Spacious Historic Home


Step back in time to the elegance of this historic plaqued home built for a mayor of Canal Dover. Enjoy modern-day luxuries like a heated bathroom tile floor, but also experience 19th century comforts like soaking in a claw foot tub or sitting on the porch swing. While the home contains a lot of original woodwork, it is not a museum. Our family lived in this large, comfortable home for 12 years, now it is your turn to enjoy!

Christmas House
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful home with our family. Perfect for our family of 6 adults, 2 children and well behaved labradoodles to meet from destinations from ‘north’ and ‘south’. Grandchildren said ‘this is a Christmas House!’ Funny story…We read about the house ghost, ‘the butler’. My adult son was a little spooked, thought ‘the butler’ made my grandchildren’s beds, until my daughter in law said ‘I don’t think it was the ghost, I think it was your mom!’ :) Happy new year!

College reunion
My friends and I (9 total) thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in this charming historic home! The host was very accessible and quick to respond to questions. The town was delightful. We took a walk to see many other historic homes and there were several locally owned restaurants and a bookstore that we visited. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect Family Vacation
Our family needed a place for a large group of 12 people for a wedding out of town. We found this place that was perfect. When my wife and I arrived, we were stunned at how great this house was - each room that we went into we were surprised. I was not only clean, but the period decorations were amazing. there were enough beds for each person to have their own without sharing, the 3 full bathrooms were plenty for us all to get ready for our big event. A modern kitchen made it easy for meals. The special note on the message board that the owners left brought tears to my eyes - the fact that they took time to write a special note to the happy couple was special (we took a picture for the album). I reached out several times over the year we had this property book and Brian was very responsive - including local a local diner recommendation that didn't disappoint. we will certainly visit this place again in our travels to Ohio - the pictures don't do this property justice - just stunning.

Lovely, comfortable stay
This beautiful, historical property had every needed amenity (and then some) and delivered that home-away from home level of comfort and convenience. Short drive to Amish country and easy access to I-77 for day trip to Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. The home was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing in the evenings, as well as the visits from the friendly, orange and white neighborhood kitty. Would definitely stay again!

Great house and location
Wonderful hosts. Enjoyed ambience of this historic house. Amenities were as described. We had everything we needed. LOVED the porch. Attractions we saw were all within 25 minutes. Host went out of his way to help us out with a personal need. Great area to walk to nearby coffee shop or just take a walk. Highly recommend!!

The property was perfect for our family to feel comfortable and "at home" There were multiple gathering places and the large table was great for a buffet style meal. All the guests commented on how much they liked the house.Those who stayed overnight were extremely happy with their accommodations. Brian was extremely attentive. Over all, it couldn't have worked out been better!!!

Wonderful Home
This home was set up very well for multiple people to stay. Each person had a place to go to when they needed "space". It was very inviting and quiet. My wife walked our dog every day and was not concerned about my wife's safety. The owners were easy to reach when needed and very kind. They had a book put together regarding the history of the home and things to do as well as places to eat in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

90th Birthday Celebration!
Our family gathered from 6 very distant states to celebrate a 90th birthday. The house was perfect. Large enough to fit our family's many different activities, with a well-stocked kitchen, all the beddings we could need, and such historic charm. The town is lovely and there was plenty to keep us busy for the week. The family wants to return for another visit!

Beautiful Historic Home
A wonderful historic house with modern amenities. Ten family members (8 adults and 2 grade school children) had plenty of room to enjoy our stay while we explored Amish country. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond. The neighborhood is quaint. The bedrooms were well appointed and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of bathroom space. The dining room accommodated the whole group, as did the main living room. Nice wraparound front porch. We would stay here again.

Beautiful and majestic home
It was an honor to stay at this incredible historic home. The house sits on a large lot in a nice neighborhood. It has LOTS of room in three stories with multiple common rooms to meet and/or get away. The interior decor really honors the Victorian heritage while being comfortable and fresh. The air conditioning was excellent on all three floors, it was clean and very well-sealed. The beds were excellent. Everyone loved it and we thank you for our stay.
