What was once a stop on the Underground Railroad is now a one-of-a-kind getaway in the small town of Oberlin.
You'll find it at 14945 Hallauer Rd., Oberlin, Ohio 44074.
Although it's fully restored and updated, many of the features are original to when the house was first built in 1830. The fireplaces, floors, doors and much of the woodwork is original.
Evidence of the house being used as a stop on the Underground Railroad include a hidden crawl space, a dry cistern and a hole in the floor board above the crawl space.
Each room here is unique from all the others. Pictured is the Union Room. It features an antique dressing table and a Union Army uniform hanging on the door.
There's also a hot tub and dry-heat sauna, a fitness center and music room.
