Life moves fast—and sometimes, what we really need is a weekend to slow down, reconnect, and spend time with the people we love most.

We are The Robinson Family’s 4th of July Tradition.

That’s exactly why we’ve opened up The Stone House at The Inns at 8th and Main as a whole house rental in McConnelsville, Ohio—so families can unwind, unplug, and enjoy meaningful time together in a historic small-town setting.

Whether you're planning a quick escape, a birthday celebration, or just craving cozy connection time, a family weekend getaway in Ohio doesn’t get better than this.


Your Own Private Retreat at The Stone House


When you book The Stone House, you’re booking the entire home for your group—perfect for families who want to stay under one roof without giving up comfort or privacy.


The Stone House offers:
