About this property

Swiftwater-Secluded Log Cabin-Falls Of Rough Private and Peaceful

Quiet place to Relax Lakeview
Swiftwater which sleeps 6 is a perfect place to stay whether you are hiking on the one-mile Lake Ridge Trail to explore for birds or Bald Eagle, boating on the 5,000-acre Falls of Rough Lake, or going to the beautiful lodge to dine, or attending one of their many events. The A-frame log cabin is surrounded by oak and pine trees that give lots of privacy to enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. The cabin has 2 bedrooms with queen beds in each room and a sleeper sofa in the living room. One of the bedrooms has a jetted jacuzzi tub plus a large walk-in shower and the other has a full tub/bath shower. The kitchen and living room are an open concept with a stone fireplace to enjoy on those cool nights and a large screen TV above. The kitchen is equipped with all the amenities you will need to enjoy your stay and we provide a few trash bags, paper towels, dishwashing soap, and sample coffee for your arrival. A full-size washer and dryer is available with detergent if needed. A gas grill is located outside for barbecuing with grilling utensils inside the kitchen. Behind the cabin is a fire pit and seating to enjoy at night to roast hotdogs or smores with your friends or family. The front deck has two dining tables with umbrellas and seating for eight to enjoy late afternoon views of the lake while relaxing or dining. There is a neighborhood pond to fish for catch and release for enjoyment. We have a TV in each bedroom and living room with Roku remotes and free Wi-Fi.
All decorated for Christmas 🌲Come enjoy the quiet and relaxing atmosphere for Christmas with family or friends. Beautiful gas fireplace to get cozy and watch your favorite movie!

Beautiful property about 25 minutes from town which is exactly what we wanted. Updated, clean, all modern conveniences. Just bring food and personal items, and you'll enjoy being secluded for a gorgeous time away from the world!

Beautiful Cabin

Gary is a great host and we had a a very nice stay celebrating a wedding anniversary and getting away for some down time with family. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and just as described. A quick drive to the Rough River Dam Lodge for some outdoor time, and also down the road for some great fish and burgers at BigMouth restaurant, were both nice adventures. We honestly just didnt feel the need to leave the cabin much!

This place is an absolute gem. The owners are very friendly and responsive and also check in to make sure things are going smoothly. My husband and I have stayed here twice just to get away from every day life and to relax. The cabin is stocked with everything you need for your stay. The beds are very comfortable and the jacuzzi tub is the absolute best part of it all. We cannot wait to book our next stay!

This was by far the nicest property that we have stayed in at Rough River!

We loved this cabin! It was conveniently located, well stocked, neat and well decorated! The owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions that we had. I would definitely recommend this cabin as the number 1 choice to stay at Rough River.

Jewel in the woods

We loved this cabin! It's very close to Rough River State Park where we usually stay on Memorial Day Weekend. But this cabin is so much better than the State Park's cabins. Very clean and well furnished. It was great to have a nice place to stay since we were inside for quite a while due to the weather. We hope to be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Davis or Lynn Davis

Host profile image
Lynn and I are from Glasgow, Ky., and love the outdoors and camping. We sold our five-bedroom/bath cabin in December 2023 which we bought in 2010 in Gatlinburg, TN. Had it listed with VRBO and Airbnb since 2018 and many guests came and enjoyed their stay in the beautiful mountains. We loved our cabin, but with us getting older it was getting more difficult for us to drive, and wanted a home closer to us to enjoy more. We love being a host and want others to enjoy what our home has to offer. We will be adding new amenities as we can for guests to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We have always had a love for the A-frame design and the rustic cabin design. The area is very private and peaceful with a lake view and the Falls of Rough River State Park is a 10-minute drive from the house. A neighborhood pond is located in the area for catch/release fishing to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin has a fenced-in yard and the area is very private and peaceful and surrounded by large oak and pine trees. Firepit with seating for those cool nights and stargaze of the beauty around you. A front deck is great for dining or enjoying a cocktail/mocktail with friends and family with Lakeview.
