My friend and I stayed two nights here because I wanted to experience the thrill of staying in a real jail. It is a unique bed and breakfast, but the building and furnishings need some repair. Now I like old and antique but not dirty, soiled, and broken. I believe we had the Garden Room. The room was quite nice, comfy beds, etc, but the bathroom had broken things hanging off the wall. The chairs at the dining room table, which incidentally is upstairs, were very dirty looking. Breakfast was just barely okay. Our hostess was very nice, very knowledgeable about the property, and very entertaining. I don't know that I would stay here again, but it was an interesting bed and breakfast.

Me, my sister and my friend went to stay for a weekend a couple of years, maybe my 16th birthday. we had saw it in a t.v show (top ten most haunted places in usa) ofcourse i'm in to all that stuff so we thought we'd try it out for a weekend. we stayed in the old jail cell, in the back by the dark stairs. we had a weji board to. but the only thing that happen was when we got home and developed our pitcures there were faces of people in the windows from the outside of the jail. But GET THIS,we were the only people there that weekend. i would defently stay again, and yeah the food could have been better.` but thats o.k!

The concept was intriguing, but the stay fell short of my expectations. The hostess was entertaining (she had some great stories) and pleasant and the breakfast was nice. The bed was great, with crisp, clean linens. The room was clean; however, the bathroom could have used some more attention to detail, the rug especially. Same with the dining room. The chair seats were gross! It also felt like the seat portion was broken or sagging.

It was a fun experience, but, again, more attention to detail was needed.

  • Liked — The hostess
  • Disliked — The dining chairs and some disrepair of the B&B

My girlfriends and I stayed at the jail on Friday night. The innkeeper, Lisa, was a wonderful hostess. Very pleasant to talk to. She was very knowledgeable about the area and people in the area. She gave us a tour and told us some of her experiences with the jail. We felt that her stories were not fabricated and were told very well.
The other guest in the jail were also very nice, it made for a great weekend.
Would stay there again.

2 cousins and myself stayed in the jail cell room we went there looking for ghost we took emf meter with us which went off in middle of night like something pacing in front of it. the meter also would go off when checking the single bunk we took pics of cemetery behind jailers inn and there seems to be a cat like animal with whiskers in pics that wasnt there when we took the photos. another picture of the courtyard in the back has several foggy spots there was no fog that night. we are going back this year and we are also going to stay at talbott inn it supposed to be haunted too. i believe there is some kind of activity at jailers inn hope to find some at talbott inn also
