Family Spring Break

We stayed here with three families of four and it was a great fit! Six couples with six kids ages 3-13. They all had fun and even the adults enjoyed the old school arcade games. We made use of the pizza oven as well which was a real treat! Took the owners advice and used the ferry to get to Mammoth Cave, saved time and was a fun experience!

3 kids 4 adults December 3 day stay

House was great, arcade room for kids and kid amenities fantastic, kitchen utensils available the best I have had in staying at a VBRO property. Hot tub water smelled bad and looked dirty, heater quit working during stay, pilot for fireplace was out, and grill starter also didn’t work. Was able to get pilot lit and fireplace going as needed.

Great place to stay.

My family came down with two other families and had a great time. The house was really nice and well-kept. The access to the lake was great and the kids loved playing on the floating raft. We would definitely stay there again.

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!

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!!!

Family get-together with caving

Our group consisted of grandparents, kids and grandkids. The cabin was very nice with plenty of sleeping options for our motley group of 14. Everything was labelled which was very helpful. Lee resolved any concerns we had quickly. Since we were there in December and it rained a LOT, we spent most of the time checking out the caves in the area and bourbon tours so I cannot comment on the lake amenities. The teens and twenty somethings spent most of their time in the game area. WiFi and streaming options were great. Some in the group enjoyed the hot tub. Kitchen and laundry were well equipped. Great views. One caution the driveway was large enough for our five cars, but rather steep in places.

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.

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lee and Blake

Host profile image
We grew up in Kentucky and have lived in several states and are now Very happy to call Kentucky home again, especially after being stationed overseas in the military and moving for work multiple times. We have experienced living in other places across the country but truly love everything that Kentucky has to offer and hope to share our getaway with you.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property based on the ability to accommodate a large group of friends and family and the proximity to both Nolin Lake and Kentucky's only National Park .

What makes this property unique

This property has WONDERFUL entertaining spaces! From the open main floor living area that extends to the large deck or the large basement that includes multiple televisions and games for both children and adults that also extends to a large covered porch. The basement bar was hand built using bourbon staves (3 full barrels) and pays homage to the uniqueness of the history of Kentucky Bourbon.
