Meet your Innkeepers
​
We're Amy and Dan, and this is genuinely our home.
Over the years, we’ve restored two 19th-century houses on Main Street because we believe the best stays feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to place and home.
​
We greet guests by name, remember the details that matter most, and work to make every stay feel warm, easy, and well cared for.

Discover McConnelsville
Step outside the Inn and you're already there.
Historic streets, the Muskingum River, a craft brewery, the 1892 Opera House, and nearby adventures like The Wilds are all part of the experience at The Inns at 8th & Main, along with some of the best small-town wandering in Ohio. If you love the idea of Hocking Hills but are looking for something quieter, more personal, and walkable, you’ll find that here.
​
And when the day is done, breakfast is waiting for you in the morning.
