How Seventy Seven Wooded Acres Became Ohio's Favorite Corporate Retreat Setting
Most corporate retreats are forgettable by design. Everyone counts down to the drive home. The Mohicans Treehouse Resort in Glenmont, Ohio, is what happens when someone asks a better question: what if the retreat itself was the best part?
Sitting on 77 private wooded acres in the hills of Mohican Valley, just 90 minutes from Columbus and Cleveland, The Mohicans has become the retreat destination that Ohio companies keep coming back to. Not because it checks a box. Because it changes something.
On-Site Treehouse Lodging for Your Entire Team
The single most powerful thing The Mohicans Treehouse Resort does for a corporate group is keep everyone together overnight.
Most offsites lose their energy the moment the last session ends, and everyone heads for the parking lot. At The Mohicans, there is no parking lot moment. Your team checks into private treehouses, cabins, and country homes spread across the property. The conversations that started over a strategy session carry into dinner, into a fire pit evening, into breakfast the next morning. That continuity, unhurried and genuinely informal, is where teams actually bond.
The property offers 10 unique treehouses, including two designed by Pete Nelson, the builder behind Animal Planet's Treehouse Masters. Add 4 cabins and 2 country homes, and the resort comfortably accommodates everything from a 6-person leadership summit to a 90-person company-wide offsite. Guests consistently describe their stay as unlike anything they have experienced before, and that reaction is exactly what makes a retreat worth having.
A World-Class Venue Space Made for Corporate Events
Forget the dropped ceiling and the flickering fluorescent lights. The Grand Barn is a two-story timber frame structure with hand-hewn logs, a crystal chandelier, a solid oak staircase, and a covered deck looking out over the Mohican Valley. It is a space that signals to your team from the moment they walk in: this is not a regular workday.
The combined main floor and mezzanine delivers approximately 2,500 square feet of flexible event space, enough for a full team of 150 and intimate enough to scale down for a focused leadership session. Three private suites serve naturally as breakout rooms. A fireside lounge with an outdoor fire pit handles evening gatherings without anyone needing to plan it. A full serving kitchen supports any catering setup your event requires.
The layout flows smoothly from indoors to outdoors. Sessions inside, breaks by the half-acre pond, and dinner under the trees, your agenda fills the space instead of competing with it.
Perfectly Located Between Columbus and Cleveland
There is a reason retreat planners always wrestle with the same tension: far enough to feel like a getaway, close enough that people will actually show up.
The Mohicans solves it. The property is roughly 90 minutes from both Columbus and Cleveland, easy enough for a Monday morning arrival and far enough that no one is slipping out early for a 4 pm meeting.
Once your team arrives, the options beyond the retreat agenda are exceptional. Mohican State Park is a short drive, offering hiking, fishing, and kayaking for groups that want to build activity into their schedule. Amish Country, including Millersburg, Walnut Creek, and Sugarcreek, is just 30 minutes away, a half-day excursion that consistently surprises people who have never experienced it. These are not filler activities. They are the kind of shared moments teams bring up months later.
Why Ohio Companies Keep Choosing The Mohicans
The Mohicans has been featured in The New York Times, Yahoo Life, and Fox 8 Cleveland.

It is what they say afterward: that something shifted, the team is different coming out than going in, and that they want to come back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size groups does The Mohicans work best for?
The Grand Barn accommodates up to 150 guests for corporate events, and on-site lodging across treehouses, cabins, and country homes flexes across a wide range of group sizes. The property works just as well for an intimate 6-person leadership retreat as it does for a full company offsite. The planning team works with each group to find the right configuration.
What does a full retreat day look like?
Most groups use The Grand Barn for structured sessions through the day, then let the property take over in the evening with fire pit gatherings, the fireside lounge, and dinner together in the venue. The 13-hour exclusive venue access means the space is entirely yours, with no other events running alongside yours. The structure you bring, and the setting, handle everything else.
What activities are available outside of sessions?
Mohican State Park is a short drive, with hiking, fishing, and kayaking all accessible without leaving the area. Amish Country, including Millersburg, Walnut Creek, and Sugarcreek, is a 30 minute drive and makes for an outstanding half-day team excursion. The property itself, with its wooded trails, open bluffs, and half-acre pond, gives teams natural space to decompress between agenda blocks.
