A Home Away From Home

The Oberlin Palais was absolutely stunning! From the front we weren't expecting the house to be as big as it was. The game room and movie theater was a huge hit! We celebrated my grandmas 93rd birthday and this was one of the few properties that didn't mind additional guests coming by and leaving. We had about 30 people and there was more than enough parking and house space for everyone to gather. Sheila was always a phone call away and helped out with every little issue. The kids loved popcorn and smores. The elevator was perfect for people who needed it. We look forward to returning again.
