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!

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.
