Motorcycle-Friendly Lodging in Southeast Ohio
Near State Route 78, Route 555, and The Windy 9
Ride the curves. Sleep somewhere that matters.
Located in historic McConnelsville, The Inns at 8th & Main offers boutique lodging in the center of three of Ohio’s most celebrated motorcycle routes. If you are riding Southeast Ohio for the scenery, the sweepers, and the quiet backroads, you are exactly where you need to be.
This is not a roadside motel.
This is a five-star historic stay built for riders who appreciate comfort.
Ride State Route 78
State Route 78 is one of Ohio’s most scenic motorcycle rides. Long sweeping curves, ridge-top views, farmland valleys, and stretches of peaceful Appalachian forest.
It is technical enough to be satisfying and open enough to breathe
.
Spend the day riding 78 and return to a hot shower, a real bed, and a quiet evening in a historic riverside town.
Tackle the Triple Nickel | State Route 555
Route 555, known as The Triple Nickel, is tighter and more demanding. Riders come from across the Midwest to test its curves.
If you are riding 555, you want a comfortable place to recover afterward.
Our suites offer private baths, quality mattresses, and peaceful surroundings so you can rest well before heading back out.
Explore the Windy 9
The Windy 9 connects nine premier riding routes through Appalachian Ohio. Forests, river valleys, rolling farmland, and small towns untouched by heavy traffic.
You can spend an entire weekend riding different loops without repeating a mile.
McConnelsville places you in the center of it all.
