Exploring the Ohio River Valley from Moon River Bed & Breakfast
One of the best parts about staying at Moon River Bed & Breakfast is its perfect position near the Ohio River Valley — a region known for its rolling hills, scenic byways, and historic small towns that line the water’s edge. From peaceful nature walks to winding country drives, the area around Maysville, Kentucky offers visitors a glimpse into the slower, more soulful side of the Bluegrass State.
Start your journey by stepping outside the inn and taking a short walk to the Ohio River, where the views stretch across to Ohio’s green banks. Early mornings and sunset hours are especially beautiful — the soft light reflects off the water and gives the whole valley a golden glow.
For a leisurely drive, follow U.S. Route 68 or Kentucky Highway 10, both offering sweeping views of the river and charming stops along the way. You’ll pass through small communities filled with historic homes, roadside markets, and friendly diners that seem untouched by time.
Wine lovers will enjoy exploring nearby Baker-Bird Winery, the oldest commercial winery in America still operating on its original land. Located in Augusta, just a short drive from Maysville, it offers tastings paired with panoramic vineyard views.
If you prefer outdoor adventures, the Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park and Kincaid Lake State Park are both within easy reach. Each provides hiking trails, picnic spots, and opportunities to enjoy Kentucky’s natural landscape.
After a day exploring the Ohio River Valley, return to Moon River B&B to relax in your cozy room within the 1888 Cox Row Houses. Enjoy a quiet evening near the river, a hearty homemade breakfast in the morning, and the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel more like family than visitors.
Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer journey, the Ohio River Valley reveals a side of Kentucky that’s as peaceful as it is unforgettable — and Moon River Bed & Breakfast is your perfect base to discover it all.

My sister and I stayed at Moon River while we toured the historical sites of the area which are plentiful. Anyone interested in the history of this great nation should visit Maysville and the surrounding villages. Our room was spacious, our bed very comfortable, our host, Denny, Gave us good information and was very pleasant to talk to. Moon River is just a block from everything. You could not have a better location. We hope to return someday.
