The space
Formerly New Brunswick's Dorchester County Jail, this is now my personal, private residence.

Update : we love to share the stories of what’s been taking place in the Jail. It certainly has made an impression on a lot of people who have visited. It’s one of the most unique and remarkably comfortable places to visit on your trip or as a destination for a weekend.

The building is unique, it has the original cells and locks, Jail doors - even handcuffs and leg irons...lots of metal - a trap door - women’s cells - segregation cells - interrogation rooms... all for you to explore when you visit.

Unrestored and original, I've made the cells comfortable, but still maintaining the original look and feel. You'll have a comfortable and interesting tour of the Jail. You will have Total Privacy... but the cells are unlocked - do not leave valuables in cells.
You will be able to explore the Village and surrounding area. Everything is close.

The surrounding community is breathtaking. Special tours are available. We have double cells, bunks, and larger rooms for larger parties and events. Complete Booking of the cell bank is available for parties and gatherings.

We also ask that you bring your own luxuries. Bedding included and towels.
