Hillside Haven Historic Vacation Home in Deersville by Tappan & Clendening Lakes

Step back in time when you stay at this charming, historic home in the small village of Deersville. It’s located along the Moravian Trail as well as the Buckeye Trail, and is just minutes from Clendening Lake and Tappan Lake Park. Built in 1885, the home will remind you of simpler times. Enjoy life at a slower pace while taking advantage of the hot tub, sitting around the firepit in the large backyard and playing cards in the gamroom. Be sure to visit Deersville General Store for homemade ice cream!

perfect location

House is old, so not in perfect shape. But everything was clean. So interesting to saty in a historical home. We loved that is was so close to the Deersville General Store where we walked to for their homeade ice cream. It is also close to Tappan Lake campground which is where other family members were staying.

Our family's stay was great. Check in and check out was super easy. The house was laid out well and a great size for seven adults. Everything we needed in the kitchen was readily available for our two night’s day. The family loved the hot tub and the general store two doors down with a wonderful homemade ice cream. We were in town for a mud run, but we also visited tap in lake for the day and did hatchet throwing which was a lot of fun. Would definitely come back again and recommend a family and friends.

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.

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!
