About this property

Waking up to lake sounds from the private screened in porch, swimming off the dock, and roasting s'mores in the firepit are our favorite pastimes at A Rough Life lake house.

As you enter, you will walk in to a recently remodeled kitchen and table for 4 that can extend to 6. The living room has a sleeper sofa, loveseat, and two recliners that can gaze through the sliding glass door at the lakefront property with yard that gently slopes to the lake. Down the hallway, you'll discover a full bathroom with laundry closet, bedroom on the left with a queen bed and doors leading to the screened in porch, and a second bedroom with full over full bunk beds. The two level deck overlooking the yard boasts ample seating for enjoying the lake view. A path towards the right of the property leads to the shared dock, where we spend most of our time swimming or fishing. Boat not included with rental, but boat rentals are available nearby at Nick's Boat Dock.

A Rough Life is conveniently located in the Tanglewood neighborhood. Cannons Point and Sandy Beach are nearby neighborhoods.

There is also trash service, so you must take trash with you when you leave.

There is one security camera over the side door entry that faces the gravel driveway.

Contact us for monthly booking discounts in the winter.

Please note: in the upcoming years, the Army Corps of Engineers will be adjusting water levels until long-term dam repairs can be completed, including targeting a summer pool water level of 490 feet, which is 5 feet below normal summer pool. Our dock has been moved out the allowed distance, so it is deep enough that we can still swim off the dock. You can also swim straight out from the house on our "beach." Just be careful for stick ups with the new levels. Pictures have been updated to reflect water levels near that. For updates, check USACE website. Check here for updated water levels. The water starts getting drawn down to winter pool levels starting October 15. https://www.lrl-wc.usace.army.mil/reports/lkreport.html

You can find boat ramps here: https://roughriver.uslakes.info/POI/Boat-Ramps/
Cannon's Point is the closest boat ramp but is private. The dock for this lakehouse is private per Army CoE regulations.

Perfect

This place was perfect and more than I could have imagined. The house was stocked with more than expected and I did not need to bring half of what I did. I will definitely be back in warmer weather to enjoy the water.

Perfect getaway

This house was perfect for our family of 4. Access to the water was extremely easy. The back porches were very relaxing. The house was very clean and provided everything necessary for easy cooking and entertaining kids.

Wonderful!

Location and access to lake was great. The house was very clean and well stocked with all essentials. Just a 10 minute drive to a Dollar General Marketplace. The dock was in excellent condition and fairly easy to access with our kayaks. Very peaceful and serene, we enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back!

About the host

Why they chose this property

This property was bought decades ago from family members, so when the original owners passed away, we wanted to purchase it to keep it in the family to allow our future generations to enjoy the lake as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

The yard that gently slopes to the lake is our favorite part of this location. We've stayed other places with stairs or steep hills, so this set up is highly desirable. My favorite part of our time here is sitting on the screened in porch in the morning and listening to the silent stillness with an occasional fishing boats passing by. The dock is just slightly off of the main waterway in a cove, enabling us to leisurely swim, float, or fish off the dock. We spend most of our time doing one of those things!
