2nd Stay, Just as fantastic as the 1st!

Lovely historical house, with all the amenities. Cute general store with beer and delicious breakfast sandwiches. We absolutely love staying here! We are conflicted, we want to keep it our secret little hide away so it stays open for us, but the hosts and house are so amazing we had to leave a good review! 10/10!

Embracing Home

This beautiful, well maintained Victorian home immediately embraces you with its peacefulness and serenity. My daughter, four teenage grandchildren ages 14 to 18 and myself with my two small dogs had comfort and convenience in every regard. I recommend Hillside Haven Historic Home.

Birthday weekend

We had an amazing time with friends for my birthday weekend. Its close to the general store where my favorite ice cream is and we visited the lake for the day. The home was clean, comfy and loved the vintage decor! We have stayed in this home one other time a few years ago with family and enjoyed our second stay!

Very Pleased

Well restored and maintained property. Perfect location (Watermelon Ice cream at the general store just steps away). Wonderful hot tub. If you're considering competing in the 2024 5-lakes Ultra Marathon you need to lock this up now. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

Quiet historical house in Deeresville Ohio

Check in and communications with the host was amazing. We contacted the hosts a few times with questions and got super prompt responses. The house was so cute and spacious, the game parlor was an added fantastic value. The television package was also amazing, I was able to watch college football on a television while away from home, instead of just on my phone. The amenities offered exceeded all of our needs! We loved these hosts and the house and hope to stay again soon!Also, the general store down the way has wonderful breakfast biscuits. The milkshakes and ice cream were delicious as well! Worth the stop in, and only 2 doors down!

Deersville

This house has a lot of history and reminded me and my wife of our childhood. Very clean and organized! Appreciate the hosts for there efforts in making us welcome. We would recommend this location to anyone and would come back if the opportunity presents itself in the future. The only one negative thing we would say was that the showers did not have great water pressure. I would recommend the shower heads be replaced.

1885 Historical Home

The opportunity to stay in a home built in the 1800's was fascinating! This home has so much character. We felt engulfed in the history that this home has seen and the owners have included inside the home a book that has the history of Deersville. Within an hours drive, you have the town that Clark Gable was born. A little further down the road is where Dean Martin grew up. Heading South into West Virginia we enjoyed the dog races at the local casino. Our exploring introduced to some wonderful people, shopping, and local foods. A must stop in 2 doors down from the home which is the town store and they have all you need for your stay... a must is having some ice cream. Great home, owners were very accommodating, the house was supplied with all you need. Note- plan on seeing an over abundance of deer. Truly enjoyed our stay!!!

We had an amazing experience at Hillside Haven. The home is cozy and historical The basement was perfect for kids to play on a rainy afternoon. There were plenty of games, activities, lawn chairs, and other essentials. The main floor is gorgeous with plenty of room for preparing meals and enjoying each other's company. The woodwork is beautiful and the furnishings were a nice added touch.We loved going to the Deersville General Store for homemade ice cream. We stopped in many times for other essentials. They are very well stocked! We only wish we could have stayed longer. We didn't even have a chance to enjoy the hot tub. Thank you for a memorable weekend!

Great location! Close to Tappan Lake and right next store to a local store stocked with beer, homemade ice cream, prepared food and snacks. The house is even larger and nicer than pictured. We were very happy with our stay and loved all of the extras! The hot tub, firepit with stocked firewood, game room stocked with games and tons of movie options made this place perfect for our family!! This is a great place to stay for a relaxing family weekend! The hosts were just a quick text/walk away for anything we needed. We will definitely be back! THANK YOU!!

It was nice and quiet just as we wanted away from the city to clear are busy schedules. House was beautiful, scenery was beautiful and the general store had the best ice cream.
