A Romantic Escape - A Treat For Shawshank Prison Fans!

Lock yourself INN for a romantic get-away in our all NEW re-designed space inspired by the movie Shawshank Redemption! This space is sexy and moody with comforts Andy and Red could only dream of! Snuggle in the luxurious king sized bed beside a glowing fireplace and/or watch your favorite "prison movies" on the 40” smart TV.
This studio apartment has a kitchen area with electric stove, small fridge/freezer (see pics), microwave and coffee bar with fresh beans and flavored syrups to create your perfect cup of morning coffee! You will have a full bathroom with step-in shower, towels, soap, shampoo/conditioner and hair dryer. Free hi-speed wifi internet is provided inside the room. There is a private entrance with smart code lock; your own parking space directly in front of your unit, and front porch security light. Be sure to take photos using some of the fun props inside!

Situated amid four surrounding cities, (Shelby, Mansfield, Lexington, Crestline, Galion), we offer the serenity of the country with the advantage of getting to town and most area attractions in 10-20 minutes! Mid-Ohio Race Track and OSR Shawshank are just a short 15 min. drive! Beautiful Kingwood Center Gardens; Clearfork Reservoir & Marina and the Ohio Bird Sanctuary are also only a 15 min. drive as well as several access points onto the beautiful paved B&O bike trail.

Many great restaurants, wineries and breweries are within a 15 minute drive as well as three large grocery stores, gas stations and the whole gambit of fast food restaurants. (there is a listing inside the studio)

An outdoor "door-cam" in in use that covers the parking lot and outdoor entrances.

Me and my husband stayed for our 10 year anniversary and loved it! Bed was comfortable, coffee bar was amazing, and the "photo booth" is the cutest. Thanks for having us! It was beautiful and cozy.

Perfect getaway

I booked this stay for Valentine’s Day, and it exceeded expectations. Hosts were easy to communicate with, the room included recommendations on nearby activities/food and location was great-not too far from anything. The vibe of the room was my favorite. Small details played a huge part of our comfort and relaxation. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay.!

Hidden Gem Close to OSR

My wife and I stayed here during a music festival and it was close to everything but far enough away to enjoy some fresh air. The bed was very comfortable and the space was exactly as described. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

What a gem of a place - extraordinary fun !

Thoroughly enjoyable stay from start to finish. That room is exactly as gorgeous and cozy/romantic as it look on the photos. Everything is in tiptop shape, and it is very clear that the owners pay a lot of attention to each little detail. Communication before and after the stay was impeccable - all of our needs were thoroughly taken care of. Next up for us will be the adjacent Old Schoolhouse !

What a great property! Both the room and the property are immaculate, and I highly recommend both Inn Carceration and the schoolhouse next door. It's a very serene setting perfect for relaxing and still only a short drive into titan.
