** Use of house not a part of venue rental **

Ohio's premier, coveted venue. Truly a "one of one" property in the most pristine park-like, privately owned nature preserve. Nestled between adjoining hillsides, the grounds were first developed in the 1920s by Axel Laursen, a prominent investor. Wanting to give back to the community, he employed local tradesmen who found themselves without jobs during the Great Depression to build the grounds which would be open to the public. Elaborate fountains, a stone horse bridge, a bathhouse, and various walking paths were built on-site. They also harnessed the river to build a natural swimming area above the dam. These relics from the past dwelling are found in harmony with the new; a perfect balance that pays homage to the land and unique history of the property.

Situated on 19+ acres in the Yellow Creek Valley, this property has endless views of the surrounding hillside, rushing creek and waterfalls, with historic remnants from the previous estate including a mill wheel, stone horse bridge, dovecote, and bathhouse. The river runs the entire length of the property, accompanied by shale cliffs and natural pools that function as your own private park.

Under the most strick confidnces, this property has been reveered by professional athletes, major corporations and motion picture companies because of it's sheer ability to transform its guests to a truly magical place.
