A Quiet Weekend Getaway Just 90 Minutes from Columbus
Sometimes the best getaway is simply leaving the city behind for a quieter place.
​​
Located about 90 minutes from Columbus, The Inns at 8th and Main offer a welcoming stay in the historic river town of McConnelsville, Ohio. Guests from Columbus often visit for a weekend of slower mornings, scenic Appalachian drives, and the charm of a small town where everything is within walking distance.
​
Spend the day exploring the Muskingum River valley, visiting local shops and restaurants, or simply relaxing in one of our historic homes before gathering around the breakfast table the next morning.
It is the kind of stay that reminds you travel does not have to be far away to feel different.
​​
Choose Your Kind of Weekend
​​
A getaway from Columbus does not need a packed schedule. Spend your time exploring historic McConnelsville, visiting The Wilds, following a scenic road through Southeast Ohio—or simply enjoying a slower morning with nowhere you need to be.
​
Eat, Sip & Stroll Downtown
Check in, leave the car parked, and enjoy a relaxed evening in historic McConnelsville. Walk to locally owned restaurants, coffee, shops, the Muskingum River, and Old Bridge Brewing Company—all without adding another long drive to your day.
​
Plan a Wilds Adventure
Spend the day on safari at The Wilds, then return to McConnelsville for a quiet evening and a comfortable night at the Inn.
​
Take the Scenic Route
Trade city traffic for rolling hills, river views, and the Route 60 River Run—where the drive becomes part of the getaway.

What Makes a Stay at The Inns Different
Choose the Stay That Fits
Settle into a historic Stone House room, a spacious Morris House suite, or the privacy of Lavender House. Each offers a different way to slow down, get comfortable, and feel at home.

Stone and Morris House stays include a full homemade breakfast served on vintage china. Breakfast may be added to select Lavender House stays when available.
