The back jail, built in 1874, is basically unchanged - you get a chilling and sobering look at what conditions were like in the old Nelson County jail that was in full operation as recently as 1987. All guestrooms with private baths, two with double Jacuzzi.
On spring and summer mornings, as you sip hot coffee and chat with other guests over a full breakfast in the courtyard, it’s difficult to imagine all of the previous uses of the courtyard — as a work yard for prisoners crushing limestone, a place to visit forlorn relatives, or even the centralized location of the Nelson County gallows.

The Garden Room: Many people's favorite room due to its light and airy feeling, when you first see it. With its floral prints, white wicker furniture, and two beautifully handstitched bedspreads, it is no wonder that people are drawn to it.
