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 was featured in the April 2015 issue of Country's Best Cabins magazine, 2015 September issue of Style Blueprint magazine and April 2016 Home of the Week in Courier Journal.

Captain's Cabin is a great place to start your Bourbon Trail adventure, 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 just to relax and get away from it all!

    We stayed at Captain’s Cabin Bed & Breakfast: Bourbon Trail, History & Romance in Louisville, KY during a family reunion, and it was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was beautifully appointed, featuring a full kitchen, a cozy upstairs bedroom with a comfortable queen-size bed, and a charming fireplace downstairs.Tammy was an exceptional host—she stocked the refrigerator with plenty of breakfast goodies and snacks, and even delivered a hot breakfast to us on a chilly morning! The location was perfect, and we truly loved every moment of our stay. We’ll definitely be back!

    Very nice. Loved staying in the old fashioned cabin. Always wanted to do this at Christmas time and wake up to a fire. Maybe another time. We would notice something new in the cabin every time we looked around. Host was great. Worked with us to switch days of cooked breakfast which was great. Variety of breakfast food during the week. Tammy makes a great derby pie. Nice quiet area. Close to restaurants and parks.

    Very charming cabin and decorated authentically. We were very comfortable and also treated to an afternoon snack upon arrival as well as tasty breakfast items for each day. We enjoyed a walk down the road by the stream, but unable to canoe in the lake. Our host and hostess were very nice and friendly and very accommodating. Delightful experience. We enjoyed a visit to Bernheim Forest and rode the Bluegrass rail bike in Versailles.

The owners are incredible and to top it all off it’s a bed and breakfast! If there was a way to give more than 5 stars we would. We will be coming back
