Good place to stay on 78 in southern Ohio

Just got done playing on the roads between Zanesville and Athens... A really cool stop is the Stockport Mill Inn. Its a real old mill thats been converted to an inn with reasonably priced rooms. Not far from Burr Oak Lodge, but a hell of a lot nicer, and only a little more expensive. Every room has a balcony overlooking the rushing water, and a river view.

The interior has all the old wood beams intact, and a lot of the historic mill machinery is still there, too.

It has the funky cool feel of yesteryear, dependable internet, but irritatingly, no ATT phone service.

There is an in house restaurant, but thats only open Fri and weekends. You must bring your own beer/wine.

Its not unlike sleeping directly over a waterfall. If you are riding with your honey, she'll love it...I did:)

I can vouch for the Stockport Mill Inn. Everything said above is right on. Better make reservations, though, lots of people know about the place. Prices, not bad - you really do want the top suites.

Can't say I stayed there but got a tour from the folks that run it including the crow's nest suite. Looked great and the roads were a relaxing journey. It was written up in one of the motorcycle mags. The "Ridin' Safe" training program wraps up its road class tour with a stay there.
