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.!

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 !

I took my husband for an extended weekend and this was exactly what we needed. The space is perfect and has all the accommodations you could need. The owners are onsite but you don't see or hear them. The view is amazing as well. Thank you Traci & Bob for giving us a relaxing weekend full of fun and new adventures!!

More than 5 stars!
We had an amazing time here! It was the perfect touch to add to our Shawshank Redemption/Ohio State Reformatory activities! Super clean, quiet country setting yet so close to town, activities and restaurants! We will definitely be back and can’t wait to bring another couple to stay in the “school house” located on same grounds. The owners definitely take good care of the place and take pride in making it a wonderful couples getaway! Also purchased homemade candles made by them, they smell like you could eat them!

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.

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!

I have already encouraged other family members to book a stay here! We came to the area to see Indy cars race at the Mid-Ohio track, and it took only 17 minutes (on pretty, uncrowded roads) to arrive at the gate. Our suite was clean and comfortable with a roomy bathroom, a lovely bed, and a well-supplied kitchen. We enjoyed the fun colors of the "fireplace" and all the Shawshank decor and props. The Ohio State Reformatory is a 15-20 minute drive away, and absolutely do not miss it! We learned so much. Oh, and don't forget to explore the charming backyard, too.

Shawshank theme went perfectly with our weekend plans of doing OSR tour. Room was well done, comfortable and cozy. The property grounds and landscaping are beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend staying here. Location is close to alot of restaurants etc. 15 minutes in either direction. Even took home a beautiful smelling candle made by property owners.

A newly renovated prison “escape” theme was on point. Lovely and comfortable decor. They could have not been more welcoming. Lawn chairs to view the eclipse and a quaint group. We will plan another “escape” when we plan a visit to the prison.

I loved this property so much I wanted to buy it on the spot. The Teacher's Lounge was perfect for two people and it was the perfect distance to nearly everything in the area.

It was a lovely stay!
I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Teacher's Lounge! The property was clean, quiet and comfortable. We were in the area for my niece's graduation party and this was a great place to stay close by. I would love to come back sometime when I can spend more time actually at the Lounge and sit on the outside bench and read beside the fountain. So picturesque! Check in and out was super easy via text. Would definitely stay again!
