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.

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.

Beautiful Tea Party House
Had my bachelorette party there. We wanted to have a nice place to have a tea party. The host was absolutely amazing! Very prompt in communication. The property was so cute. We went axe throwing and shopping in the general store, both owned by the hosts. Perfect trip!

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!

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!
