About this home

The Rush R. Sloane House, Turnkey B&B | Downtown Sandusky | Cedar Point Corridor One of the most historically significant residences on the Lake Erie shore, now operating as a fully furnished Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Ohio's busiest tourism market. Built c. 1850 by Samuel Torrey and acquired in 1854 by Rush R. Sloane, attorney, railroad president, Sandusky Mayor, and abolitionist, this 10,000 SF Italianate Victorian served as a station on the Underground Railroad. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. That heritage isn't just a footnote, it's a marketing engine that no chain hotel or vacation rental in the market can touch. The property sits 10 minutes from Cedar Point (3.6 million annual visitors), walking distance to the Lake Erie Islands ferry terminal, and in the center of a downtown Sandusky has been named "Best Coastal Small Town in America." Peak lodging demand runs May through October, with shoulder season driven by indoor water parks, fishing charters, wine trail traffic, and sports tournaments year-round. 27 rooms total. 10 bedrooms, 8 with private en-suite baths. 9 full and 2 half baths. 8 fireplaces. First-floor ADA-accessible bedroom and bath. Formal ladies' and gentlemen's parlors. Library with fireplace and new veranda. Original hardwood floors, custom wood shutters, crown molding, and chandeliers throughout. Central air, updated plumbing and electrical, modern kitchen. The self-contained third floor, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, private kitchen, and a widow's walk with panoramic views of Sandusky Bay, Cedar Point, and Lake Erie, is built for an owner-operator who wants to live above the business or add additional rental income. New electric, plumbing, HVAC. Roof has been redone in the last 10 years-major upgrades abound. Can be offered fully furnished. Continued B&B operation, boutique event venue, or private estate. The building is restored. The market is proven. The story sells itself.
