As HAH prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in a couple of years, it's no surprise that various things around the The Hills need some attention to prepare for the upcoming decades. And as a member owned-and-operated community, its important to note and recognize the volunteer efforts that help ensure infrastructure and amenities for the future.
While HAH maintains its own maintenance staff, which does a great ongoing job, it's the work of the member committees that has made tremendous differences through the years. Right upfront youll see the recent evidence. 2008 saw major work done on the dams at Lakes Deerfoot and Arrowhead, and then theres that inviting new playground right inside the front security gate. The dams project was completed by an outside contractor, along with help from the maintenance staff, and the playground was planned and completed by the Parents Committee and the Adopt-An-Area Committee.with all time donated.
The volunteers had already put a whole new face on the front buildings, including the gatehouse and mailhouse, and also have made major improvements to the landscaping and sign that offer a renewed welcome to members and guests. Various materials and equipment for the projects were donated by members, by the way.
Youll also find major changes at the lodge, including a major makeover of the lower level great room (following 2007s re-do of the restaurant upstairs). The Adopt-An-Area folks are now finishing exterior work, including re-staining of the exterior and reworking of the lodge entry. And again, other members have stepped up with donations of materials to complete the picture. Upcoming work will involve re-dos of the parking lot lighting and parking.
And wait, theres more.with ongoing work to provide a refreshing new look at the North Park common area, including additional canoe storage racks.
When prospective members and guests ask about the club membership fee (currently about $3,800) and ongoing monthly assessments (currently $144), these are the sorts of things that show just where the money goes. Most of the new member fee supports the amenities improvement process (with requests from the amenities fund made directly by the various member committees), and its more than hard to imagine a community association anywhere maintaining the amenities HAH offers for a monthly assessment of less than $150.
A Family Getaway, Plus Investment!
Considering the convenience, appeal, and appreciation of a permanent weekend retreat...one that's close enough for a quick overnight, any night, and one that's secure? Ask us about the very unique community of Hideaway Hills, located at the top of the famous Hocking Hills Region. Midwest Living magazine named the Hocking Hills as "A Perfect Weekend Getaway"
We Know the Territory
We've bought and remodeled a getaway cabin in Hideaway Hills, and have recently built our new home here and purchased the cabin next door for our family and friends' use. We've also listed and sold many homes in "The Hills," representing both sellers and buyers.
Private, Secure & Friendly
Hideaway Hills is a gated community, with 24-hour security, located just a short drive southeast of Lancaster, off route 33. Although the club has a full-time operating and management staff, it's run under the supervision of the members' management committee. There's no corporation running the show, and member volunteer committees oversee all aspects and amenities of the club.
Bypassing Lancaster
Live in central Ohio? Picture yourself here after only an hour or less drive. The new Lancaster bypass is now fully open, making the trip down route 33 four-lane limited access from Canal Winchester to Horns Mill Road...the road that leads from route 33 to Hideaway Hills. Now's the time to consider buying property in this scenic area. For more information about the Lancaster bypass: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/dist5/projects/lancasterbypass/default.asp
Lots of Lakes
Here's a partial view of the Lake of the Four Seasons, taken from the main dock area. Boat dockage is just one of the amenities included in members' monthly dues.
Well-Stocked with Fish
Here's a view of just one of the smaller fishing lakes in "The Hills," accessible to all members. No motorized boats are allowed on the five fishing lakes, including Deerfoot, Arrowhead, Tomahawk, Eagle Claw, and Lake Ski, which just adds to the serenity. Lakes were re-stocked with fish in the fall of 2009.
Social Focal Point
"The Hills" is really a small town, with a friendly atmosphere we think you'll not find anywhere else near central Ohio. A focal point is the main lodge, including its dining room and lounge...plus our own micro-brewery, and a recently-remodeled lower level great room available to members for various social and family events.
Many More Amenities
Life in "The Hills" offers so uch for so little (current monthly dues are $134). In addition to the 24-hour security and the lakes, there's a pool (new in 2002) and tennis courts, outdoor chapel, stables, 9-hole golf course, playground (new in 2007), beach, grass airstrip, ATV/dirt track, and shooting range. It's truly a community that suits many lifestyles.
Visual Tour

We're also producing an exclusive video tour of this very special community, which we'll be happy to make available to you. Please enjoy the Visual Tour of our special place in the sun and trees. Better yet, give us a call and we'll provide a personal tour...by the way, because it's a private gated community, you'll need to be with a member or realtor to get inside.
