McDaniels, Kentucky
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.
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.
This was an amazing stay for the holidays. The cabin is just the right size, cozy and comfy. We loved it and will book it again.
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.
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!
Absolutely beautiful ,very clean and updated. Only suggestion i would have is to have more than 1 TV. As neither bedroom has a TV..
The property is very nice and clean. Had everything we needed to cook. Plenty of towels and shower items. We didn’t make it down to the lake but could see it from the porch. The road the house is on is a little rough to drive on. The check in process was easy and the checkout list and process was easy as well. The owners are great at communicating and checking in. Would recommend for a relaxing time.
Perfect space for my husband and I to spend a long weekend. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The screened in porch is a wonderful and comfortable space to enjoy views of the lake.
Cabin was perfect. There was easy access to the beautiful lake, the accommodations were very comfortable, and overall provided a very relaxing experience. Would highly recommend.
The location was perfect, and the sisters have anything you could need to use available. I brought almost everything I could possibly think of, but had I not, they probably would have had it there! They were very responsive, the back porch has a great view and is very well lit, just a short walk down the hill to water, I could go on and on about how comfy it was. Wish I could have stayed longer! I would definitely return to this property again!
We had a good time except the boys couldn't use the dock to fish or swim from because e to use the dock were partly under water & looked unsafe to use.
This cabin was super nice
We loved staying at this house. It was very clean and very well stocked. We loved that we could walk down the back yard, swim in the lake, and not have to go anywhere else. The property owners were very responsive and very nice. We would love to stay here again in the future.
Beautiful view , we caught fish, the lakeshouse was very clean and updated. We had planned to stay 4 days and contacted the host /owner and requested 3 more days . We absolutely love this place and will definitely be back this summer.. The host replied very promply with any questions we had. Thanks for a great 1 year wedding anniversary and then the last 3 days brought our 4 grandkids and they ad a great time fishing and swimming.
We had a great stay. This house was in a great location, it was well stocked, and everything was clean. Communication was easy from beginning to end. Thanks again for everything! We will be back!
A Rough Life is such a great home to vacation at! My wife and I were there in the fall with great weather, but we didn't go too far from the home. We loved the screened porch off of the main bedroom. Great nights for playing cards. The home has TV and various streams you can pull up of your own. However, we rarely used the TV. We enjoyed the spacious deck for relaxing and enjoying the lake view. We loved everything about this home! We only stayed 4 days, but wish we had a full week there! We plan on returning for a week after the new year. The host was also very quick to respond to a few questions we had. Great story about the home! Thanks for a great stay!
We had a great stay here! The place was clean and provided everything we needed. The view was amazing..it was quiet and serene. Directions to the cabin were clear and easy to follow and the host responded promptly to questions.
Highly recommend this house for a lake getaway! The house has a great location, beautiful lake views and easy access to the water! Everything was clean and kitchen is nicely stocked. Host is very friendly and easy to communicate with. It was the perfect place for our family weekend on the lake.
