If you think you work hard, wait until you hear about the legendary Van Dorn Inn. Built in 1817 as a simple log cabin, this huge 4,397-square-foot home has spent the last two centuries acting as a hotel, a tavern, a stagecoach stop, a grocery store, a post office, and even a church! If these gorgeous original wood floors could talk, they would probably tell the best stories in Ohio.

The Ultimate Cozy Fireplace
Let’s talk about the absolute best feature: this house has five original fireplaces, including a monster 6.5-foot-wide tavern fireplace that still works! Imagine hanging out in your living room next to a hearth that used to warm up travelers jumping off of stagecoaches. It still has the original tavern doors, funeral doors, and beautiful 12-over-12 window panes that let the sunlight flood in.

No Antique Headaches Here
Don’t worry about living like a pioneer, because the major modern updates are already finished. The owners did the hard work by fixing up the plumbing and electrical systems. You also get relatively new furnaces, central air conditioning to stay cool in the summer, and new roofs on both the main house and the barn.

A Barn Full of Fun
Outside, you get nearly an acre and a half of land and a massive 4-car detached barn. Walk up the barn stairs and you will find a giant bonus recreation room that is perfect for a game room, an art studio, or the ultimate hangout spot. With six full bedrooms, you have enough space to open your own bed and breakfast—or just keep all this magnificent history to yourself!
