About this property

Tappan Lake Area: Sunny, peaceful Cottage with Fishing Pond on 13 Gorgeous Acres

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.

Comfortable and welcoming

Always a pleasant stay at Jim and Eleni’s! My son always finds something new to entertain himself with upstairs in the kid area, and the beds are so comfortable. Enough space for a family of three to spread out and also spend time together. We wait to come back!

Fleming’s Deersville Cottage

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.

Why they chose this property

When we first discovered Deersville on a back roads trip to Virginia, buying a piece of property was the furthest things from our minds. Then we happened on the property and fell in love with it. We feel it is a lovely piece of property and it is our pleasure, and honor, to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

The lovely property that is about 2/3rds wooded (with a walking path that surrounds the property), the pond and the well appointed cottage that our guests stay in. We also have a three bedroom Mobile Home (about 200 feet from the Cottage-with a privacy fence in-between the two homes) that has a deck that overlooks the property. One entrance to Tappan Lake is a five minute drive from the Cottage. We are big fans of Lake Clendeninig which is about a 15 minute drive from the Cottage. Deersville is a lovely village, small with an impressive history and with good people, many of whom have become friends. We feel very lucky to have discovered Deersville, a village that is over 200 years old.
