About this property
Rough River Lake House at Cedar Cove
Welcome to the Cedar Cove house, a picturesque retreat nestled along the serene shores of Rough River Lake. This idyllic location boasts a wealth of nearby dining options, making it easy to indulge in local cuisine. Just a short mile away, you’ll find the Rough River State Park lodge, where you can enjoy delightful meals accompanied by live music and various recreational activities. For those who enjoy the water, a nearby marina offers boat rentals and convenient boat ramps for boating adventures. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the Lafayette Golf Course, an inviting 18-hole masterpiece with a total par of 72; the course's distances vary from 4,200 to 6,900 yards, and it is open to the public. Only soft spikes are permitted on the greens. A on-site restaurant and catering services are available for a complete day out.
While setting on the deck, you’ll be captivated by the joyful sight of children splashing and swimming in the glistening lake, while evenings can be spent nestled around the cozy fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. Early mornings on the screened porch are a beloved highlight for our guests, offering a peaceful spot to savor your coffee as the sun rises over the water.

### Guest Access
Enjoy exclusive access to the entire house during your stay.
### Interaction with Guests
Should any issues arise, we're just a call away and can arrange for someone to assist.
### Additional Information
**Please note:** The Corp of Engineers prohibits the use of our dock; however, a gentle bank allows for easy loading and unloading of boats right in front of the house on the lakeside. For those looking to rent a boat slip, the State Park Marina—only a mile away—offers affordable daily rentals on a first come, first serve basis.
During the colder months, lake levels may drop, presenting a unique opportunity to hike and explore the fascinating lake bottom. ***As of 5/13/23, we want our guests to be aware that this year’s lake levels will be five feet lower due to dam repairs. Rest assured, swimming and fishing remain enjoyable, and launching a boat from the state park ramp will still be available. We are also working on relocating our docks further up the shore to enhance access to the water during this time. We can't wait to welcome you to our slice of paradise!8

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Paula Sisson

I live in Louisville and have always dreamed of having a house on a lake like the one we had as a child. I found it! And I want to share it with others so they could make there own summertime memories
Why they chose this property
Most lake houses have a steep decline to the water and heavily wooded between the house and water. Not this place it's like walking out your front lawn right to the water. A clear view to the boats and kids at play at the waters edge.
What makes this property unique
Only 2 steps to the main level that has both a bedroom and bathroom for guest that cannot navigate steps easily.
