About this property

Rough River Lake Cliff Top Retreat

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil cliff top getaway. It's all about the panoramic and unobstructed water front views! Have a wonderful job time to rest, relax and enjoy the lake. This is half of a duplex with an open floor plan, a primary bedroom, a bedroom loft, a full bathroom with shower and a fully outfitted kitchen. Just step out from the family room to enjoy your morning coffee with a beautiful sunrise, evening drinks, or even dinner on the private HUGE deck overlooking the beautiful lake. A 5-8 minutes drive gets you to the Rough River Dam State Park and all their amenities.

In addition to the dedicated oversized deck with furniture, dining table, ceiling fans and a gas grill, the outdoors offers a fire pit and additional lookout deck that is shared with the other unit in the duplex. There's plenty of parking for several cars and even a towed boat in the semi-circular gravel drive. The community around the lake offers several fantastic restaurants, boat rentals, kayak rentals, festivals and activities.

I'm happy to host guests with 1 dog ($50 pet fee applies) with host approval. No cats.

There is no direct lake access, but there are plenty of options for lake activities close by. I'm happy to make recommendations for your visit.

For a limited time, send me a message and ask about our 15% discount on nightly rate for VRBO clients who book a minimum 3 night visit this summer.

For the security of our property and our guests, there is a security camera (records sound and motion) at the front door.

Please acquaint yourself with our cancellation policy. We always recommend travel insurance to protect yourself against unforeseen events.

Unbelievably Relaxing

If you're looking to get away from it all and want remarkable views, this is the place to stay. The property was clean, well-stocked, and communication with our host was outstanding. We were lucky enough to experience a full moon during our stay and the reflection of it across the water was breathtaking!

Clean, comfortable and an amazing view!

We so enjoyed our stay here! The rental was one half of a duplex and more spacious than it appears in the pics. Chrissy was great to work with and super helpful. I would recommend this rental any time!

Excellent!!

This little cottage is adorable, comfortable, and the views of the lake are superior. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We plan to schedule again and bring the hubbies next time. Easy to find and close to interesting things to do.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE VIEWS/AND RESPONSES!

This place...is a slice of perfect heaven. Its quiet and perfectly placed in a beautiful area where i woke up drank coffee on the back deck and had the most incredible view. Phones were put away by choice...after a ton of pictures were taken of course! The owners of this place, i cannot stress how perfect and sweet they were. Never made me feel like i was a bother and believe me this was our first time going thru VRBO and she was so kind. Was so warm and totally matched the WHOLE asthetic! Listen its perfect but bottom line, you NEED to see it for yourself and i promise you will love this new, clean, beautifully, perfect peice of heaven.

So Quiet

I'm not sure we have ever stayed anywhere that was so peaceful and quiet. While the view of the lake from "Rough River Lake Cliff Top Retreat" would probably be better in Summer, the view was still beautiful. From this cozy, casual home, we could see pretty sunrises, even more colorful sunsets, and people fishing from boats on the lake. There is no access to the lake, however, as the home is on a small but steep cliff. But the state park is only a short drive away. We enjoyed the rockers and other well-made sturdy furniture on the deck. We took walks down the quiet rural street. The unit was well stocked and had everything we needed. Plenty of hot water for showers. Wi-fi was good. My daughter had no problem streaming movies.
