Beautiful house, needs some TLC
The house was beautiful, booking and check in was smooth, and the location was great for our visits to Mammoth Cave. We specifically booked a place with a hot tub but upon arrival quickly realized that the hot tub wasn't working properly (jets had no pressure and it could not maintain temperature). I messaged the owner who was aware of the issues but failed to let me know prior to our stay. It was definitely disappointing for the whole group. My husband and his friend were also looking forward to playing darts but the board (and surrounding wall) was completely wrecked and pretty much unusable. A few other things: all of the beds were rock hard, laundry and dishwasher loads (clean at least) were left from the previous visitors, there were quite a few dirty dishes and utensils in the cabinets and drawers (we always wash things before use when we stay anyways but these were obviously not checked between visits), the coffee maker kept flashing a message that it needed to be cleaned, there was a broken bathroom doorknob that kept falling off, and we used the lilypad mat out in the water but had to clear out a huge group of wasps nesting in it first and the bungee cord holding it to the dock was on its last strands. Overall, it was a beautiful house but it definitely needs a little TLC and maybe a more thorough cleaning service.

Wonderful and Spacious Cabin
Was here with a group of friends, seven of us. The cabin was very spacious and accommodating. We appreciated all the extra provisions, and we even had a lot of fun playing foosball and shuffleboard in the game room downstairs! Wax Marina was not too far - where we rented a pontoon and then ate at Buoy’s, which was very good. I would highly recommend Captain’s Cove as a very comfortable place to stay in the Lake Nolin area. The owners have put together a very special place and thought of just about everything. We will have great memories of our time together there!

Wish I could give this property 10 stars!
This property was beautiful, and had plenty of space for our friends weekend. The host was quick to respond to questions and really seemed to care that we had the best time ever. The TVs, the deck(s), the fire pit, the game room, everything was top notch! We just had a short walk to the water and wax marina was not far away at all! We will definitely return!!!

Delightful
We found this place for a last minute getaway and it was delightful. My grands were entertained constantly with the game room and enjoyed hot tub and lake time. We feel this was a great find -everyone wanted to stay longer. Hosts were super responsive when we ran into a small glitch and provided extensive information to help us get around. The place is very nicely equipped--everything you might need for a stay.

Perfect Lake House Getaway
The Captains Cove was a perfect place to stay for me and my friends! We would golf in the mornings and then come home to take advantage of the perfect location on the lake and the amenities of the home. Can’t recommend this VRBO enough for large groups!

Family Getaway
Captain’s Cove was a great place to stay with family or friends. We had three generations staying there and everyone enjoyed themselves and plenty of room for everyone to gather and spend time together. It is set up with lots of games and things to do with the kids and grandkids. It is just a short walk to the lake. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, utensils and pots and pans. The hosts are very responsive and quick to answer any questions you may have.

Well stocked home
We enjoyed a very relaxing vacation with our four adult children and two dogs. Everyone had their own room and space. Home was well stocked with everything we needed. We cooked all of our meals at the home for the entire week and there was nothing we lacked! The only pizza was at a gas station about 20 minutes away. There are no restaurants close by so plan accordingly. We spent a day at Mammoth Cave (an hour’s drive one way) and another half day zip lining (again, hour’s drive). We enjoyed all the games provided- shuffleboard, cornhole, darts. The fire pit was stocked with firewood. The hot tub was fabulous! We walked daily to the lake- but be aware, the slope is very steep! What a leg workout! There was nobody at any of the closest neighbors which was so peaceful for us. During busy season where the other homes are booked, you need to be aware that Captain’s Cove fir pit and the neighbor’s fire pit are very near to one another as are the other homes. The upper deck and lower patio were used by everyone. Lee was wonderful to work with. He had noticed that a shuffleboard piece was missing so he told me that the Amazon delivery would be at the door when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed such a wonderful and peaceful vacation. Thank you to Lee and Blake for allowing us to use their beautiful home!

We rented this amazing property for a reunion of college friends and a trip to Mammoth Cave. From the very beginning, Lee communicated well with lots of details and suggestions. Everything was so great for large group gatherings! Lots of seating and eating areas for everyone to be included with so much space inside and out! Everything was super clean, and there were lots of extras included. The views were great, and the kitchen well stocked with everything for cooking for the eight of us. Couldn’t ask for a better property for our weekend, and Lee was such a great host! Highly recommend renting this place!

First time in a long time, the family was able to get together from different parts of the country. This was a great find. The game room was allot of fun for the kids and the dogs loved the outdoors. I would imagine the summertime would be awesome for fishing and boating fun.

Amazing Getaway!
I want to live here! This property is amazing! I was in awe when I walked in. The property is beautifully decorated. I had actually forgot about downstairs. When I walked downstairs I remembered why I chose to rent this property. The pictures on the website are exactly as shown. Most of our time was spent downstairs playing video games, shuffleboard or on the walk out patio area. The patio area was awesome, plenty of seating with an outside tv that was great for watching college football. I could go on and on about how great this place is! The homeowners were very responsive to all of my questions. I travel a lot and Lee and Blake have been the nicest hosts by far. This home has everything you will need. The only thing missing are you and your friends and family, you won’t be disappointed!

The Kendall Group (ages 8 - 52) 😊
My husband and I planned a trip with our 6 adult kids, their significant others & 1 granddaughter for a 4 night stay. The house was more than accommodating and comfortable for everyone. Unfortunately, some had to leave early along with our 2 dogs. But from the first day our host, Lee checked in with us to see if everything was okay. And was subsequently available for any questions during our stay. The home is very beautiful, clean and open. I personally loved that things were cutely labeled throughout.. made it very helpful. (remotes, light switches, caution water gets hot, etc.) My husband said it was great having the gate on the upper deck so our dogs were able to freely roam about and enjoy being outside with us unleashed. As a large group we did spend the majority of our day away from the house enjoying so many different attractions. Some were suggestions from our host before we booked, a few were decided after looking at the many brochures within the cabin, and others we stumbled upon while out and about. We enjoyed horseback riding, kayaking, lots of hiking, fishing, an animal safari and of course several cave tours. However, nothing was better than the end of our days coming together in the house, cooking a huge meal to be thankful for and spending time with one another. Whether we were playing games, figuring out the telescope to star gaze, or relaxing together. We had a lot of laughs, treasured moments & appreciate all the accommodations 🌿

Hosts that think of everything!
Lee and Blake are great communicators, very knowledgeable about the area, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Property is in the perfect location, beautifully appointed and well stocked with basics. We enjoyed time on the lake, explored some caves, and had some terrific family time at the house with the fire pit, darts, foosball table, and shuffleboard. I even learned a new card game - Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza! We laughed until we cried with that one. Lots to do both at the property and exploring the surrounding area, so we would love to visit again.
