Meet Your Host

From Global Design to Hometown Hospitality

I’m Denny Dellinger — an architect by training, a preservationist at heart, and the proud innkeeper of Moon River Bed and Breakfast Maysville KY. After years of living and working in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, I relocated to Maysville to take on what began as a real estate venture and quickly became a passion project: creating a welcoming, story-rich bed and breakfast in Maysville KY for travelers exploring one of Kentucky’s most charming river towns.

My career has taken me from hospitality design projects in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to immersive research trips across Mexico and Central America, where I studied the art of guest experience and the cultural power of place. That global perspective now informs everything I do at Moon River Bed and Breakfast Maysville KY — from thoughtful design details to the way I help guests discover the best of Maysville.

I’ve long been drawn to historic architecture, especially the adaptive reuse of buildings that honor their original character while serving new purposes. Moon River is a perfect expression of that philosophy: a lovingly preserved 1888 row house reimagined as a modern-day bed and breakfast in Maysville KY.

Today, I’m building partnerships with local businesses, artists, and fellow hosts to help grow Maysville’s tourism economy and create meaningful experiences for every guest. My hope is that visitors return again and again—not just for the comfort of Moon River, but for the warmth of the community it reflects.

And yes, I do aspire to become Maysville’s “celebrity” bed and breakfast host—one great stay at a time.
