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.

### More Information

#### Spacious and Accessible

The Cedar Cove house is designed for comfort and ease, featuring straightforward access from the street to the main level of the house.

### 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

We had a wonderful time taking a family vacation at this home. We had 7 adults and 3 children and had plenty of space. The screened in porch was our favorite feature, but everything else was also wonderful! The ease down to the lake was great and we caught a few bluegill right off the bank. The other plus was the location to the state park where we rented a boat and heard some live music. Would definitely book again! Thanks for a great extended weekend getaway at the lake.

The home was spacious, comfortable and well furnished. The two decks offered lovely views of the lake. There is abundant wildlife and we enjoyed the relaxing sights and sounds (cranes and deer feeding in the yard). We watched a young fisherman catching fish right from the shoreline.Unfortunately due to the high water levels, the walk into the water was mucky and difficult to maneuver. Normal water levels should make it a completely different experience. The location is on a nice quiet end of a street and a calm and quiet cove area on the lake.

Perfect location!!! We loved the house and the closeness to the lake with dock. Very spacious and very clean. The owner went way over and beyond for us and was easy to get ahold of. We are hoping this house will be our new house for Labor Day weekend!!! Thank you!

Relaxing weekend

We didn’t get to use the house much or even walk down to the lake. We mostly had coffee in the morning and just slept there because we were busy at our cousin’s house and the state park for our annual family reunion. The house was perfect for the 4 of us and we didn’t even need one bedroom or the downstairs. We would stay again!

good lake access. well equipped.

Nice screened in porch. Easy slope to water. well equipped small kitchen. We brought our boat and tied up with no problem. The State ramp is nearby. state dock/fuel nearby. We had a nice stay. Had a good meal at nearby Big Mouths restaurant. This is listed as a non-smoking property, however, the home had a very very very very strong weed odor which was a bit offensive. One of us also had an allergic reaction to a blanket with probable animal dander. There is a firepit, but no firewood. The parking is limited. All in all, We spent most of our time on the lake and had a great time.

Very clean & excellent location!

We really liked staying at this property! We stayed over the week of Thanksgiving to attend dinner at the home of nearby family. We had 6 adults and 2 teens ranging 12-80 and there was adequate space for everyone. It was also easily accessible for 3 seniors, one of which is completely blind. The house is extremely clean, well furnished, and has comfortable bedding and a well-stocked kitchen. The 3 levels gave us all space. I can see that this would be a fantastic place for a summer stay with the outdoor spaces and the lake. However, the house doesn't have hot tub as the listing states and the owner requests that you take showers, not baths, even though it does have a tub. The only negative for me was the lack of transparency about having to conserve water due to there being a septic or black water tank. I feel like this should be clearly stated in the listing. I have never encountered this in renting homes many places, including drought states, like California. We only stayed 4 nights in November, so it wasn't a problem for us. However, if I were planning to stay there a week in the summer I would expect to be able to do a couple loads of laundry per day of towels and swimsuits for hygienic purposes. The listing states there is a washer and dryer, but doesn't mention that personal laundry is limited. I only found that out after booking. For a long weekend or if you don't mind the water limitations this is an outstanding,fantastic rental. I would definitely stay there again!

Falls of the Rough

Everything was great. The only surprise was the water restriction. We are a family of 10 and did the best we could. Limited showers, no personal laundry, full dishwasher, and limited flushing. Otherwise it was great. Clean when arrived and we left clean as well. Easy boat rental and friendly neighborhood.
