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 is a great place to start your Bourbon Trail adventure, attend concerts, 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 to relax and get away from it all!
