About this cabin rental
Enjoy your own log cabin on a wooded hillside overlooking a lake as you start on the bourbon trail, head to the races or visit great museums. It's been the location for four movies, including Lifetime, as well as several commercials! Period furnishings and modern conveniences make this an unforgettable retreat. A massive stone fireplace creates a quiet ambiance. Tasteful antiques appoint the cabin for a step back in time.
Captain's Cabin offers a special one-of-a-kind experience surrounded by history and luxury simultaneously. You will enjoy your own full kitchen, fully equipped and stocked with spices and supplies. The bath has been lovingly renovated while retaining the clawfoot tub. Enjoy a long soak with hand-crafted scrubs and soaps. There is no shower! You are surrounded in comfort from the ultra soft sheets, luxurious robes, and Sleep Number bed to the gourmet hot breakfast delivered to your door every weekend morning. Continental breakfast is provided on weekdays. (We promise you won't go hungry!) Join us for a Cooking With Bourbon Dinner Experience on weekends. Sip wine by the fireplace, read on the back porch swings or enjoy the wildlife visiting the lake from the front porch. Only 17 minutes from downtown Louisville, you are surrounded by 8 acres of woods and wildlife. Take a walk along the lake, hike through the woods and discover the waterfall. Take a canoe ride or go wading in the smooth limestone creek. Warm up by the firepit and roast marshmallows or use the grill to make your favorite dinner. Play golf or disc golf on the adjacent public courses.
Captain's Cabin is a great place to start your Bourbon Trail adventure, attend concerts, experience one of the Top Foodie Cities, visit the Ark and Creation Museum, bet on the ponies at Churchill Downs or visit Louisville's notable museums, including Slugger Baseball Museum, Ali Center and Frasier History Museum. But many people come here to relax and get away from it all!

Captain's Cabin was the perfect place to stay for our three day Burbon Trail experience. The location is central and the cabin is very well equipped. It is also decorated with historical period pieces that take you back in time. The back porch is nice for an evening of playing cards and enjoying a bottle of wine. Tammy and Jan were most wonderful hosts. Tammy makes a delicious breakfast to begin your day too! I have already shared this spot with my family and friends for their future rentals.

We had a wonderful time. Tammy is an excellent host and we were grateful to stay here.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2024
Property owner responsive and polite. The cabin itself is accurately represented in pictures. Loved the wood burning fireplace. Wifi perfect. Based off the property listing, it was not as private as I had hoped. When we arrived, 9 crackers, 2 small cheese cubes and wine were on the table. Don’t drink, so wine was left. Several kitchen food items were expired (coffee, microwave popcorn and hot chocolate add-ins). The breakfast was the biggest disappointment… one small dry biscuit, 3 (half pieces) candied bacon and cheesy eggs. When it states “you won’t go hungry” - we left to go get food. It is sweet place but not worth the price I paid at all. What we experienced, it feels like a $175 per night (all in). We overpaid by a lot!
