Two families with 6 teens for our fall break enjoyed three days and 2 nights at the house. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. A family dream house with endless activities for kids and adults. We loved how much there is to do in the area and we saw so much wildlife. It was quiet and beautiful. We didn’t want to leave! The house was over the top equipped for us. Wonderful, wonderful stay!!

We had a wonderful time at Captain’s Cove. The house was well suited to our family, with toys and books and entertainment for every age. It even had a pack n play and booster for the littles, even though we had brought our own. We used the hot tub and grill, visited Mammoth Cave (twice!) and Lost River Cave and Balance Distillery in Bowling Green. We put our kayaks in at the Dog Creek Recreational area, even though the State Park was closed, since we were there when the water was still high after the spring flooding. Plenty of space to spread out, but still gather together for family fun. Thanks Lee and Blake

Great Golf Getaway

Group of 12 guys in the area to play some area golf courses. The property was great and suited our needs well. Plenty of room for all 12 of us to spread out, sleep and relax. Lee was great to work with, very responsive and quick to answer all questions about the area, local places to eat and general property inquiries. Would definitely look to stay there again if in the area.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
