Hidden gem! What a wonderful, comfortable stay. Our room was spacious and very well laid out. The bed and pillows were ultra comfortable. I loved the breakfast, it was so delicious with lots of choices and good coffee. The house is beautiful, a cool addition is the billiards room hidden behind a bookcase. So chic.

We had a wonderful time visiting Paducah, thanks in part to our comfortable, spacious, and spotlessly clean room. The B&B was in easy walking distance to the National Quilt Museum. We opted for breakfast vouchers for the Gold Rush restaurant and it was incredible.
