Why rush home when the experience doesn’t have to end? This year’s winner of the 2026 OMA Tourism Award for Best Hotel in Pottawattamie County is Judge Richard Distillery Airbnb.
Located inside Judge Richard Distillery, this one-of-a-kind stay offers something far beyond your typical hotel experience. The distillery opened its doors in the spring of 2024, and soon after, the overnight accommodations quickly became a must-visit destination of its own for those looking for something truly unique.
Guests are invited to sip, stay, and fully immerse themselves in a space where craftsmanship, history, and hospitality come together. Each room is thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of the distillery itself—creating a cozy yet elevated atmosphere perfect for a memorable getaway.
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, milestone, or simply planning a weekend escape, Judge Richard Distillery Airbnb delivers an experience that feels both intimate and distinctive.
During your stay, you’re just steps away from the tasting room, where you can enjoy handcrafted cocktails and sample small-batch bourbon, vodka, and gin. Guests can also learn more about the distilling process, making it an experience that’s as engaging as it is relaxing.
Looking to make it even more special? The distillery also offers space for private events, celebrations, and gatherings—allowing guests to pair their overnight stay with a truly unforgettable experience.
With limited availability and a focus on quality over quantity, Judge Richard Distillery Airbnb is designed for those seeking something different.
