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.
