Once upon a time was like a fairytale!
The house is beautifully decorated and has so much room! We had a couple of issues that David and sandy took care of as quickly as possible. We already have plans to visit again at Thanksgiving! The neighborhood is an older neighborhood and is pretty quiet.

Wonderful home!
We so enjoyed our stay at this sweet house in a charming town. The home is just lovely -- clean and beautifully appointed, and far more spacious than it looks in photos or even from the street. It's filled with all the right kind of character and sits in a charming neighborhood. Proximity to town is great. Sandy was the consummate host -- kind, prompt, communicative. She was very generous with coffees, teas, hot chocolate, spices -- even dog treats. We didn't bring our dogs on this trip, but I wish we had. It's a perfect place for them with a nice, secure yard and all the human and doggie comforts one could ask for. Five stars! (out of five!)

Weekend stay
Overall we had a positive experience staying in the Once Upon a Time Cottage. The house is much nicer inside the you would expect from the neighborhood. It is very cozy and comfortable. The yard is fenced in and well kept. The only issue we had was with the codes for unlocking the doors. The back door would not open with any of the door codes sent, and the front door opened with a code that had the wrong checkout time. We would definitely rent again.

Lovely 2-Night Stay
Beds were very plush and comfortable. Shower pressure was great. Close proximity to downtown Paducah. Sandy answered when I called and was very sweet on the phone. If we ever come back to Paducah, we would stay here again.

Adorable and just the right size cottage
I have stayed here twice and can’t wait to stay many more times when I visit my daughter in Paduca. Easy access location and the cottage has all the amenities I need, including for my pups. Thank you :)

Very Nice and Comfortable Stay
We speant two weeks at Once Upon a Time. The property is located close to everything in downtown Paducah. Also, it's not far from the malls, dining, and shopping at I-24 and Highway 60. The interior is very comfortable and cozy and the owners made sure we had absolutely everything we needed for a pleasant two weeks stay. I highly recommend this property when you're considering a stay in Paducah Kentucky.
