Barbwire and Roses Bed and Breakfast

Barbwire and Roses is a unique Bed and Breakfast located only one mile from Kentucky Lake. When you arrive, I meet, greet, and get you settled in ... then it's all about 'You'.

Enjoying living here all my life, I am proud to share my ranch with families and singles which are treated more like "family" than "guests" for when you stay here ... you become Family. If you like to stay at fancy places with granite, fine china and white carpet, you're not going to find it here. We put our efforts into cozy and clean. This keeps our rates affordable.

Our location is the "Cats Meow" if you are visiting Paducah, Kentucky (home of the Quilters Association), or Grand Rivers, Kentucky, which is the home of the famous Patti's 1880's (we are on their favorites list). It is 5 miles from Barbwire and Roses Bed and Breakfast.

Kentucky Lake is only 1 mile away and we are surrounded by many Golf Courses. Hunters from "Land Between The Lakes" also find comfort here during the hunting seasons. We are open year round, but do suggest you book your accommodations early, to guarantee the accommodation that you prefer.

We are pet friendly
If you are traveling with your dog, just let us know. Feel free to bring its favorite toy and leash and dish.

We are also horse equipped - if traveling with horses, please don't forget those Coggins papers and their feed and hay preference. "Wranglers", located in the well-known "Land Between The Lakes", has the nicest of horseback riding trails. Many people bed here with their horses and go ride their horses there, instead of the enduring the inconvenience of camping with dirty bath houses, rude Forest Rangers and the unnecessary rules they have. There are NO rules here!

Big Bon Fires ... Small Bon Fires ... we can provide. Want to roast some hotdogs? I can provide some of the finest live country music at your request with a small extra charge, since many well-known country artists have frequented here. If you are a boater, no worries ... I have plenty of room for your boat, and power for you to plug into. Just let me know your needs before arrival.

Best of the Best is the Hot Southern Breakfast served each morning at the time of your request. "It's Good".

Barbwire and Roses is located at the intersection of #Hwy 62 and Purchase Parkway in Calvert City, Kentucky, which also intersects with Interstate 24.

"EVERYONE and ANYONE" is Welcome!

Be safe, Gawd Bless and Happy Trails!
