About this property

Luxurious 1875 home centrally located minutes from Canton/Akron sights & events

Step into history while experiencing modern comforts. Built in 1875, Duskhaven 1875 blends vintage charm with high-end touches.

Perfectly located between Canton, Akron, and historic Hartville, you’re just 12 minutes from most every area event.

Whether you’re gathering around the firepit, unwinding in premium robes, brewing your favorite cappuccino at the coffeehouse bar, or gaming with friends in the entertainment room, this home is designed to make your stay as relaxing as it is memorable.

Originally built as a small family home in 1875—when Ulysses S. Grant was president—this historic home has been thoughtfully expanded and modernized over time. Kitchens were relocated, rooms added, and patios, porches, and mudrooms transformed into living spaces filled with vintage charm and stylish interiors.

Guests are welcomed into a spacious, character-rich retreat that blends historic charm with modern amenities like lightning-fast Wi-Fi, self-check-in, free parking, and a fully stocked kitchen. It's the perfect getaway for couples, families, or even business travel. With beautiful interiors and social-worthy details, DuskHaven is as photogenic as it is comfortable.

Centrally located between three major shopping areas and just minutes from nearly every local event, Duskhaven 1875 offers unmatched convenience. Whether you're here for a festival, a romantic weekend, or to work remotely, you'll appreciate the private entrance, washer/dryer, and reliable connectivity for work or play.

When you step into the large backyard, you'll find yourself in a quiet retreat, complete with comfy patio furniture, a hammock, a cozy fire pit, recliners, and a great view of the sunset. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

As a bonus, it's just a short walk to grab a pizza or pick up essentials at the nearby convenience store.

Amazing!!!

This place feels like home! I left things at home and they had stocked up on razors, medicine, toothbrush and other necessities! This place was far beyond what I expected. They make you feel like you never left home. Words can’t express how much the owners care about the people that rent their property! Please if you need to rent a spot choose them! We came for a football tournament and plan on renting this property every time we come to town. The beds were omg! I literally am looking to purchase a mattress they have at the property for my home! I took pictures so I can re create things they had there in my home. It’s a beautiful place!
