While the state of Kentucky is known for a couple of southern concepts like horse racing, coal production, and fried chicken, the city of Paducah takes a slightly different route. Located on the western edges of the state, just on the border of Tennessee to the southeast and Missouri to the northeast, Paducah is a hip and artistic city, making a name for itself. The city takes pride in the local arts scene as it promotes its local artists, writers, and performers while inviting guests of the same passion together. One unique artistry that Paducah promotes is quilting, and they even have a museum for that. They even earned the well-deserved title of “UNESCO Creative City in 2013.” If you’d like to explore this colorful city further, here is our list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Paducah, Kentucky.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on January 21, 2025.
