    Signature Dish

    Goetta
    The Germans that settled in Cincinnati came up with this dish. It has lots of grains, spices, and pork and it is packaged like a roll of sausage. We slice it, fry it and serve it with eggs. A real favorite!

    Each morning, I enjoyed a cup of coffee and reading quietly in the beautifully decorated parlor of this outstanding 1878 home. The hosts were accommodating to my every need, too. Absolutely A+ in quaint Newport, KY.

    We stayed at the Gateway in Newport just to get away for an anniversary weekend. We needed to stay close to home (Dayton, OH) for the kids and Gateway gave us the perfect opportunity for that. It was very quiet and relaxing to be in the house and the innkeepers were very welcoming. The Gateway is definitely a better, and cleaner, alternative to one of the large pricey hotels in Newport. Breakfast was good and the bathroom was clean and modern. There is a bar across the street and it is just two blocks from two famous Newport Restaurants. We spent our evening at the Levee, which is very close also. There was no TV in the room we stayed in.

    Great B&B
