The short version

One property. Your whole group.
No neighbors.

Most group rentals give you a big house on a small lot. This gives you a small village on a large piece of land. You book all 174 acres, all three cabins, and every trail on it. Nobody else is riding, hunting, or walking through while you're here, because there is no public access anymore. The gate closes behind you.

Sleeps about 20

Thirteen beds spread across three separate cabins, so families, couples, and the guys who snore all get their own building. Two cabins have kitchens and full baths.

Trails you already know

Hill climbs, woods loops, and open ground that riders have been filming here since 2008. The Knobstone Trail runs straight through the property.

A real bar in the middle

The center cabin is a neon-lit lounge with a half bath. People do sleep in it. Not early, though.

The middle building

Open
late

By ten at night every group trip has collapsed into one room. Here that room is already built, and somebody put a bar in it. Neon on the walls, seating that fits everybody, a half bath so nobody's walking to another cabin, and no kitchen to clean because nothing gets cooked in here.

  • Neon-lit lounge and gathering space
  • Sleeps 3 more if you need it
  • Half bath in the building
  • Sits between both sleeping cabins

Everybody gets a bed.
Nobody has to share a wall.

Two full cabins handle sleeping and cooking. The third handles everything else. Give a group separate buildings and the trip goes better. Everyone has somewhere to retreat to.

174 acres, one group at a time

The trails didn't go anywhere

This is southern Indiana hill country, which means climbs, ravines, and hardwood. The riding terrain that made this place a name is still here. So is quiet ground for the people who'd rather walk it.

Motorsports

Miles of private trail for dirt bikes, ATVs, and side-by-sides. No day-pass line and no group ahead of you. A signed waiver is required for every guest.

Hiking

The Knobstone Trail, Indiana's longest footpath, runs through the property. Walk out the cabin door and onto it.

Mountain biking

The same climbs and loops work on two wheels without a motor. The elevation here is real, not a rail trail.

Hunting

Mixed woods and open ground with deer, turkey, and small game, plus trails to set stands or scout on foot.

Outside, after dark

Fire pit, grill, and picnic tables. Light pollution out here is close to nothing, so the sky after sundown is worth staying up for.

Room to let kids run

Wide open space, no through traffic, no other guests anywhere on the property. Pets are allowed, and they get the same 174 acres you do.

1990s to now

How a legendary Indiana
riding spot went private

Ask anyone who rode dirt in Indiana before smartphones and they'll bring up Moto Supreme. It sat in the hills west of Kurtz, off Highway 50 between Bedford and Brownstown, and for decades it was the answer to "where can we actually ride around here."

Riders came from Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, and further out. Forum threads from the late 2000s read like directions passed hand to hand: take the Seymour exit, northwest to Freetown, west to Kurtz, then a mile down a lane on the left. People described hill climbs, a flat track, woods loops, and creek crossings.

Access came and went. The gates closed, opened, and closed again. Riders kept showing up anyway, and kept filming. One of the videos below is literally titled "Riding at the Abandoned Moto Supreme."

The land is under new ownership now and the public riding era is over. What replaced it is smaller in headcount and a lot better if you're the one holding the keys. Three cabins went in. A bar cabin went in the middle. The trails stayed.

Filed under: proof

Strangers have been filming
this place since 2008

We didn't have to build a highlight reel. Riders did it for us, year after year, on whatever camera they had strapped to a helmet. Press play and see the ground you'd be staying on.

All events welcome

What people book it for

Three-night minimum, sixteen-plus guests allowed, whole property to yourselves. A lake house cannot really do that. This can.

Family reunions

Multiple households, multiple buildings, one fire pit. Grandparents in a full cabin, cousins in the loft beds, everybody at the same picnic table.

Riding trips

Haul the bikes in, park the trailer, ride private ground for three days without buying a day pass or waiting on anyone.

Bachelor and bachelorette

A bar cabin, 174 acres of privacy, and no hotel front desk. Nobody's within earshot to file a noise complaint.

Hunting camp

Deer, turkey, and small game across mixed cover, trails to set stands, and three buildings to come back to.

Holidays

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. Two kitchens, thirteen beds, and enough room that nobody's on top of each other for four days.

Company retreats

Offsites that don't happen in a conference room, with Indianapolis about ninety minutes north.

Airbnb lists 32 amenities in total. If something specific matters for your trip, ask Aaron before you book. He answers fast.

Arranged separately

Skeet, horseback
and hunting

Three things the property can do that aren't part of a cabin booking. Each one gets arranged with ownership ahead of time and priced on its own.

Skeet shooting

Bring your own guns, clays and thrower. Arranged with ownership on dates agreed before your stay, and nothing's provided or rented here. How shooting here works.

Horseback riding

Bring your own horses and ride the property. Arranged with ownership ahead of time so the ground and the dates work. There aren't any horses kept here and we don't provide them. How riding here works.

Hunting

Seasonal, and arranged with ownership before you book. Short-term access is quoted between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the season, your party size and the dates. You'll need an Indiana DNR license. What the ground holds.

None of these is included with a cabin booking. Renting the property doesn't carry a right to hunt, shoot or ride on it, and none of the three runs on an open or unsupervised basis. Message Aaron for dates, terms and a quote. It's usually a short conversation.

Know before you book

Three-night minimum

We ask for three nights or more. Most groups spend the first day unloading and learning the trails, so the extra time is what makes the trip worth the drive.

Waiver required

Every guest signs one before the stay, and Aaron sends it over as soon as you book. The ground out here has real ruts, steep banks and creek crossings, so it just makes sure everyone knows what they are walking into.

Check in and out

Check in after 12:00 PM. Check out before 12:00 PM.

Pets welcome

Dogs are allowed, and there's plenty of room for them to run.

Answers

Common questions

The eight people ask most. All fifteen are on the FAQ page.

What is the minimum stay at Moto Supreme?
The minimum stay is three nights. We set it there because the property takes a day to settle into, and almost every group tells us the same thing: day one is unloading and figuring out the trails, and it's day two and three when everyone actually relaxes. If your dates are tight, message Aaron through the listing before you book and he'll tell you honestly whether it works.
How do I book Moto Supreme?
Booking goes through our Airbnb listing, which handles payment, cancellation and all the messaging in one place. Check your dates there first, and if you have questions about trailer parking, the waiver, or fitting a bigger group, send Aaron a message before you book. He'd rather answer ten questions up front than have you arrive and find something wasn't what you pictured.
How many guests are allowed?
The listing is set for 16 or more guests, and the property comfortably sleeps around 20 across 13 beds when a few people are willing to share. Bigger groups are welcome and they're honestly what this place is built for. If your headcount is above 20 or you're bringing kids who'll double up, message Aaron and he'll help you work out the sleeping arrangements.
Is a waiver required?
Yes, every guest signs a waiver before the stay, and Aaron will send it over once your booking is confirmed. The terrain here is genuine trail ground with ruts, steep banks and creek crossings, so the waiver makes sure everyone in your group knows what they're riding into. It takes a minute to sign and it covers riders and non-riders alike.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is after 12:00 PM and check-out is before 12:00 PM, so you get the full afternoon on your arrival day to unload trailers and get out on the trails while there's still light. If you're driving in from a distance and need a little flexibility on either end, ask Aaron. He'll accommodate when the calendar allows.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, pets are welcome, and there's a lot of room for them out here. Most dogs love it. Just keep in mind that with 174 acres of open trail, machines moving around and wildlife in the woods, you'll want to keep an eye on them, especially the first few hours while they get their bearings.
Are there security cameras on the property?
There are exterior security cameras covering the outside of the property, and the cabins have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms inside. There are no cameras inside any of the cabins. The exterior ones are there for the same reason you'd want them on a remote property, which is keeping an eye on the buildings when nobody's booked.
Can we host an event or a party?
Yes, and we host a lot of them. Family reunions, milestone birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette weekends, hunting camps, holiday gatherings and company retreats all book here. Because you get the whole property to yourselves, you're not working around other guests or a quiet-hours policy. Tell Aaron what you're planning and he'll flag anything worth knowing in advance.

Your hosts

Aaron and Whitney

Aaron and Whitney host Moto Supreme. They took the property on knowing exactly what it used to be, which is why the trails are still cut and the buildings are still standing rather than being turned into something else. Aaron handles the messages himself, so when you ask about trailer parking or whether your group size works, you're talking to the person who actually knows.

The rest of the week, Aaron runs Indy Roof & Restoration, the Indianapolis roofing and storm restoration company he founded in 2018. His crews handle residential and commercial roofing, metal roofing, siding, gutters, interior paint and water damage restoration across Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Greenwood and Brownsburg. Most jobs start with storm damage, and they usually walk the homeowner through the insurance claim at the same time. BBB accredited since 2019.

What tells you more about how they operate is what happens when there's no storm. Indy Roof & Restoration puts free roofs on Habitat for Humanity builds, backs Fountains of Hope for clean drinking water overseas, and every August packs more than 1,500 backpacks with school supplies and gives them away to anyone who needs one. They sponsor the Brownsburg Little League softball girls, the Beech Grove marching band and the Shelbyville Animal Shelter. It's a roofing company that behaves like a neighbor, which is roughly the same instinct behind keeping 174 acres of trail intact instead of selling it off.
