My best friend and I wanted to have a getaway and decided to come to Indiana and see the covered bridges. I picked this bed and breakfast because I thought it would be fun to stay in an old jail! We arrived after 4 and the friendly owner gave us a tour and showed us to our "cell". We had... More

The place was down-right creepy! Our room wasn't cleaned the first night, so no fresh bedding and only after we spoke up was there an offer to 'clean'. There were no tv's in any of the rooms, no blow dryers, and very small toilet & shower areas. The 'common area' was so small there was only enough seating for four.... More

Everything from start to finish was great. The people here have been fantastic. We couldn't have had better accommodations. Would highly recommend a stay here. Most interesting places we've stayed. Staying here during the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. Right in the middle of everything.

My family went to school with Tony the owner. My sister and I were up at the Covered Bridge Festival yesterday and we stopped in to check the jail out. The tour was great and Terry the guide was very knowledgable about the place. We had a great time exploring the place and the Drunk Tank was our favorite place!!... More

What a wonderful experience. I must preface my review by saying I know the owner from my teaching days. I taught her 2 kids. I attended the hill climb festival in NewPort last October. The Winery was new and I had the honor of being the first to write on the beam next to the bar. The cells are wonderful.... More

We had made reservations for two rooms over 2 months ago and confirmed reservation two weeks before a mystery trip my wife and I had planned for friends. When we arrived the inn keeper had no records of our reservation, no similar rooms available and the only excuse for no solution was the person that confirmed reservation was in Germany.... More

We stopped on the town square for coffee and had to spend the night. Deborah runs the coffee shop and the Old Jail Inn. She's energetic and charming and had an idea that is quite worth the stop. She converted the old county jail into an inn! Original bars included. We stayed in one of two rooms with a shower... More

This was the first time we stayed at a B&B it was well worth it! We came to see the covered bridges. We arrived after the annual festival, so the town was quiet. We were going to stay at Turkey Run State Park but saw the jail as an option. Thought it would be something fun and different. Had the... More

I surprised my sisters and 88 year old mom with a week-end trip in the Old Jail Inn. This experience was awesome. The owners and staff went out of their way to make out stay very enjoyable. This is not the embassy suites but the memories you will make will make up for any inconvenience you might experience. There was... More

Spent our 45th anniversay "In Jail", was so much fun. Looking for some place different to stay, this is the place. We stayed in the Bonnie and Clyde suite, a neat experience. Every one is friendly, good food and neat little stores around the square.
