History

Hide-A-Way Hills was founded in 1961 as a planned community. The 1,650 acre community was developed eight miles southeast of Lancaster, Ohio and included a lodge, horse barn, and golf course. The original developer, Hide-A-Way Hills, Inc., controlled the development and the facilities of Hide-A-Way Hills until 1973.

In 1965, construction began on a dam that would create a 110-acre lake called Lake of the Four Seasons. The dam cost about $500,000 and was completed in 1966. Five years after the completion of the dam, a marina, beach and playground were build on the north side of the lake.

The residents of Hide-A-Way Hills created a non-profit club in 1972 and on Feb. 21, 1973, the club assumed ownership from the original developer. It was decided that the Club would be operated be a nine-member Board of Trustees.

The community expanded its boundaries in 2004, when a 54-acre property adjacent to the community was offered for sale and the Club purchased it in March of that year.
