The Dim Light: Downtown Paducah

Built in 1865, The Dim Light is located in Downtown Paducah’s Historic District. Located within walking distance to Paducah’s best restaurants, bars, shops and convention center. The Dim Light offers the most luxurious accommodations in Paducah. Featuring one of Paducah’s only roof-top decks, it’s the perfect place to kick back and enjoy playing games with the family or watching movies on the outdoor rooftop theatre. Convenient to Garden of the God’s Recreation area, which is great for hiking!

The entertainers dream home. You and your guests will have access to the entire second floor of our private building. Kick back and enjoy watching your favorite movies and television shows on our back deck, where you’ll find our 16’ wide movie screen and projector. We also offer our guests use of the “in-house iPad” which allows you to control the music, lights and thermostat. The home is equipped with a Sonos sound system, so you can enjoy your favorite music throughout the space. We also feature a Philips Hue lighting system, which allows you to change the color of the lighting throughout the home to match your mood. Everything is at your fingertips with our central location. No other property in the Paducah area is able to come close to what we offer our guests.

Historic Downtown Paducah has tons to offer within walking distance from our beautiful newly renovated condo. The best restaurants, shops and bars are all within walking distance. Catch a show at The Carson Center (Four Rivers Center) or at Market House Theatre, both just one block away. Paducah Convention Center is a 10 minute walk along the river. Have a picnic and watch the boats pass by at Riverfront Park, which is just a few minutes walk from your door. Other close by attractions include The National Quilt Museum, The Paducah Walls, The Railroad Museum, The Farmers Market and The River Discovery Center.

Dozens and shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Within an easy five minute walk you’ll find “Freight House”, led by chef/proprietor Sara Bradley, runner-up on season 16 of Bravo’s competitive cooking show Top Chef. She opened the doors to Freight House in 2015 under the ethos food is more than just eating. Your food has a story. Many stories. You’ll also find Doe’s Eat Place, Shandies, Craving the Curls Rolled Ice Cream (my favorite!), Kirchoffs Deli & Bakery, Cynthia’s, Grill 211, The Foxbriar Bar, Barrel & Bond and many more great spots to stumble upon.

Also located close to Paducah is Garden of the Gods Recreation Area along with lots of other outdoor hiking options. In addition, Kentucky Lake is will also within an easy drive for a day of fishing or swimming.

Downtown Paducah is great for many reasons, but one of its best features is it’s walkability. Everything is within an easy walk no matter your age! Street parking is very easy to come by as well as free public parking. Lyft Ride Share is also available!

The condo is located on the second floor, so you’ll have to climb one flight of stairs to access the space.

The place is awesome. I'm a novice on VRBA so I'll take some of the blame, but the communication after booking about check-in was limited. The app didn't even show I had an upcoming stay. Anyway, this place is awesome!

Beautiful restored condo
Our condo was lovely, but could have used a little more comfortable living room furniture. Air conditioning struggled to keep condo cool, but it was extremely hot during our stay. I would like to stress for someone who might be older, there are twenty-seven steps counting the ones outside. Carrying luggage and extras up thoses steps were difficult. Especially when making several trips. Also, even though there was street side parking, we very seldom were able to park there. You could be walking a ways. Most important!! We can not complain about the bar noise next door. It really was not loud. But, the traffic noise was horrible!! Impossible to sleep in front bedroom even with fans running to help drown out noise. Desperately need drapes that are insulated to block the street noise. 😫 But, it is beautiful in the downtown arts district and we still loved our trip.

High tech. Only drawback was the 23 steps up to the second floor. Security was great. Very clean, great beds, wonderful showers. Most of the lights could be controlled from an ipad, change colors, etc. It was fun! Thank you.

Stay at the Dim Light
Everything was great! We had a fantastic time. There were a few things that need to be fixed: main bedroom closet door knob kept falling off, and the back door lock was broken. This was not a problem at all. Just needs attention. Thank you!

Since it is all new, it’s clean, comfortable and decorated in an edgy way. We were disappointed that we couldn’t use the outdoor “drive-in” due to the weather, but it was a delightful setting. Loved the location, could walk to most of our planned activities.

Lovely gem in Paducah
We loved this property! Really a hidden gem in Paducah. We’ll appointed, adorably decorated and incredibly comfortable. As the other reviews mention, it can be loud from the road noise but this didn’t bother us since we are used to city sounds and they do have sound machines and a fan to help mitigate if needed. Great communication too. The city had shut off the gas to the whole block just before we arrived and they were quick to communicate this with us and get someone over to relight the pilot light and check in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying again!
