Hueston Woods Resort is a spacious lodge situated above one of Ohio's most scenic lakes. The facility offers the ideal setting for informational meetings as well as breathtaking scenery in vast parklands. The Resort and Conference Center offers a nice change from the harried pace of the city with full conference and recreational opportunities in an environment conducive to learning, socializing, or relaxing. Please contact the resort soon to make reservations, as space is limited.
