Cozy but roomy fully-furnished two bedroom cottage on a heartbreakingly beautiful 13 acre lot in Ohio's rolling Amish country. Located in the picturesque Victorian town of Deersville, five to ten minutes drive from fishing and boating on both Tappan Lake and Lake Clendenning and twenty-five minutes drive from the bustling burg of New Philadelphia, Fleming's Family Cottage is a peaceful, private haven.

Sunlight pours in through the skylight in the huge upstairs bedroom, which featuresa comfy queen bed and a twin bed separated by a low partition. Two huge closets and a dresser invite you to stay for a while; An overstuffed chair and ottoman tempt you to sit and read or take a nap; A desk and chair with a tree laden window view beckons you to write or think; And a TV nook stocked with videos gives the kids something to do when they're tuckered out from their day at the lake.


Downstairs, an elegant bedroom with a queen sized bed, a private window, dresser and roomy closet, connects to a bright, contemporary bathroom, with tub and shower and lots of cupboards. A bright and spacious modern eat-in kitchen looks out onto the stunning front lawn. The living room, with it's high ceilings, is comfortable and gracious, its window also framing the rolling, tree-graced lawn.

But though the house is wonderfully inviting, you'll find yourself drawn to wander the beautiful forested property. Dotted with tall fir trees, maples and willow trees, the property is breathtakingly beautiful in every season. A winding, tree-shaded path leads you to a large, cattail-fringed private pond stocked with fish. Dragonflies zigzag in the warm spring and summer air.

Deer, safe from hunters on this land, dart in and out of the foliage, watching you as you follow the path up and over large and ancient rock formations, and make your way into a dense forest. Surrounded by whispering trees, and the occasional tap-tap-whirr of a woodpecker's beak pecking into hard wood, you will visibly relax. At night, the stars fill the sky, owls hoot, and pond frogs peep in a loud chorus, lulling you to an easy sleep.

Amenities: Wifi, Roku TV, Washer and Dryer, refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, Charcoal Grill, Portable fire pit outside Cottage, Fire Pit at Pond, benches at Pond,. VCR and videotape library, books, board games, .,picnic table, Whole House Air Conditioning. Sheets and towels provided.

Activities: One minute walk from the Deersville General Store (just up the hill) and their famous homemade ice-cream. Five to ten minutes drive from boating and fishing on the majestic Tappan or Clendenning Lakes, where you can rent a boat and swim, water-ski or fish.

The acreage on the property itself invites hiking; the large private pond is stocked with fish just waiting to be caught. For an excellent lunch and a tour of the Railroad Museum, visit Depot Town, fifteen minutes drive away in Dennison. New Philadelphia, with it's coffee houses, shops, movie theater, restaurants and busy summer entertainment schedule, is a scenic 25 minute drive away. 45 Minutes to an hour away is the heart of Ohio's famous Amish Country. Deersville is on the Register of Historical Places, and is one hour south of Akron, Ohio and one hour West of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Please Note: Very occasionally, the owners of the property travel down from Michigan to stay at the Mobile Home to do necessary maintenance work to keep the property (including the Cottage) up-to-date. The Mobile Home is over 200 feet from the Cottage and there is a tall privacy fence about 25 feet from the Cottage (and the sitting area). The Mobile Home is tucked away, and the property owners assure complete privacy for their guests.

    The property was perfect for us. The woods were a beautiful setting for my walk. The path was maintained, private, shady and provided a beautiful setting. The cottage was comfortable and nice. We would stay here again.

    Cozy cottage on a beautiful property. Well equipped for kids and adults alike (games, movies, books, fire pit). Hosts were amazing…very communicative and helpful. Close to Tappan Lake and within walking distance of a wonderful General Store that has been in business for over 100 years…they make their own ice cream! So much fun and very relaxing.

    The property was lovely. The path to the pond was not the only hiking path. There was one that was even longer that was great. The cottage was great. My husband and I and our adult daughters had enough room and the kitchen was great. Communication was great. Jim was friendly and responsive to our emails. Great stay.

    I was looking for a reset weekend. Got to relax and enjoy nature from deer to pine squirrels and ground hogs. Pond was nice lots of hungry fish, not very relaxing when they bit one after another. All around great weekend.

    The cottage was comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed. Fire pit was a plus. Neighborhood was quiet. The pond was lovely. Parking was a little tricky with the boat but we made it work. Honestly we wish we stayed longer. It was close distance to a few lakes so we went to different ones. A plus also having the general store close by. Would definitely consider booking again when we come back to the area. Host was very responsive and friendly. Nothing negative about the stay. Would recommend!.

    We had a great stay at the Fleming’s cottage. The cottage has everything you need. It was so nice to have a small fishing pond right on the property. We enjoyed the close proximity to the Deersville general store and both Tappan and Clendening Lakes. Everyone enjoyed their stay.

    We had a wonderful time at this location - the main draw of which was the pond so that our kids could go fishing. The fish were biting nearly nonstop much to the kids’ delight. The house itself was very comfortable and clean. It also had many things that were just “bonus” - like a net for fishing and a set of checkers that my kids and father made good use of. We saw deer several times and walked up to the General Store twice for ice cream. Over all, it was lovely. :)
