Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adina U. 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Captain's Cabin The cabin was gorgeous with lots of amazing antiques and memorabilia. The hosts were sweet and doting, leaving us lots of treats and things. They do live RIGHT next door, almost on top of the cabin, which could be a negative if you are wanting more privacy or a more remote location. We loved having a fireplace we could actually use (many places don't let you build a fire). So relaxing! Having a Sleep Number bed was a huge plus. All in all, it was homey and comfortable. We enjoyed the beauty of the lake, creek, and fall foliage. of little treats and things. ##### Adina U.

The cabin itself is accurately represented in pictures. Loved the wood burning fireplace. Wifi perfect. Based off the property listing, it was not as private as I had hoped. When we arrived, 9 crackers, 2 small cheese cubes and wine were on the table. Don’t drink, so wine was left. Several kitchen food items were expired (coffee, microwave popcorn and hot chocolate add-ins). The breakfast was the biggest disappointment… one small dry biscuit, 3 (half pieces) candied bacon and cheesy eggs. When it states “you won’t go hungry” - we left to go get food. It is sweet place but not worth the price I paid at all. What we experienced, it feels like a $175 per night (all in). We overpaid by a lot! ##### Cheryl B.

The accommodations were amazing - so many little Revolutionary War details - and everything in the cabin was squeaky clean!! We enjoyed meeting both hosts and really loved the cooking class. A couple of constructive criticisms though: since they are focused on "relaxing" and not worrying about anything, it would really be nice to have curtains in the bedroom!! But instead --- We were both woken up super early by the sunlight streaming into the bedroom. We really wanted to sleep in but was unable to sleep beyond 6:30 am - the sun was strong!! Two, it was clear in the property notes that there was only a tub and no shower but.....it would be nice to have a shower "hose" available to attach to the faucet for the tub. They are not super expensive and it would be a nice option. The available "pitcher" was not really a viable option for washing my hair nor did my husband think it was easy to use to rinse himself off after his bath. He said It was super awkward.... All in all a relaxing weekend in general but the above items, especially the sunlight streaming in at 6 AM, detracted from it a lot. ##### Lori S.

Karl and Melanie from Alabama: Amazing, authentic,1800's log cabin with all the modern amenities (A/C, Fridge, Microwave, Stove/Oven, Coffee Pot, Keurig and a Sleep Number Bed). Our hosts, Jan and Tammy & Captain their very calm dog, welcomed us and we immediately felt like we had been long time neighbors. Jan and Tammy were both there for us if we needed anything but also gave us our space. Melanie and I were there to visit our daughter who recently relocated to Louisville. We unloaded a U-Haul full of her things and the cabin was the perfect place to rest, and recover. We spent hours each morning just sitting on the front porch drinking coffee and taking in the beautiful setting. On Saturday and Sunday Tammy brought delicious gourmet breakfasts to our front door (Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissants, Cheese Grits and a Bourbon Apple Pie Saturday, and a Sausage/Egg/ Cheese/Hash Brown Casserole, a Raisin Bourbon Bread Pudding and a huge bowl of Blueberries, Strawberries, and Grapes with Balsamic Vinegar on Sunday). Trust me, I'm a regular ole grits and eggs guy...It was all delicious. The surroundings are full of beautiful flowers and trees. It's just a short walk (or you can drive) to the creek or pond. The fire pit sits down from the cabin in the open area below Jan and Tammy's house We saw deer, ducks rabbits, a weasel, and the creek is full of crawdads. We had a wonderful time visiting with our daughter and playing in the creek. Jan and Tammy were wonderful hosts as well. ##### Karl B.

The cabin was beautifully appointed, featuring a full kitchen, a cozy upstairs bedroom with a comfortable queen-size bed, and a charming fireplace downstairs.Tammy was an exceptional host—she stocked the refrigerator with plenty of breakfast goodies and snacks, and even delivered a hot breakfast to us on a chilly morning! The location was perfect, and we truly loved every moment of our stay. We’ll definitely be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f92adc2b-082a-43e0-94cb-ca4876368396-1762004901953.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bobby P.
