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.

Hidden Gem
This property was wonderful! I don't feel the pictures on the listing do it justice. The home was spotless and we felt at home the moment we walked in! Beautiful views and we enjoyed just relaxing at the house. The house had everything we could possibly need. My family and I book trips often and I can honestly say this stay was one of the best experiences we've had with check-in, communication with the owner and also with basic needs provided. I highly recommend choosing this property! :)

Perfect end of year getaway!
This was the perfect place for a getaway with my daughter, her husband and her in-laws. We spent lots of time playing games at the perfect kitchen table, playing pool, exploring the river bed, playing frisbee golf, watching movies and just relaxing. We had everything we needed to cook all 8 of our meals. I had not noticed that there was no Wi-Fi or cable, but my husband was able to use his phone as a hotspot to watch the football games on his computer.
