Getting here is part of the experience. Route 60 south from Zanesville follows the Muskingum River through rolling hills, river valleys, and small Ohio towns that most people never slow down enough to discover.

​

Locals call it the Route 60 River Run. You'll call it the best part of your trip.

What's Waiting When You Arrive

Two beautifully restored 19th-century properties on Main Street in McConnelsville — four suites in the Stone House, built in 1835, and two spacious kitchenette suites in the Morris House, built in 1844.

​

Every morning, Dan is up before you are, cooking a scratch-made breakfast served on vintage china in our historic dining room. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you linger over coffee longer than you planned.

​

Amy will know your name before you arrive and remember how you take your coffee before you ask.
