My family stayed in three rooms at the Jailhouse Inn during a bike trip along the Root River. I was incredibly impressed with how well the jailhouse had been converted into a beautiful B&B. The rooms were lovely, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Only two blocks from the bike path. Our host recommended dinner at... More

Our first time in the Lanesboro area - Preston is just a few miles away and charming. The Jailhouse Inn has a fun theme, but more importantly, the place is well-appointed and well-run, with spacious rooms (very quiet), wonderful bedding, all the creature comforts you'd expect. The owners are lovely people, intelligent, funny, helpful but not obtrusive. Their recommendation for... More

We have stayed here twice and enjoyed it both times. The first time we brought the kids (9 &12) during spring break 2010 and stayed in the Cell Block room that has three beds, a bathroom and a whirlpool tub. The beds are actually in three separate original cells with little curtains for privacy. The bathroom is in the fourth... More

Never having been to this part of Minnesota before, we wanted to stay in Lanesboro, a picturesque town in the heart of Amish country; however ALL of their B & Bs were already booked for a weekend festival. So we tried nearby towns and found that the JailHouse Inn in Preston, 7 miles to the west, had available rooms. What... More

I stayed four nights and each day the breakfast was something new and special. Very close to the bike trail and river on a quiet street. Preston is a wonderful quiet base for biking, boating, hiking, and excellent trout fishing, all within a couple of blocks of Jailhouse. I even worked out my own shuttle for a 13 mile float... More

We stayed here on our way out west. The house was tastefully decorated and felt very cozy. We stayed in the Cell Block Suite. The experience was worth the extra money. The bed was comfortable and the huge tub for two was more luxury than you would expect for a night in jail. The room does have some original features,... More

We stayed here for our Anniversary. Everything was going perfect that day. We had dinner in town and bought baklava pastry to enjoy by the fireplace, with our 'help yourself' hot tea. It was very quiet, no one around, we had not seen the innkeepers, and there was a log, newspapers, and box of matches sitting in the sitting room... More

I stayed at the Jailhouse Inn after reading the reviews on this website and I am so glad I did. My colleagues and I each booked rooms in August 2009 for three days while on a business trip. The innkeepers were the highlight of the trip and extremely accomodating. We needed a work room and were concerned about our late... More
