"Safe house" in general means pretty much what it sounds like: a house which is "safe" ... from something or other.
In the context of the (US) Civil War, it probably means a home owned by people who were willing to hide escaped slaves from those who might be searching for them. The usual practice was to hide and rest during the day and travel by night (when fewer people were out, minimizing the risk of being accidentally discovered).
