Great place to stay on Rough River! The house was clean, with plenty of room for our family to spread out, sit on the sectional and talk, sit at the table to play games, or sit out in the screened in porch to eat and enjoy the view. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the beach area just a short 2 min walk away. My mother-in-law did have a bit of a hard time with the walk to the lake. There's a path, it is a little steep. Just something to keep in mind if you have anyone with mobility problems. My husband ended up driving her down and back with a side path and that worked out well. The firepit is a great place to unwind at the end of the day. There is no outside grill. They do have a George Foreman grill inside. This wasn't a deal breaker for us as we brought a small charcoal grill with us. You do hear some road noise, it's not constant, but you can hear if from outside on the deck and firepit area and down at the lake. Again, this wasn't a deal breaker for us. The beach area is rocky. We used our water shoes and it worked out great. We did a lot of fishing; however, they just weren't biting much for us. We saw lots of fish in the lake. We brought our paddleboard and our son enjoyed using it on the lake and taking it out to fish. There's lots of spots to fish from the shore, but it is very rocky. The house feels very secluded. Our family gave it a 2 thumbs up and would definitely stay here again if/when we visit Rough River, KY.
