The Mohicans Treehouse Resort and Wedding Venue Named Best of the Midwest by Midwest Living Magazine
Something extraordinary happened recently that we're thrilled to share with you. The Mohicans Treehouse Resort and Wedding Venue has been recognized in Midwest Living Magazine's prestigious Best of the Midwest feature for 2026. Even more remarkably, our property was selected as the feature photo for this celebrated annual showcase.
A Recognition That Reflects Our Commitment
For those unfamiliar with Midwest Living Magazine, this publication reaches over 4 million readers across the 12 Heartland states, including Ohio. Their Best of the Midwest Awards highlight nearly 150 established and emerging leaders in travel and hospitality, spanning categories from unique stays to vacation destinations that offer exceptional visitor experiences.
Being selected by Midwest Living editors means more than just an award. It represents recognition of what we've worked to create here in the Mohican Valley: a destination that blends natural beauty with refined luxury, where couples and families can escape without traveling far from home.
What Makes The Mohicans Stand Out
Our 75 wooded acres atop the hills of Mohican Valley provide something increasingly rare in today's world: genuine seclusion without isolation. Located just 90 minutes from both Columbus and Cleveland, The Mohicans Treehouse Resort and Wedding Venue offers that destination feel without destination cost.
The treehouses themselves tell the story. From Pete Nelson designs featured on television to handcrafted structures that showcase architectural artistry, each treehouse wedding creates its own experience. Some feature outdoor showers surrounded by forest views. Others offer wrap-around decks perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. All provide that unique combination of adventure and comfort that defines a memorable stay.
More Than Just Lodging
What sets The Mohicans apart extends beyond the treehouses. The Grand Barn wedding venue has become a sought-after location for couples from across Ohio seeking something different from traditional wedding venues. The two-story timber frame structure with hand-hewn logs and crystal chandeliers creates a refined rustic aesthetic that feels both elegant and authentic.
Couples appreciate the complete wedding weekend experience. With 13 hours of exclusive venue access, on-site lodging for wedding parties and guests, and spaces ranging from the outdoor ceremony patio to the covered cocktail bar deck, everything unfolds naturally in one beautiful location.
The Feature Photo Honor
Being selected as the feature photo for Midwest Living's Best of the Midwest carries special significance. Among all the award winners across the region, our property represents the Midwest's unique stays category. That image captures what we hope every guest experiences: the magic of being surrounded by nature while enjoying thoughtful design and genuine comfort.
What This Recognition Means
This honor from Midwest Living validates what our guests have been telling us for years. The reviews speak to more than just beautiful accommodations. They mention the quality of the experience, the attention to detail, the way the property makes them feel truly away from everyday life.
The recognition also highlights Ohio's growing reputation as a destination for unique travel experiences. While the Midwest may not always get the attention of coastal regions, properties like The Mohicans prove that some of the country's most memorable stays are right here in the Heartland.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this recognition, we're reminded why we created The Mohicans in the first place. We wanted to offer something that didn't exist in Ohio: luxury treehouses where families could reconnect, couples could escape, and celebrations could unfold in a setting that feels worlds away.
