Wild Lot House, located outside of Midland, Ohio and less than an hour from Cincinnati and Dayton (and about 1 1/4 hours from Columbus), will be available for short-term (week-long) and longer-term (up to one month) residencies in 2026. Featuring 3 bedrooms (one on first floor) and 2.5 baths, our 1850’s saltbox-style farmhouse has space to accommodate both small groups and families. A residency stay at Wild Lot House will be a low-fi, immersive experience – rural (but not remote!) – with over 20 acres of meadows and woods for you to meander upon.

While we aim to keep costs low for all participants, competitive full and partial scholarships will be available to offset expenses for those unable to pay the full amount, with special funding reserved for families with children and low-income individuals. Anyone with a creative project or goal who could benefit from time in our pastoral residency is welcome to apply.

You can follow our progress on Instagram.

We are currently looking for beta testers. In exchange for a week’s stay we ask only for copious feedback and a few shout-outs on social media. If this sounds like you, feel free to drop us a line!
