About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Traci
Hello, we are Bob and Traci Zacharias and we have lived on and loved this property for going on 15 years now. We like to travel, ride bikes, visit with friends and family and are kind of addicted to auctions! We have spent many years collecting, buying and selling and many of these things can be found in the two properties that we rent as well as in our own. When we aren't traveling, we are very happy here in the country but we can hop in our cars and be to town in less than 10 min.! It really is the best of both worlds!
Why they chose this property
While we are just a short 10-20 min. drive to many attractions that bring travelers to town (Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course race track, Ohio State Reformatory, Clearfork Reservoir & Marina, Kingwood Center Gardens, Apple Hill Orchard, etc.), we are also able to get away from the traffic and noise and enjoy the peace and serenity of being "away from it all".
.

What makes this property unique
Bob and I have really enjoyed creating this space for couples to relax, refresh and just have some fun! So many of our guests visit this area to tour the Ohio State Reformatory so we thought it would be fun to design something that coordinated with that experience! For you racers, we have ample parking for towed vehicles and/or trailors. We are only 15-20 min. drive to most area attractions and we are also conveniently located amid four adjoining cities which gives our guests many choices of places to eat, visit, play!
