Historic Elegance Reimagined: Staying in the 1888 Cox Row Houses
Few places in Kentucky blend history and hospitality quite like Moon River Bed & Breakfast. Nestled in the heart of Maysville, this inviting inn occupies the beautifully preserved 1888 Cox Row Houses, a collection of brick townhomes that have witnessed more than a century of life along the Ohio River Valley.
Each room at Moon River tells its own story. Original woodwork, tall windows, and antique furnishings evoke the charm of the late 19th century, while soft lighting, modern bedding, and private bathrooms ensure every guest enjoys the comfort of a contemporary stay. It’s this balance between heritage and convenience that makes Moon River one of the most beloved historic bed and breakfasts in Maysville KY.
Walking through the hallway feels like stepping back in time. The building’s Victorian craftsmanship — decorative mantels, patterned brick, and fine carpentry — reflects the era when Maysville thrived as a river port. Today, that same spirit of elegance has been lovingly restored, offering guests a tranquil retreat with timeless character.
Outside, the rhythm of small-town Kentucky unfolds: tree-lined streets, nearby antique shops, and the peaceful Ohio River just a short stroll away. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or to experience Maysville’s history firsthand, the Cox Row Houses offer a setting unlike any modern hotel.
The innkeepers have taken great care to preserve the property’s story while adding thoughtful touches for today’s traveler — fast Wi-Fi, climate control, plush linens, and curated décor that blends old-world charm with subtle modern style.
When you stay at Moon River B&B, you’re not just booking a room — you’re becoming part of a living chapter in Maysville’s history. It’s a home where every detail speaks of craftsmanship, comfort, and connection to the past.

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.
