About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rough River Lake House conveniently located by Axtel Marina and Nicks Boat Dock

The house has four bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath. It can sleep 12 people, with bedding available for an additional 5 people upon request, so it’s perfect for that big family or group of families. It has an open floor plan with a fully functional kitchen and dining room, that has seating for 10-12 at a time. The basement still has a bar area that is unfinished, but there is a great game room for entertaining in the evening or on rainy days! Nick’s Boat Dock does rent pontoons, which is an option for those without a boat, or you could head less than two miles down the road to the north fork campground beach to enjoy a couple days of just swimming.

Full Disclosure: There are security cameras located on the perimeter of the house for monitoring the property, since this property is in a relatively rural area. These cameras are only reviewed when there has been an issue with the property or a specific group. There are also 146 steps to get down to the water.

The home was built with our family and kids in mind, so I'm sure it will be perfect for your family and friends.

This is a wonderful large home with a view of the lake and super location to Nick’s Marina. Kitchen is very well supplied. Home was neat and pretty clean for a rental. Could use a deep cleaning. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Check-in was super simple. Location was great for our purpose. It was picturesque even if you didn’t want to climb the steps to/from the water. Enjoyed the firepit and double decks in crisp fall weather. Unforeseen difficulties occurred immediately after occupying the property. Host was very responsive and went above and beyond to remedy the situation which was no fault of his or ours.

There were a couple of issues - grill was far from being clean - called the owner to advise him as it had gotten extremely hot. The ice maker did not work - the owner reimbursed us for the ice that we bought while there. Would recommend this property.

Very nice home

We had a very good time at this property on the lake. Very comfortable beds lots of room. Location was just a little bit hard for one of our handicap people. Property is located at the bottom of a very steep Hill. We couldn't get the TV downstairs to come on and see anything. Overall it was a good stay.

Staff Retreat

The house was just what we needed for our staff retreat. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of kitchen wares. We thought we were going to run out of toilet paper but we squeaked by! And the only thing we didn’t bring that would have been handy was aluminum foil but we picked some up. Thanks for everything
