Lovely stay in Deersville

Thank you for your hospitality! You've thought of everything to make us comfortable. It was so relaxing at the house that we only left to stock up on tasty treats from the general store. Can't wait to come back!

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!

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!

great place to stay

This was a great place to stay. Right nerxt to the general store so we could walk over to get the home made ice cream. Close to Tappan Lake so we could easily get to our family reunion which was held there. The house itself was so interesting.Really takes you back in time. We would definitely stay here again.

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!
