Belle Louise Historic Bed & Breakfast

"Where do I begin? It was absolutely perfect. The room was fantastic, the place is clean, historic, it tells a story, and so do the owners. They took a faded gem and have made her shine again. Took my father and sister here to get away for the night and it did not disappoint. The owners were gracious, had a coffee pot ready to enjoy, made a delightful breakfast the next day. Was considerate of my sister's celiac and need for gluten free, showed me around and answered all questions. My father got cold in the night, and there were plenty of spare blankets as well as a little heater. They literally thought of everything. I look forward to coming back again soon."

"I have stayed at the Belle a total of 5 times now…and I am never disappointed! I feel like I am coming home when I step into this beautiful historic mansion. Melinda and Cary are the perfect hosts. (The breakfasts on the weekend are something you don’t want to miss!)"

"This was a lovely place to stay, and I highly recommend it. My father and I stayed here for two nights in November. He was in the Master Suite, and I was in the Belle. The house was beautiful - historic and very well maintained. They decorate early for Christmas here, and it felt like I was in a Hallmark movie. My suite was quite large while still being cozy, and I felt lucky to sleep in such elegant surroundings. The hosts are so kind and friendly. They are proud of what they’ve done with the place, and rightfully so. The breakfasts they prepared were delicious. It’s clear that great care has been put into delivering a wonderful experience for the individuals who are fortunate enough to stay here. We will definitely go back, should we visit Paducah again."

"This home is absolutely beautiful!! Melinda and Cary are great hosts and are very welcoming. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. They are knowledgeable about the area. Melinda creates the most delicious breakfast! It’s walkable to fine dining, shops, brewery and bars. We can’t wait to come back!"

"The home is exquisite and very tastefully decorated using period pieces. Yet the amenities are all modern. What makes it extra special is the gracious extra attention provided by consummate hosts Cary, Melinda, and Colt. Absolutely delightful and welcoming!! They have perfected the art of being owners, managers, and friends simultaneously. Warning! ... staying here will spoil you and make other B&Bs pale by comparison. If you own a B&B (or plan to), you need to book a stay at the Belle Louise and pay very close attention!!! We look forward to our next visit!"
