About this property

Relaxing Waterfront Retreat ~ Rough River Lake ~ Includes Kayaks!

Anytime of year, the Nest is the perfect spot for those looking to unplug and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at our lakefront property. Every season has its own beauty.
Sip your favorite beverage on the upper deck or cook that perfect meal on the propane grill while enjoying the sounds of nature and views of the glistening lake between the trees. Take a leisurely walk around the neighborhood loop. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for wild turkey, deer, groundhogs, turtles, frogs, bunnies or salamanders.
The property offers approximately 2000 sf of living space, and will sleep 8-10 comfortably. The main level features an open concept kitchen/ living room with propane fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials, many spices, condiments, filtered water at both the refrigerator and at the sink. There is an additional refrigerator on the lower level. In the main floor you'll also find a bedroom with king size bed, full bathroom with laundry facilities. The loft area features 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds and a huge Big Joe for lounging.
Lower level features a separate master bedroom with king size bed (with additional folding cot in closet), a full bathroom large open area with additional couch, recliner and T.V. (dvds only) a pub table and stools, another refrigerator and full size pool table. The lower level has walkout to fire pit area in the backyard and a dirt path that leads down to the lake.
Since we value our lake time, there is currently no WIFI or cable here at the Nest, but we do have kayaks (2) with life vests, fishing poles (2) and plenty of pool noodles to use during your stay. Spend your rainy days or evenings playing a board game with your kids or watch one of several movies available. The Nest is the perfect place to reconnect with family and friends, enjoy quality time together and make memories that with last a lifetime. We love our time at Rough River and hope you will as well.
Rent a pontoon for the day at Nick's Boat Dock or head over to Rough River State Park to enjoy the beach, tennis or a hike on their nature trail. Great place for families and friends to come together.

Great family getaway!

Great property, great location. Very nice and spacious home. The interior was very clean and inviting. Owner provides everything you could need for a stay from kitchen equipment to towels and linens. We really enjoyed having direct water access, even though the water was very high during our stay. Kayaks provided were a plus for our children. We would recommend the rental to others.

Perfect Lake Getaway

This property was absolutely perfect. Everything was clean and well stocked. We were pleasantly surprised that even the grill was clean and ready to use. The location was beautiful. We were able to walk right down the backyard to access the lake. It’s also only ten minutes from the state dock where we rented a boat. Booking was easy, and the property manager was super responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Spot

Was a beautiful cabin, and the kayaks were fun. Only thing that could make it better would be a boat dock. Fully stocked. Lots of movies to watch. Cell coverage was good enough for essential communications.

Lovely Lakeside Getaway

Stayed at this property for a few days in October on a trip to visit family. We wanted a quiet place to connect and hangout and this property delivered. The pool table offered hours of entertainment and though we were there too late in the season to rent a boat and spend a day on the water, we kept ourselves busy and had a great time!

Great get away

The house was easy to find, nice quiet spot at the end of the street. House lay-out was perfect everyone had plenty of space. No Wifi no problem plenty to do. The path down to the dock was a bit much for my wife and I. Over all had a nice time.
