Captain's Cabin Bed & Breakfast: Bourbon Trail, History & Romance

Enjoy your own log cabin on a wooded hillside overlooking a lake as you start on the bourbon trail, head to the races or visit great museums. It's been the location for four movies, including Lifetime, as well as several commercials! Period furnishings and modern conveniences make this an unforgettable retreat. A massive stone fireplace creates a quiet ambiance. Tasteful antiques appoint the cabin for a step back in time.

Captain's Cabin offers a special one-of-a-kind experience surrounded by history and luxury simultaneously. You will enjoy your own full kitchen, fully equipped and stocked with spices and supplies. The bath has been lovingly renovated while retaining the clawfoot tub. Enjoy a long soak with hand-crafted scrubs and soaps. There is no shower! You are surrounded in comfort from the ultra soft sheets, luxurious robes, and Sleep Number bed to the gourmet hot breakfast delivered to your door every weekend morning. Continental breakfast is provided on weekdays. (We promise you won't go hungry!) Join us for a Cooking With Bourbon Dinner Experience on weekends. Sip wine by the fireplace, read on the back porch swings or enjoy the wildlife visiting the lake from the front porch. Only 17 minutes from downtown Louisville, you are surrounded by 8 acres of woods and wildlife. Take a walk along the lake, hike through the woods and discover the waterfall. Take a canoe ride or go wading in the smooth limestone creek. Warm up by the firepit and roast marshmallows or use the grill to make your favorite dinner. Play golf or disc golf on the adjacent public courses. Captain's Cabin was featured in the April 2015 issue of Country's Best Cabins magazine, 2015 September issue of Style Blueprint magazine and April 2016 Home of the Week in Courier Journal.

Captain's Cabin is a great place to start your Bourbon Trail adventure, experience one of the Top Foodie Cities, visit the Ark and Creation Museum, bet on the ponies at Churchill Downs or visit Louisville's notable museums, including Slugger Baseball Museum, Ali Center and Frasier History Museum. But many people come here just to relax and get away from it all!

Cabin Stay
Such a neat old cabin! It was beautifully decorated with all of the amenities you’d need today. There is a microwave in the pantry closet which I didn’t find until day 2 so that made things much easier. Breakfast was wonderful and all of the local recommendations were greatly appreciated!

Unique property
This location was exactly as described. It was one of most interesting and quite different from the average property. If you like the feel of a rustic cabin in the woods with amazing scenery, then this is a great spot. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and kind. The house has all of the basic needs and more. I appreciate being able to experience this one.

This sweet cabin is ideal if you want to step back in time and relax! Lots of interesting vintage things to enjoy inside and outside of cabin. The hosts greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay! Wonderful Fully equipped kitchen; however Louisville has great places to eat so we took advantage of that😁 Excellent place to stay if you are looking to explore Louisville!

Charming Cabin, Great Hosts, Perfect Location
My wife and I chose Captain's Cabin for our anniversary trip. We were extremely happy with our stay, with every little detail taken care of. The hosts were friendly and attentive, the cabin combined historical charm with modern convenience, and the location was convenient to downtown Louisville, nearby shopping, and for a day trip to Mammoth Cave. It had the feel of a wooded retreat, yet convenient to major highways.

Quiet retreat close to Bourbon trail
Our hosts were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The cabin was just as pictured, with a fire waiting for us on the night we arrived. The homemade breakfasts were out of this world. We had a fabulous time as a couple and would definitely stay again if we ever get a chance to return to the Louisville area.
