I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
There’s no shortage of beautiful, historic places to rest your head for a night in the Bluegrass. We’ve got everything from real-life castles and charming old homes to Airbnbs belonging to world-famous Kentuckians! You can add “historic guest house” to the list of incredible Kentucky accommodations, too. The Historic Belle Louise in Kentucky is a Bluegrass icon: a piece of living history that absolutely belongs on your bucket list.
On the streets of Paducah, Kentucky, sits the Belle Louise, a regal beauty of a home.
This Italianate mansion was built in 1879 by Lt. Col. Daniel Fraser, who, along with his wife Sallie Abigail and their eight children, lived here happily until 1895. The home has since been beautifully restored to provide guests with a unique and unparalleled historical experience.
If you want a true feel for how Paducah was in the late 19th century, opt for a carriage ride through town!

Inside, a charming mix of old and new awaits -- authentic period décor is intertwined with modern touches (including WiFi and flat-screen TVs), allowing guests to comfortably step back in time.
The property features five different guest rooms in the main house, each completely enchanting and well-appointed. Four-poster beds, fireplaces, and beautiful antique furniture make each room completely comfortable and cozy.
The bathrooms are equally contemporary yet classic; choose to unwind in a new and luxurious rain shower, or soak your stresses away in a beguiling clawfoot tub.
As part of the B&B experience, breakfast is provided for guests each morning. The Belle House works with artisan bakeries in Kentucky to offer a selection of specialty pastries, croissants, muffins, and quiche.
However, we're partial to visiting the Belle Louise in the wintertime. During the holidays, the halls of this historic house are decked to the nines, and it's absolutely magical!
At 304 N. 6th Street in Paducah, Kentucky, a beautiful piece of history awaits, ready to be experienced and enjoyed by all. Come and spend a night at the Belle Louise, the most magnificent B&B in Kentucky!
