The owner has worked to upgrade the property over the years we've been coming, and is always pleasant to talk to! We've experienced a few different staff members over the years, and have always had pleasant interactions with them. It may not be a 5-star resort, but the location is wonderful to go to the Ark Encounter, and the price is right. We've already booked the cabin for a conference next year.

An Exceptional Stay at The Thoroughbred Hotel in Paris, Kentucky…read more Where do I begin? Our stay at The Thoroughbred Hotel was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by some of the warmest, most genuine people you could ever hope to meet. The hotel is locally owned, and that personal touch shines through in every aspect of the experience. Not only was the hotel incredible, but everyone we met throughout Paris, Kentucky, was exceptionally kind and welcoming. It felt like we were surrounded by friends everywhere we went. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The rooms were top-notch--beautifully appointed, spotless, and full of character. The horse and horse-racing theme throughout the hotel perfectly captures the spirit of Kentucky and adds a unique charm that makes this boutique hotel truly special. We originally came to Paris to visit a friend in rehab and chose to stay here during our trip. What we didn't expect was to leave with so many new friendships and wonderful memories. The hospitality we experienced was second to none. My wife and I will absolutely be returning, and if we can reserve a room at The Thoroughbred Hotel again, we won't hesitate. Next time, we're bringing our travel companions along because we're certain they'll love it every bit as much as we did. If their experience is anything like ours, they'll probably leave with a few new friends as well. If you're looking for a beautiful boutique hotel, exceptional hospitality, and a true taste of small-town Kentucky charm, The Thoroughbred Hotel is a destination in itself. Highly recommended!

One of the best hotel stays we've had in a long time. Everything from the staff to the room to the…read moreoverall hotel was fantastic. The room was beautiful and spotless, the bed super comfortable, and the waterfall shower rejuvenating. The horse racing theme and styling was so artfully done and charming. Our stay was so wonderful that we added another night to our trip. Chris, the owner, was super helpful in accommodating an early check-in and adding another night to our stay. Other staff was extremely helpful in answering questions and helping us with luggage. Parking was a breeze with streetside unloading spots and then a shared adjacent lot for our stay. Easy drive into Lexington. We will definitely stay here again.

First off, we picked this campground because the price was extremely reasonable. I was traveling…read moreacross country with a friend and her kids and my kids in my C class rv, towing a jeep and had no issues navigating through the park. This was a clean campground with plenty for kids to do. The pool was very clean and I saw the lifeguard check the chemicals multiple times. For adults, theres a nice little bar. Definitely no complaints there! But, what stood out for my friend and I, was the exceptional customer service. And while I won't go into details, we found ourselves in a situation and the owners went way above and beyond to help us out! We couldn't be any more grateful for their kindness to us strangers! I told my husband I would definitely like to return for a longer stay, for that alone! If the owners see this, again, thank you so much for your help, we truly appreciate it! Can't wait to return!

I enjoyed the Whispering Hills RV Park and its location. There are full hook-up sites, a swimming…read morepool, a lake, basketball, bark park, bar, picnic tables, and a playground with giant blow ups for the kids to enjoy. There are plenty of places around the park to just sit and enjoy a book. Some sites offer fires, but ours didn't. There are two laundry locations, but they only have a few washers and dryers. That's not enough when the park has 230 sites. Expect to wait for one to open. You do have a picnic table, but it's time to repair them. They did add in their flyer to call if you have an issue with your picnic table. You mow and clean up your site after someone stays, so you should already see any table issues. When I get to a site I've already spent many hours driving and don't want to call with any issues. I want to set up, relax, and enjoy the amenities. The property is very clean and well managed. They have an employee take you to your site and assist you in pulling in. We would definitely stay here again!!

Our bedroom with its own large bathroom was beautifully decorated and so very plush-even had plush robes hanging in the closet for our use! Mini refrigerator was stocked with sodas that we mentioned we liked. We arrived around 3 and went to our room. About an hour later our picnic basket was ready. The sandwiches and cupcakes were DELICIOUS! The next morning our breakfast included a croissant with some kind of blueberry compote and cheese filling with crisp bacon. OMG! The homemade food at Charred Oakes is worth the stay. What a lovely time in a beautiful BnB with very gracious hosts.

From the moment they opened the front door to the morning of our departure, they were very welcoming. Their knowledge of the history of the area, recommendations for restaurants and local businesses, and afternoon picnic baskets were incredible. The room was very cozy and warm.

We were staying in Paris to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. We are early risers so our "dinner" time is quite a bit earlier than usual. We decided to try the Paradise Cafe as we both enjoy Asian cuisine. We got there around 4:00 PM and were the only people in the restaurant. We were both impressed with both the decor and the cleanliness of the dining area. We shared a couple of spring rolls that were delicious. My wife opted for sweet and sour chicken and I had the beef and broccoli. We sampled each others fare and found both to be of outstanding flavor and quality. This place is an absolute gem.

Visited Paradise Cafe recently and had a mixed experience. The space itself feels a bit dated and…read morequite heavy... the lighting is very dark, and even moving the dining chairs felt a bit difficult. A lighter, refreshed atmosphere would go a long way. I ended up ordering a few appetizers. The Hot & Sour Soup was the standout... flavorful, comforting, and easily a 5/5 on a cold n wet day. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. The shrimp rolls were below average... mostly lettuce, the shrimps were dried out, and they took about 10 extra minutes to come out. The crab rangoon was the biggest disappointment; the filling had an unpleasant smell and tasted like heavy, clotted cream cheese and there wasn't even an iota of imitation crab meat to justify that name. My friends ordered egg rolls, which actually looked pretty good (I'd say a solid 4/5), and Singapore noodles, which unfortunately looked underwhelming. Overall, there are a few bright spots, especially the soup, but the food quality and atmosphere were inconsistent. With some updates and more attention to freshness and flavor, this place could really improve.

So spacious yet so warm. Great for a event or like us a vacation that is so relaxing. Pool is a huge reason we booked this for our vacation but hoping the home would be historic and charming and it exceeded our expectations. 4 1/2 baths and 3 bedrooms but so many more rooms. If you need TV's in rooms not the right pick but if you are like us if you want history and relaxing in a beautiful home than this is it. It really is such a gem and you can see it in every room. Thank you to the Barr family who welcomed us in to their home. ( and how sweet they shopped some basics for us before we got here). Eggs, bread, milk etc.
