The Space
Gather indoors and out—from the golf simulator and private theater to cozy evenings around the fire pit with s’mores.
The Oaks @ The Oberlin Palais is designed to make time together feel easy. With generous gathering areas, multiple places to relax, and thoughtful separation between shared and private spaces, the home supports both connection and comfort throughout your stay.
A dedicated golf and multi-sport simulator offers all-weather recreation for guests of all ages, while the private theater creates a natural space for movie nights, game-day viewing, or unwinding together at the end of the day. Outdoors, the fire pit invites conversation, laughter, and memory-making—especially during cooler evenings.
The home is accessibility-forward, featuring a private elevator, zero-entry showers, and wide circulation paths that allow guests of varying ages and mobility levels to move comfortably throughout the space. Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or traveling as a multi-generational group, The Oaks is designed to help everyone feel welcome and at ease.
