Quick answer

Common questions about Moto Supreme: the minimum stay is three nights, the property sleeps around 20 across 13 beds in three cabins, every guest signs a waiver, pets are welcome, and booking runs through Airbnb. Guests bring their own dirt bikes and ATVs.

Three-night minimum. Dates hand off to Airbnb with your selection prefilled.

01

Booking and rules

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.
Do we get the whole property to ourselves?
Yes, we only book one group at a time. That means all 174 acres, all three cabins and every trail on the property belong to your group for the length of your stay. You won't be sharing the trails with strangers or coordinating with another party, which is the main reason groups come back.
When do we get the exact address?
The exact address and gate directions go out after your booking is confirmed. The public listing shows Norman, Indiana, because the property is private and we'd rather not have people turning up at the gate unannounced. Once you're booked, you'll get everything you need including where to park trailers and how to get in.
02

The cabins

How many cabins are there?
There are three cabins on the property. Two are sleeping cabins with kitchens and full bathrooms, and the third is the bar cabin, which is the gathering space with a half bath and a loft bed. They sit close enough together that your group stays connected but far enough apart that people who turn in early aren't listening to the ones who don't.
How many beds and bathrooms are there?
There are 13 beds across the three cabins, which sleeps around 20 people when some of your group shares. For bathrooms, the two sleeping cabins each have a full bathroom, and the bar cabin has a half bath so nobody's walking across the property in the middle of the night.
Do the cabins have kitchens?
Two of the three cabins have full kitchens with a refrigerator, range, microwave and the basics you'd need to cook for a group. The bar cabin doesn't have a kitchen, which is on purpose since nothing gets cooked in there. Most groups do their cooking in one of the sleeping cabins and use the bar cabin for everything after dinner.
What is the bar cabin?
The bar cabin is the middle building and it's where your group will end up every night. It's got a built-in bar, neon on the walls, seating for the whole group, an arcade machine, a half bath and a loft bed tucked above. Think of it as the room you'd build if you knew everyone was coming back muddy and wanting to sit down together.
Is there heat and air conditioning?
Yes, the cabins are set up for year-round stays with heating and cooling, which matters here because southern Indiana gives you humid summers and genuinely cold winters. Groups book this place in every season, including deer season in November and holiday gatherings in December.
Is there Wi-Fi and cell service?
There's Wi-Fi at the cabins. Cell service depends on your carrier, and out in the hills it can get spotty once you're away from the buildings and down in the trails. Most groups treat that as part of the appeal, but if you need to stay reachable for work, plan to do it from the cabins rather than from the far end of the property.
Do we need to bring our own linens and towels?
Linens and towels are provided, so you don't need to pack bedding for 20 people. What you will want to bring is anything specific to your group, like extra towels if you're planning a lot of creek time, and your own toiletries. Message Aaron if you want the current list of what's stocked before you shop.
Is there a grill or fire pit?
Yes, there's a fire pit outside with seating around it, and it's where most groups spend their evenings before moving indoors. Ask Aaron about grill availability when you book so you know whether to bring your own. Plenty of groups bring a portable grill anyway when they're cooking for a big crowd.
Is the property good for people who don't ride?
Yes, and a good share of our guests never get on a machine. There's hiking across all 174 acres, the creek, the fire pit, the bar cabin, and the Knobstone Trail running through the property for anyone who'd rather walk it than ride it. Groups often split up during the day and come back together at night.
Is the property accessible for older guests or small children?
The cabins themselves are straightforward to get in and out of, and plenty of families bring grandparents and young kids. What to keep in mind is that this is a working trail property, so the ground between buildings is uneven in places and the trails have real drop-offs. Families usually set ground rules on day one about where the little ones can wander.
03

Riding and the land

Can we ride dirt bikes and ATVs on the property?
Yes, guests have private access to miles of trail across all 174 acres. Dirt bikes, ATVs, side-by-sides and UTVs are all ridden here regularly. The trails run through hill country with elevation changes, wooded sections and creek crossings, so there's variety whether your group is experienced or still learning.
Do you rent machines?
No, we don't rent dirt bikes, ATVs or side-by-sides, so plan on bringing your own. Most groups trailer theirs in and there's room to park and unload. If nobody in your group has machines, the property still works well as a cabin retreat with hiking, the creek and the bar cabin, and plenty of groups book it that way.
How many miles of trail are there?
The trails wind across the full 174 acres, and because the terrain is hilly and wooded, the riding covers a lot more ground than the acreage suggests. Riders were driving here from across the Midwest for about 30 years when it was open to the public, which tells you more about the trail network than a mileage number would.
Is Moto Supreme open to the public for riding?
The property isn't open for public riding anymore. It ran as a public off-road park for roughly 30 years and a lot of people have good memories of it, so we understand the disappointment. Booking the property is how you ride here now, and the upside is that your group has every trail to itself while you're on it.
What skill level do the trails suit?
The trails suit a wide range, from riders who are still getting comfortable to people who've been riding for decades. There are easier stretches and there are sections with real drop-offs, ruts and creek banks. Because your group has the place to itself, you can go at whatever pace suits the people you brought.
Is there somewhere to park trailers?
Yes, there's room to park trailers and unload machines. Tell Aaron what you're bringing when you book, especially if you've got multiple trucks and trailers or something oversized, and he'll make sure you know where to put everything before you arrive.
Is there water or a creek on the property?
Yes, there's a creek running through the property with rocky banks and crossings, and it's one of the spots guests end up at whether they're riding or walking. Water levels change with the season and the weather, so what you find in April looks different from August.
Can we ride at night?
Yes, you've got the property to yourselves, so night riding is up to your group. Bring lights, and be aware that the terrain that felt manageable in daylight reads very differently after dark. Most groups do one night ride per trip and take it slower than they would during the day.
What happens if it rains?
The trails ride differently in the wet, and for a lot of riders that's the appeal. Southern Indiana clay gets slick and the low sections hold water, so expect mud and pack accordingly. If the weather looks rough for your dates, message Aaron and he'll tell you what conditions are actually like on the ground.
Does the Knobstone Trail run through the property?
Yes, the Knobstone Trail passes through the property, which is a real draw for guests who want to hike as well as ride. It's Indiana's longest hiking trail, and having it run across the land means you can walk straight onto it without driving anywhere.
04

Hunting

Do you offer skeet shooting or horseback riding?
Both are by arrangement with ownership, and neither is included with a cabin booking. Skeet means bringing your own guns, ammunition, clays and thrower, arranged with Aaron for your dates. Nothing's provided or rented here. Horseback riding here means bringing your own horses and riding the property. There aren't any horses kept on site and we don't provide them. More on shooting here and on riding here. Neither runs on an open or unsupervised basis.
Can we hunt on the property?
Only by arrangement, and it's priced separately. Short-term hunting access is quoted between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the season, the size of your party and the dates. Hunting isn't included with a cabin booking and renting the property doesn't carry a right to hunt on it. Message Aaron before you book with your dates and what you are hunting, and he will tell you what is open, what the terms are, and what it costs. Groups do book here as hunting camps, particularly in the fall.
What game is in the area?
Southern Indiana hill country supports whitetail deer and wild turkey, and the wooded terrain here is the kind they favor. If you're planning a hunting trip, talk it through with Aaron first so you know what to expect on this specific property rather than the region in general.
Do we need an Indiana hunting license?
Yes, Indiana hunting licenses are required and they're issued by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, not by us. Check the current season dates and license requirements on the DNR website before you travel, since regulations and dates change year to year.
Is the property good for a hunting camp?
It works well for one. You get the whole property to yourselves, three cabins with beds for around 20, kitchens for cooking what you bring back, a fire pit, and enough room that a group can spread out. The hunting itself is a separate arrangement at its own rate, so agree it with Aaron before you book rather than after you turn up.

Location and getting there

Where is Moto Supreme located?
Moto Supreme sits in Norman, Indiana, 47264, in the hill country of southern Indiana. It's rural, wooded and genuinely quiet. The exact address goes out after booking, along with gate directions and where to park.
How far is it from Indianapolis?
It's roughly an hour and a half south of Indianapolis, which makes it an easy Friday evening drive for groups coming from the metro. Most Indianapolis groups leave after work, arrive in time to unload, and are on the trails first thing Saturday morning.
How far is it from Louisville?
Louisville is around an hour and a half away, so groups coming up from Kentucky have about the same drive as the Indianapolis crowd. That puts Moto Supreme within comfortable range of two decent-sized cities without being close to either one.
How far is it from Lake Monroe?
Lake Monroe is about 30 minutes away, which makes it easy to add a day on the water to a riding weekend. It's Indiana's largest lake and a common side trip for groups who want a change of pace midway through the stay.
Is it near Hoosier National Forest?
Yes, the property sits near Hoosier National Forest, which covers a large stretch of southern Indiana. That's part of why the surroundings feel as remote as they do. There's plenty to explore in the area if your group wants to get off the property for a day.
What's the nearest town for groceries and gas?
There are small towns nearby for fuel and basic supplies, but this is rural southern Indiana, so plan on doing a proper grocery run before you get close. Most groups stock up in a larger town on the way in. Ask Aaron for his current recommendation when you book, since he knows what's open and what isn't.
Do we need four-wheel drive to get there?
Most vehicles make it in fine under normal conditions. What's worth thinking about is what you're towing and what the weather's been doing, since rural roads and the property approach handle differently after heavy rain or snow. If you're pulling a loaded trailer or coming in winter, message Aaron and ask about current conditions.
Is there anything else to do in the area?
There's a fair bit. Lake Monroe is about 30 minutes out, Hoosier National Forest is nearby, and the Knobstone Trail runs right through the property for hiking. Bloomington and Nashville, Indiana are both within reach for a meal out or a change of scenery.

Practical questions

What should we bring?
Bring your machines, riding gear, and groceries for the length of your stay. Linens and towels are provided. Beyond that, think about layers since the hills run cooler than town, boots you don't mind ruining, and more towels than you'd expect if the creek is running. Message Aaron for the current stocked list before you shop.
Is there a store or restaurant on site?
No, there's nothing on the property to buy food or supplies, so come stocked. That's part of what makes the place feel remote. Groups usually plan one big shop on the way in and treat the kitchens as their base for the weekend.
Can we bring our own alcohol?
Yes, bring what you'd like. The bar cabin is set up as a gathering space with seating and a built-in bar, but it's not stocked, so whatever your group wants to drink comes with you. Plenty of groups plan that shop as carefully as the food.
Is there a quiet-hours policy?
Because you've got all 174 acres to yourselves and no neighbors close by, there isn't a quiet-hours policy the way there would be at a typical rental. Use common sense about the hour and the wildlife, and enjoy the fact that nobody's going to knock on the door.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancellation runs through Airbnb and the current terms are shown on the listing before you confirm, so check them there since they're the ones that apply. If something changes with your dates after booking, message Aaron as early as you can and he'll work with you where he's able.
Who hosts the property?
Aaron and Whitney host Moto Supreme. They're responsive through the Airbnb messaging, and the reviews consistently mention how easy they are to deal with. If you've got a question this page doesn't answer, sending Aaron a message is the fastest way to get a straight answer.
How are the reviews?
The listing holds a 5.0 rating across its reviews and carries Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge. It's a newer listing, so the review count is still building, but what's there is consistent about the trails, the bar cabin and how much space a group gets to itself.
What if we've never done a trip like this before?
That's a lot of our guests, and it works out fine. Message Aaron before you book and tell him what your group looks like, what you're bringing and what you're hoping to do. He'd rather help you plan it properly than have you show up unsure. There's no wrong way to use the place as long as everyone rides within what they can handle.
