Two queen beds make the room fit for up to 4 inmates. Play cards at your very own cafe table, soak in the tub or clean yourself off the bidet, this suite has it all. The Harstad Suite is named after local author and 26 year Clayton County Sheriff’s department veteran Donald Harstad. Sip your morning coffee and dive into one of Donald’s many crime novels that fill the book cases. Enjoy your sentence at the historic Elkader Jailhouse Inn. Built 150 years ago to house Clayton County\`s most dangerous criminals, the recently renovated 5,000+ square foot limestone mansion sits on a 3 acre bluff overlooking the rolling hills of Elkader, Iowa. Enjoy 1 of 4 spacious suites that pamper you with luxurious beds and spa-like bathrooms while overflowing with character and historic charm. As an inmate you will have access to the gourmet kitchen, scenic patio overlooking the valley, and of course everyone’s favorite: the cell block. The authentic jail cells, evidence, and paraphernalia make this a stay you won’t soon forget. But don’t worry it won’t stay on your record. Don’t forget to take your mugshot! Entertaining a big group? Rent the whole jailhouse for accommodations of up to 20 inmates! Perfect for all occasions from a weekend getaway to a wedding party. It should be a crime not to stay here! You will have access to your private room as well as the kitchen and Cell Block. In the Cell Block you can enjoy a glass of wine or beer while watching the big game on the large flat screen T.V., play a game of shuffle board or one of our many other board games that are available. We are off site and will be available from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm for general questions. We are available 24/7 for emergencies. The Jail house overlooks the quaint town of Elkader, Iowa, the county seat of Clayton County. Your accommodations are just blocks from the Main street restaurants and boutiques that line the Turkey river. Ample shopping and dining attractions are within walking distance. The town and surrounding countryside of Northeastern Iowa provide plenty of leisure activities from Pike’s Peak and Backbone state Parks, to the historic Effigy Mounds, not to mention abundant trout fishing, including within the nearby scenic Yellow River State Forest. Catch a concert at the Opera House, cut cards at the Casino in nearby Mcgregor, hit the links at one of the area\`s golf courses or spend a day on the water floating a local river. The natural beauty and historic charm will make you a repeat offender! No loud noise after 10 P.M.
