Unique property
This location was exactly as described. It was one of most interesting and quite different from the average property. If you like the feel of a rustic cabin in the woods with amazing scenery, then this is a great spot. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and kind. The house has all of the basic needs and more. I appreciate being able to experience this one.

Amazing Cabin Experience
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was one of the most unique places we've stayed. The cabin and surrounding property gave a very secluded and outdoor feeling while providing easy access to the amenities of the city. The hosts were very nice and accommodating the entire time.

Romantic Getaway!
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!

Cabin Stay
Such a neat old cabin! It was beautifully decorated with all of the amenities you’d need today. There is a microwave in the pantry closet which I didn’t find until day 2 so that made things much easier. Breakfast was wonderful and all of the local recommendations were greatly appreciated!

We were in Louisville for an early Christmas celebration with family. We spent the mornings and evenings at the house and loved every minute. Such a sweet place and terrific hosts. We will be back, if they’ll have us. 5 star stay, thank you.

Unique and Lovely property
We were visiting family in the area, so we did not spend as much time at the cabin as most guests would. The breakfasts were very nice and delicious. The bedding and the bed are very comfortable. We slept very well. It was so quiet. It’s hard to believe that you are in the middle of Suburban Louisville when you have such a beautiful wooded area with a nice pond with a blue heron and mallards to greet you every morning.

A relaxing step back in time....
The accommodations were amazing - so many little Revolutionary War details - and everything in the cabin was squeaky clean!! We enjoyed meeting both hosts and really loved the cooking class. A couple of constructive criticisms though: since they are focused on "relaxing" and not worrying about anything, it would really be nice to have curtains in the bedroom!! But instead --- We were both woken up super early by the sunlight streaming into the bedroom. We really wanted to sleep in but was unable to sleep beyond 6:30 am - the sun was strong!! Two, it was clear in the property notes that there was only a tub and no shower but.....it would be nice to have a shower "hose" available to attach to the faucet for the tub. They are not super expensive and it would be a nice option. The available "pitcher" was not really a viable option for washing my hair nor did my husband think it was easy to use to rinse himself off after his bath. He said It was super awkward.... All in all a relaxing weekend in general but the above items, especially the sunlight streaming in at 6 AM, detracted from it a lot.

The cabin is everything the pictures show, rustic and awesome! The moment we pulled in and seen that the owners, who are very nice, live right next door to the cabin! My husband and I wanted a cabin in a secluded place, to be alone for 3 nights. We chose to stay one night and move on the next day to our relatives In Tennessee. Sorry but this did not meet what our expectations were.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with the cleanliness of this property, the whole cabin really exceeded our expectations. Beautifully decorated. Breakfast was amazing. We spent a lot of time relaxing together on the front porch and just taking in all the nature around us. My favorite part about our stay was watching the thunderstorms from the porch.

Cozy Retreat back in Time
Stay at this property if you love original cozy log cabins and historical artifacts. This is a perfect couples retreat tucked at the end of a lane in the woods. Your host is not far away and brings home cooked breakfast to your table in the morning. She also offers cooking classes at her home where she teaches even a seasoned cook such as myself a thing or two in the kitchen then welcomes you to sit and leisurely enjoy the meal along with her and her husband Jan. They even brought us homemade ice cream on our second night. I’m sure if we lived closer I’d invite them to a dinner at my house as well. They felt like old friends. While this was a relaxing spot, it was close to JeffersonTown where we very much enjoyed the farmers market. There are plenty of eateries and shops and it’s a quick drive to distilleries and wineries. Honestly, we loved sitting on the porch, sipping wine and watching the lighting bugs.

Charming Cabin, Great Hosts, Perfect Location
My wife and I chose Captain's Cabin for our anniversary trip. We were extremely happy with our stay, with every little detail taken care of. The hosts were friendly and attentive, the cabin combined historical charm with modern convenience, and the location was convenient to downtown Louisville, nearby shopping, and for a day trip to Mammoth Cave. It had the feel of a wooded retreat, yet convenient to major highways.

Cozy little step back in time.
Let me tell you this was one of the coolest places we have ever been. Starting a fire every morning in the massive limestone fireplace with my coffee in hand and ending the day in the clawfoot tub with my wine was just the icing on the cake. Tammy and Jan were wonderful and so inviting and we were even greated by the Captain himself (their very sweet dog) upon arrival and our comings and goings. The food was great along with all the little extras. Tammy and Jan really put alot of thought love and hardwork into their cabin and it really shows. Would highly recommend such a comfortable cozy retreat.

Memorable Weekend Getaway
My partner and I are super big history buffs and wanted to get away from it all so we decided to have a weekend trip up to a cabin. This cabin had everything we were looking for - an original logframe cabin with modern amenities, a giant fireplace and clawfoot bathtub, surrounded by nature, and only 15 minutes from home! Tammy's cooking was wonderful and it was so fun to pick Jan's brain about history and his historical reenactments and both were wonderful hosts. The cabin is full of beautiful architecture and decor, and feels very rustic while still being modern and feels like you are out in the woods despite being in the middle of a large city. We already have friends who are asking about it to visit after seeing photos from our trip! :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and its hosts! The cabin is dated to the 1800’s and is full of historical mementos with modern amenities sprinkled throughout! From the cozy fireplace to the sleep number bed- we were more than comfortable! The communication with the hosts was excellent and their hospitality went above and beyond! We were left a bottle of wine, a breakfast basket with an option of a hot breakfast, and the most amazing homemade bourbon balls! Such a treasure in a beautiful setting. We will definitely return to this incredible property!

What a treasure we found! It is the perfect, cozy spot in the woods we were hoping for, surrounded by Fall colors. It feels like you are off the beaten path but it’s only 10 minutes to shopping and restaurants. Our hosts were very gracious, supplying us with a cheese tray and wine upon our arrival and a basket of breakfast goodies, juice and fruit. And Tammy’s homemade bourbon balls are scrumptious. Sitting by a huge open hearth fireplace was the icing on the cake. Definitely a trip worth repeating!

Captain's Cabin is certainly a gem to be discovered! If you are wanting a location that is quiet to either work, talk, or contemplate--Captain's Cabin should be at the top of your list.

Wonderful Getaway
My friends and I stayed a night here for some much needed quiet and relaxation. Great communication with the owner and we were so thrilled to get to meet Captain! We had a picnic by the lake, explored the acreage and used the Bluetooth speaker to listen to our favorite songs while we relaxed on the comfy leather sofa. We loved our morning coffee on the hammock chairs and we were lucky to see deer, ducks, rabbits, a crane and other critters. We loved that we had the peace of nature, but close enough to utilize Ubereats so we never had to leave!

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in this beautiful cabin. We ate our homemade delivered breakfast on the front porch every morning and enjoyed immensely, Tammy's cooking. There are so many small details from the homemade soaps to the thoughtful bottle of wine, the wonderful coffee provided, the books scattered throughout...I could go on and on. I enjoyed bathing as opposed to showering and the copper pitcher just added to the charm. The creek down the road is the most wonderful place to read a book. So relaxing! The cabin is in the perfect location- close to the city and the country. Tammy and Jan are the perfect hosts and we are better off having met them. I'm just so grateful that they share their little slice of paradise with others.
