Tappan Lake Area: Sunny, peaceful Cottage with Fishing Pond on 13 Gorgeous Acres
About this cottage rental
Situated in Ohio, this charming cottage for $130 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. 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 features a 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.

Absolutely love the cottage! The beds were comfortable. The cottage was clean and organized. The owners were very communicative and helpful. We enjoyed fishing and walking on the perfectly manicured trail. The general store was well stocked and everyone there friendly. We went to the Amish country which is about an hour away for I'm lunch how you say Der Diutchman restaurant in the town of sugar Creek. The food was amazing! We will definitely be returning. I can't say enough about how much we loved the experience.

We've enjoyed this rental many times. The accommodations are comfortable and we are appreciative of the updates. The boys noticed the new bedspread for the twin and thought it was cute! We always have lots of fun fishing and having campfires. Beautiful property with a lovely hiking trail too. We'll likely be back!

This was the first cabin we stayed in after we got married, and it was truly wonderful! It was clean, enjoyable, and private. The property was nice and the small town near by really added a nice touch. My wife and I had so much fun.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was as described except for the internet, which wasn’t working the majority of the time so no Netflix etc but there were a lot of DVDs so we watched a couple of those. The owner was very apologetic and did his best to resolve the situation. We would stay again

We love this cottage! Jim is a wonderful host and his place is absolutely perfect for a fun getaway! The property is gorgeous and it seems like we always find something new with each visit. The cottage has everything you need and is always very clean. Lots of cool artwork! Close to a couple of lakes but the best part is the homemade ice cream at the general store on the hill above the cottage. Get some!!
Been here with adults and children alike and everyone loves it, especially our dog. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks Jim!!

This cottage was very clean and had much more than expected when it comes to supplies. We took extra paper towels, tissues, TP etc. The cottage supplied plenty for the two of us. They also had lawn chairs & fishing rods just in case you can’t bring yours. The pond was fun and the trail was a nice walk in the morning and evening with your fur baby. If your looking for a quiet place to stay for some rest and relaxation this is the perfect place.

The cottage was absolutely wonderful! It was difficult to get there but once we figured that out it was great! The pond was amazing! As was the trail on the property! Jim was incredibly helpful and considerate. We would definitely stay at a property of his again

When we first walked in the house we were surprised to see and smell how clean it was. Everything was so tidy. The rooms were all nice size and spacious. The home was very well equipped with everyday essentials and then some. There was plenty of outdoor area for our black lab to run and a very nice trail to go for walks. Even a pond on the trail that our black lab couldn't resist.

Quiet and clean getaway for weekend. My two dogs and I loved the walking paths around the property!!! Careful, this time of year it was pretty slippery with wet leaves and mud but still awesome. We unfortunately were not able to use your outdoor amenities (grill, firepit) weather was not cooperative. Overall, very nice.

Nice stay for yearly hunting trip. Did see a few mice running around.

Owner sent me all the property information well in advance of the rental date, so the contactless check-in was a breeze. Property was as I remembered it from last year- cozy, clean, open layout and well stocked kitchen. Additions since my last stay of new kitchen/bathroom/hallway flooring and the Amazon Echo were very nice touches. Doing pre-holiday baking, Echo helped greatly with the timer.
Deersville General Store was a gem that you must visit for at least their homemade ice cream and pizza.
Love staying here! Thank you for making it pet friendly. You have no idea how important that is.

The cottage and property were great and were just as described in the listing. My family and I enjoyed the trail and the fishing pond everyday as we had great weather!

We love this cottage and have stayed here several times. It's the perfect place to get away from it all but still convenient to lots of recreational activities. Clean with everything and anything you might need. Our grandkids said the place is magical! Finally got to meet Jim the owner who is delightful and told us some wonderful stories. Glad to meet you after all these years!!

They call this place a cottage, but it is more like a home away from home. It's a complete house with upstairs and downstairs. The owner's instructions about the cottage, directions, arrival and shopping were very detailed. This place has everything you need and is very comfortable and clean. If you are picky about your cooking utensils and cookware, you might want to take some of your own, but we had no issues with what was provided. The owners have notes here and there about some care they would like you to take. They are not unreasonable requests. The artwork and antiques inside and outside are wonderful! If you are looking for some reading material, there are many interesting books to browse inside. Also, lot's of games. We enjoyed the location close to the lakes since we kayak. We didn't spend much time at the pond on the property since it was overcast and a bit gloomy while we were there, but the pond is nice with a fire pit and two benches. Very nice place for a family to stay, or just two, like us.

Relaxing, clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we could need for a 5 day stay! Cool and interesting art and knick knacks around the house. Nearby Tappan lake was beautiful. Had some trouble finding the house at first, but Jim was quick to answer my call and helped direct us. Highly recommend!
