The whole preserve, to yourselves
58 acres, one booking at a time. No shared walls, no neighbours.
Sleep that actually resets you
Blackout quiet, real beds, a hot tub under trees instead of a parking lot.

Live nightly pricing, itemised. Hold your dates free for 24 hours, no card.
Exclusive use of everything
A buyout combines the Sculptor's Art Lodge and the Sculptor's Art Bungalow with exclusive use of the 58-acre preserve. Eighteen overnight guests is the hard ceiling, transformation does not happen in crowds, so the property never hosts more than that.
Made for multi-day programs
Facilitators, retreat leaders, and companies use buyouts when the schedule needs the whole property: a breathwork session on the forest platform in the morning, a plant-based chef dinner in the Lodge at night, and a quiet room for two when someone needs to step out of the group.
Ceremonies and milestones
Forest weddings, elopements, and vow renewals happen on the platform among the trees. Because the whole preserve is yours, the ceremony, the celebration, and the recovery day after all live in one place.

Before you ask
Questions guests ask first
Do we ever share the property with another booking?
No. One booking at a time. The 58 acres, the trails, the fire pits and the forest platform are yours for the length of your stay.
What does it cost to hold dates?
Nothing. We hold your dates free for 24 hours while you check with everyone else, and no card is needed to ask.
Can we add breathwork, sound baths or a chef dinner?
Yes, and it is the reason most guests book direct. You add sessions while booking and they appear on one itemised total, no vendor chasing.
Is it really adults only?
Yes, by intention. Maximum 18 overnight adults across the whole property, which is what keeps it quiet enough for the wildlife to behave normally.
How far is it from the parks and from Columbus?
One hour from Columbus, and Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkles Hollow and Rock House are all within 15 miles.
