Founded in March 2020 by the Christopher family, Tall Oaks began with a vision to bring a premier destination venue and genuine family hospitality to Northeast Ohio. The original Kirtland estate features a handcrafted 11,000-square-foot timber barn alongside thirteen woodland suites at the Carriage House Inn, while their reimagined Sheffield Village waterfront adds a second Grand Barn and signature Island Barn. Two distinct properties, three extraordinary venues, and one family’s hands-on care from start to finish.
