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.

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!!

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!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Kentucky home! It was the perfect setup for our group of two families with five kids—plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together without ever feeling crowded.The property itself is beautiful—peaceful, well-maintained, and the kind of place where you instantly feel like you’re on vacation. The outdoor deck spaces were especially great for the kids to play, while the adults could unwind and take in the scenery.The amenities truly made the stay exceptional. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided, and then some. From the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable living spaces and thoughtful extras throughout the home, it was clear the hosts put a lot of care into creating a welcoming and convenient experience.Speaking of the hosts—they were incredible. So thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality, and it really made a difference.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other families or groups looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

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.
