Schitt’s Creek’s Rosebud Motel is for Sale
Ew, David! Schitt’s Creek’s Rosebud Motel is going up for sale, and you could be the new proprietor. This iconic location has been capturing the hearts of fans for years and is finally available to a new owner.
About the Rosebud Motel
For the past six years, the CBC/Pop TV series – a fish-out-of-water comedy starring Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Daniel Levy, and Annie Murphy – has filmed in Mono, Ontario. The show has ingeniously turned a one-time motel into its main location, and soon, fans will have an opportunity to stake their claim on this beloved property.
Details on the Sale
In an interview, owner Jesse Tipping revealed that the motel would be going up for sale in October. This decision was delayed due to the pandemic, as Tipping opted to provide housing for those needing to quarantine. “We were able to help out a great organization locally with their need,” Tipping stated.
Location History
Prior to COVID-19, the motel served as a base for young recruits attending a prep school basketball program nearby. Additionally, the motel has been a filming location for various productions such as Netflix’s Umbrella Academy, Amazon Prime’s 11.22.63, and David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence. Although it was also listed on Airbnb at one point, the onscreen fame was intentionally downplayed. “We didn’t advertise for you to come stay at Schitt’s Creek or the Rosebud motel,” Tipping said.
Though the real-life property lacks the signage of its onscreen counterpart, fans of the show used to visit in droves, conducting photo shoots and sharing reviews online – often in character. “We just kind of let them enjoy it because if they are not bothering anybody,” Tipping mentioned, adding, “People really get a kick out of it.”
Recent Happenings for Schitt’s Creek Fans
It’s been an exciting time for Schitt’s Creek enthusiasts. Following a notable success at the Emmy Awards, where it won multiple categories including best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, and best comedy series, the show’s sixth and final season has also landed on Netflix ahead of schedule, much to the delight of fans.
