Other things to note
Location, Convenience & Privacy
Some of the most compelling reasons to choose Southern Leisure at the Historic Wallace House are its exceptional location, convenience, and private residential setting.
The property is located just two blocks from the I-24 Business Loop, providing convenient access to Paducah and surrounding areas. Guests are also only minutes from the vibrant riverfront, Downtown Broadway, historic sites, the Carson Center, National Quilt Museum, art galleries, restaurants, shopping, and the creative energy of Paducah’s Lower Town Arts District.
For additional shopping and dining options, Kentucky Oaks Mall is approximately a 10-minute drive away, with numerous restaurants, retailers, and services nearby.
Beyond its convenient location, Southern Leisure offers the added benefits of a private, gated residential property. The Historic Wallace House is reserved for registered guests and tenants only, providing a more private and peaceful environment than a typical lodging property.
Guests are asked to observe quiet hours, use their designated reserved parking space, and respect the privacy and residential character of the property.
Southern Leisure offers the best of both worlds: convenient access to everything Paducah has to offer, combined with the privacy, comfort, and distinctive character of a historic private residence.
