Ride the curves. Sleep somewhere that matters.

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.
Many riders choose McConnelsville as their overnight stop because it offers easy access to Route 555 and dining, lodging, and small-town hospitality all within walking distance.
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.
