Companies driving in from Columbus often spend months planning a corporate retreat and still end up with a conference room that looks exactly like the office they were trying to leave. At Landoll’s Mohican Castle in Loudonville, Ohio, we offer something genuinely different: a full property buyout option for multi-day events, 33 onsite accommodations, dedicated indoor and outdoor event spaces, an onsite restaurant, and property amenities that give your team real reasons to connect outside the meeting room. Here is why Columbus-area teams keep choosing us for corporate retreats and team building.
The best corporate retreat venue near Columbus for team building offers dedicated indoor and outdoor event spaces, onsite accommodations, and on-property dining to keep teams together throughout the retreat. Landoll’s Mohican Castle also provides team-building amenities like outdoor courts, fire pits, and a pool house, giving groups natural opportunities to connect outside formal sessions.
Why Columbus Teams Choose a Castle for Their Corporate Retreat
Sitting on 30 forested acres at 1,200 feet above sea level and equidistant from Columbus and Cleveland, our property puts your team in an environment that feels genuinely removed from the workday. When your group steps away from the office and into a setting this distinct, the shift in energy shows up in how people engage, collaborate, and participate. We support a full range of corporate event formats, including business dinners, board meetings, team building activities, workshops, training sessions, conferences, corporate retreats, strategy planning sessions, and executive retreats, all under one roof.
Indoor and Outdoor Event Spaces for Every Group Format
We have multiple spaces that accommodate different group sizes and session formats, from a company-wide gathering to a focused breakout. Our Marta Louise Ballroom seats up to 230 people and is our largest indoor venue. The Mary Frances Banquet Hall accommodates 50 guests indoors with an additional 30 in the outdoor area, suited for smaller working sessions or private dinners. The Copper Mug Grille seats up to 70 for mid-sized group meals. Outdoors, the Mary Louetta Pavilion seats up to 100, while the Stables Patio and Copper Mug Deck each seat up to 50. For groups that want complete exclusivity, we offer a full property buyout for multi-day retreats.
Team Building Activities Built Into the Property
Team building does not have to be manufactured. Our property gives your group natural opportunities to connect without forcing it. Overnight guests have exclusive access to our outdoor pickleball and basketball court with all equipment provided, propane fire pit areas for evening gatherings, the Red Oak Tower observation deck with two 360-degree views of the grounds, and a game room inside the pool house. The indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna in our pool house are also complimentary for overnight guests, open daily from 9 am to 10 pm. These shared experiences between sessions build the kind of rapport that a meeting agenda cannot.
Onsite Dining That Keeps the Group Together
Meals are where teams actually talk, and ours come from the Copper Mug Grille, our full-service, onsite restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The kitchen carries a menu built around quality, including prime angus steaks, fresh seafood, and a full lineup of starters and entrees, with indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating for up to 100 guests. The restaurant also runs a full bar with an extensive wine list, craft beers, spirits, and a rotating seasonal cocktail menu. For private group dining, the Mary Frances Banquet Hall is available for exclusive bookings, seating up to 50 guests indoors and 20 outdoors, with custom private plated or buffet options. Your team eats together on the property without coordinating transportation to a separate restaurant.
33 Onsite Accommodations So the Team Stays in One Place
Splitting a corporate group across multiple hotels is one of the fastest ways to lose the momentum a retreat is trying to build. We have 33 onsite accommodations, including eleven individually designed castle suites, four Highland Building suites, and two new French Country Hilltop Villas, two private cottages, and the Stable Suites, giving groups enough variety to accommodate different preferences while keeping everyone on the same property. Suite amenities include jetted tubs, seasonal fireplaces in select rooms, coffee and tea, and DirectTV or Dish Network. When your team wakes up, has breakfast, attends sessions, and unwinds all in the same location, the retreat holds together in a way a day trip format cannot match.
A Dedicated Contact Who Handles the Planning With You

Joe Cummins, our General Manager and Private Events Sales Manager, works directly with groups on space configuration, catering, layout, and timing for their retreat.
