The house was beautiful, well stocked with everything you could think of. Very clean and our host went out of his way to make sure our stay was excellent! Would highly recommend!!
We had a great time and everything we could ask for was there! I love all of the recommendations that they gave us ahead of time to help plan where to shop and visit.
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!

Mark, thank you for the wonderful 5 star review, we would absolutely love to host your group again in the future! We are so delighted that you got to enjoy Captain's Cove as much as we do and experience the new deck, screened porch and new grill.
Perfect family vacation spot! Kids enjoyed the downstairs tremendously and adults enjoyed the main level. Beautiful place, inside and out! Hosts were extremely responsive to my questions before arrival. If come back to this area, we will definitely stay here 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!!
We had a great time in the water . The house had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space . I was involved in a car accident the week before the stay so the hill down to the water almost killed me , but overall a great time was had by all
House was clean and well stocked. No problems with check in and had a wonderful stay. Everything exactly as described and fantastic. Would stay again if in area.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay at our cabin and that everything met your expectations. It’s great to know the check-in was smooth, and the cabin was clean and well-stocked for your visit. We’d love to welcome you back next time you’re in the area!
Very spacious. Perfect for families. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans, dishes. The kids loved the downstairs amenities. We hardly knew they were there. Large deck. Everything was exactly as described in listing.
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.
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.
This house was excellent. Very well stocked. The most stocked house I have rented. Beautiful location. Very easy to talk to the owner. Would definitely return again.

Robyn, thank you for the wonderful feedback on the house and the area, we would love to host your group again in the future!
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!
The house was great - really suited our needs - the lower level family area was especially great as were the toys there for the littles to use. It was a wonderful trip for us.

About the host
Hosted by Lee and Blake
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.
