Where Was Schitt's Creek Filmed? Turns Out There's an Actual Small Town
Anyone up for a little trip to the best asset Rose family could ever have?
We don't know about you, but Schitt's Creek is exactly the kind of show that makes us forget our love for the big city and crave a trip to the suburbs - preferably a very special one. We even have a motel we'd like to stay at...
Turns out, the iconic Canadian sitcom did not just create the town of Schitt's Creek from scratch only for it to be demolished after the filming is done. No, in fact, if you are a dedicated enough fan, you can visit the place that starred in Schitt's Creek as, well, Schitt's Creek.
And yes, you can pay a visit to Rose Apothecary, Cafe Tropical, and even Bob's Garage. Don't even get us started on the Rosebud Motel itself!
Romni Goodwood, Goodwood, Ontario
If you are feeling adventurous, it's Canada's Town Goodwood you need. Located in Ontario, the town is exactly where you have to look for Rose Apothecary, Town Hall, and Cafe Tropical.
The latter, for instance, can be found on the corner of Front Street and Highway 47. However, you might want to be careful with the photos, as the building is privately-owned.
Rose Apothecary may be more inspiring in terms of photo ops. In fact, you might as well enter it and buy something, as it is in fact a local knitting shop called Romni Goodwood. You may not find David and Patrick's signature cosmetics, but if you're into knitting, make sure to grab something!
An operating factory in Goodwood still has its facade resembling Bob’s Garage; and if you want to see the building that was Schitt's Creek's Town Hall, you can find it right next to the railway tracks. Today, it is home to Goodwood’s Lion’s Club.
Hockley Motel, 308399 Hockley Rd., Mono, Ontario
And if you're up to see the Rosebud Motel itself, you will have to travel to a different location, which is Ontario's Mono Community, 15 minutes outside of the town of Orangeville. The building that portrayed the Rosebud Motel was actually a motel (Hockley Motel) before it was listed for sale. Who knows, maybe a certain businessman and a receptionist will buy it out...
If you're up for a Schitt's Creek-inspired trip across Canada, we can only send our best wishes and warmest regards to you — unironically!
