This giant bucket is all that remains of Big Muskie.

Big Muskie was a coal-mining dragline excavator, longer than a football field, weighing 12,200 tons and standing nearly 22 stories tall. It operated in southeastern Ohio from 1969 to 1991.

It was the largest machine ever to move on land.

The 220 cubic yard bucket could hold two full size buses.

"Nice home. Quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed our stay."

"Our weekend was wonderful. The apartment is super cute and very clean. The snacks and water were very much appreciated. Within walking distance of the Brewery which was delicious. Thanks for hosting us!"

"The rental property was great. Two bedrooms nice and spacious. Plenty of parking. It's a pretty quiet area. The only reason it's not a five-star rating is the internet is horrible. The TVs disconnect from the internet every 30 minutes or so and I tried to use the Wi-Fi and could not because it was so slow. Other than that it was a great experience and I would stay again."

"Perfect location & accommodations to visit McConnellsville, one of Ohio's best small towns."

5/5 Excellent

"This was an excellent Hampton Inn for the reasons stated above. The surrounding restaurant selection looked promising, but the chain restaurants were all understaffed. We googled our way to a decent Mexican restaurant, Tlaquepaque, in a cruddy strip mall. It ended up being a rather pleasant experience and much better than the chain restaurants would have been, even if fully-staffed."

5/5 Excellent

Great hotel

"First time staying there. It was a very nice hotel. The beds and pillows were very soft and comfortable. It was nice to have Dove soap in the shower and on the sink provided by the hotel. The hot tub was amazing, but the pool wasn't as warm as we would've liked it. Breakfast was really nice and the cinnamon rolls were the best."
