    Wonderful Restful Night

    August 29, 2011

    We booked the room to celebrate early our 50th anniversary. We had to be in the area for Sunday. The owners, David and LaVonna make you feel right to home! They were very eager to help in any way. Needed to use the WiFI and it worked great. We had a most wonderful breakfast and I had to have the recipes for the dishes she served. We enjoyed our stay!

    Our First B&B Experience!

    July 22, 2011

    We were so very pleased with our first stay at this B&B. I found this location on line, and from the very beginning, it was a very pleasant experience. Dave and Lavonna were so very nice and took care of our every need. We were very comfortable there, slept well and the breakfasts were terrific! Our stay in Paris, Kentucky was just great, and they made my 60th birthday very special indeed. We will return to Kentucky for another vacation, and we will not hesitate to book with Dave and Lavonna again. They were wonderful to us. I have photos of this B&B and have shared them with my family and friends here in Pittsburgh. We felt right at home there and their warmth and friendliness was welcoming. We have recommended this B&B to everyone. Thank you again Dave and Lavonna for a wonderful stay. The Mangs.

    Tranquil Retreat

    June 28, 2011

    My husband and I enjoyed a tranquil retreat near Lexington, KY, at the Country Charm B & B. Our hosts were very gracious and helpful but not intrusive. The house and property were beautiful and interesting in a country farm setting. The breakfasts were great and the room was spotless and comfortable. Highly recommended.

    Charming and away from the city!

    June 05, 2011

    I arrived in early June right after Memorial Day. Everything was green as England. The 1.6 miles from the main road is slightly winding road reminiscent of my days in England. I stayed out a little past 10 and my host, David, graciously waited up to ask me how my my evening was. The night was completely quiet. Before I knew it I awoke to birds chirping. A good deep sleep! David and LaVonna very kindly got up early to prepare several of my favorite breakfast foods. They sat with me and chatted about travel and life. Nice people. I plan to stay at Country Charm again as soon as I can. Thank you David and LaVonna!
