Favorite Innkeepers Amy & Dan Together in front of the Ohio Valley Opry
We can't wait to MEET YOU!

Hi there! We’re Amy and Dan, the proud innkeepers of The Inns at 8th and Main, right here in the heart of McConnelsville, Ohio. We love sharing our little corner of history and hospitality with guests from near and far. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a relaxing group retreat, a business trip, or an adventure from across the globe, we’re here to make your stay something truly memorable.


We’re not just offering a place to rest your head—we’re offering a story, a connection to history, and an experience that feels like home, wrapped in the unique charm of small-town America. Here’s a glimpse into why The Inns at 8th and Main might just be the perfect place for you.


Historic Charm with Modern Comfort


If you love history (and we sure do!), you’ll feel right at home here. Our two lovingly restored 19th-century properties—The Stone House (1835) and The Morris House (1844)—are filled with stories of the past.


The Stone House, originally built as a stagecoach stop and tavern, has seen generations of travelers and now offers a cozy and unique place to stay. Walking through its halls, you can almost imagine the clip-clop of horses outside and the laughter of travelers gathered by the fire.


The Morris House, with its connection to the long-standing Morris family and the 6th-generation Morris Hardware store downtown, exudes timeless elegance. Celebrating its 180th anniversary, this home brings the rich history of McConnelsville to life.


But don’t worry—modern comfort is just as important to us as history! Each room is designed to offer the best of both worlds: vintage charm paired with luxurious beds, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches to make your stay as cozy as possible.
