Botanical Suite at Elkader JailHouse Inn
Enjoy the Jailhouse Inn’s version of a honeymoon suite! The Botanical Suite features a four-poster queen bed and charming antiques that welcome you to your getaway. The highlight is the luxurious bathroom, about three times the size of the original jail cells! Beautiful tile floors and a spacious air-massage tub for two make it hard to leave at the end of your stay. And don’t worry about Shelly, the little girl in the painting, her ghost will probably leave you alone.
Historic Jailhouse Experience:
Step back in time at the historic Elkader Jailhouse Inn. Built 150 years ago to house Clayton County’s most notorious criminals, this recently renovated 5,000+ sq. ft. limestone mansion sits on a 3-acre bluff with stunning views of Elkader’s rolling hills.
Choose from one of four spacious suites, each overflowing with character, luxurious beds, and spa-like bathrooms. As a guest, you’ll have access to the gourmet kitchen, scenic patio, and everyone’s favorite: the original cell block. Authentic jail cells, historic evidence, and memorabilia make this a stay you won’t soon forget. Don’t forget to take your mugshot!
Traveling with a group? Rent the whole Jailhouse for up to 20 guests—perfect for family gatherings, weddings, or weekend getaways. It should be a crime not to stay here!
Amenities & Guest Access:
Private suite with access to kitchen and Cell Block
Cell Block features a large flat-screen TV, shuffleboard, and a variety of board games
On-site support: Available 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM for general questions, 24/7 for emergencies
Location
Overlooking the quaint town of Elkader, Iowa, the Jailhouse is just blocks from Main Street restaurants, boutiques, and the Turkey River. Explore nearby attractions including Pike’s Peak, Backbone State Park, Effigy Mounds, and Yellow River State Forest. Enjoy trout fishing, concerts at the Opera House, golf courses, and scenic river floats. The natural beauty and historic charm make this a stay you’ll never forget.
