    From the highway
    I D.

    We stumbled upon this place online while google searching places to stay in the area as we drove through. All of the other hotels were booked and expensive because of the holiday (Thanksgiving). It is right off the hwy but google took us all the way into the town of Emlenton. It is actually hidden on top of a hill behind the Shell gas station. The price was reasonable..$50 (taxes incl) compared to $70+ everywhere else that only had smoking rooms avail, if any. Front desk was friendly and welcoming. The place is old but, they seem to keep it up well. It's def one of those simple places to sleep, clean enough and comparable to Super 8. It was surprisingly empty but, I'm guessing it's because they don't really have a good sign on the road. Definitely a hidden gem for those in desperate need of a place to stay.

    We ended up staying in the Emlenton Motor Inn after our car broke down just before the exit on our drive from New York to Ohio. The mechanic said they couldn't get the part installed until the next day, so we were forced to stay the night, but he said that thankfully there was a pleasant motel right up the hill. We didn't know what type of place it would be, and couldn't have been more pleased that it ended up being a friendly, clean, and comfortable place to stay. The owners were very kind and welcoming, and the room was very clean, which is what matters most as far as I'm concerned. The decor was a bit dated, but in a way I found pleasantly nostalgic and unique, not like staying in a generic chain motel/hotel, and the restaurant down the hill did a decent dinner and breakfast. There may have been some faint traffic noise from the highway seeping in at night, but nothing I couldn't sleep through. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise view from the top of the hill. Overall a very pleasant stay for very cheap. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, even if our car doesn't break down! We were fortunate enough to have a bad thing happen in a good place.

    Nice rooms.

    Decent place. Clean. No frills. Run by a very accommodating Indian couple. Great, unpretentious place to get a night's sleep on the road.

    First bed and breakfast I have stayed in and this place has me sold. Gorgeous, big old house with…read moreso much charm. Amazing wood framing and floors, private guest rooms (two share a large patio off the front of the house), two kitchens and so much more! The owners are the sweetest! They are more than helpful, accomodating, knowledgeable about the area (history and local events). Plus, they make a killer breakfast! As a "green girl" I sincerely appreciate the heath and sustainability of the couple and the property. Your eggs can be fried with coconut oil and paired with fresh vegetables from their garden. They compost and only clean with sustainable products. Also earth concious, they have solar panels and water efficient toilets. The rooms are cozy and the beds comfortable as can be. Even the pillows were great - I know because I usually have to travel with my own due to my TMJ. The master suite has a phenomenal hot tub (see pics) which is well worth the stay right there! Better than any of the finest hotel tubs in Vegas, which I know first hand. Note, it's right off a semi-busy street in town and you can sometimes hear the traffic, but when the windows and doors are closed you barely hear a thing. I highly recommend and can't wait for the opportunity to go back!

    My wife and I just returned from staying at the Witherup House for three days and had a delightful…read morestay. The building was a structurally sound gracious old home, yet the amenities were as modern and accommodating as one might find in a modern hotel. As I looked around in every room, on every wall, on every table and in every nook there was a well decorated elegance and charm - books, throws, photos, art and even grand pianos (2). More importantly Marty and Ann are the quintessential hosts. The perfect balance of charming and engaging without hovering around. Their breakfasts are delicious and Marty's coffee (New Orleans style) is the best. Don't miss breakfast! I cannot recommend their fine house and their warm company strongly enough. Tom and Allison
