are thinking) just getting in or out or moving around.

A very unique experience that I highly recommend if you are coming to the area. The Jailers Inn has loads of charm and history. Rooms were fabulous, spacious and nicely decorated. The staff is the best, breakfast were so yummy, and homemade . Eating was in a courtyard grotto! Watch out for Maximum Security, he’s the guard rabbit and will be your friend for blueberries! Surrounding area plenty of restaurants to walk too and shops to shop!

No water at bar/ mini kitchen sink in family suite. Faucet off?? Had to move a lamp to have lighting in that area of suite.
Breakfast french toast raw dough. And served on salad plate instead of slightly larger luncheon plate. (I have same place setting/dish pattern) Not enuf coffee immediately available at breakfast table. Told by host we should have made coffee in our suite.
Left an item in our room and called back to ask about it. Waiting for return call 20 hrs later.
But beds very comfy. Shower great. Sitting room lovely. Ambience charming and tour interesting and fun.

What a great spot to visit and stay. The town was great, people were great and had good food too. Its a small town so make sure thats what you are looking for… it was exactly what we were looking for. The staff at the hotel were great! Welcoming, kind, informative & very friendly. Breakfast and the tour was amazing.
