Lakefront Diamond on The Rough

Newly renovated lakefront home with lots of charm. Have a relaxing evening by the fire pit or enjoy kayaking to sandy beach. This home offers plenty of parking for cars and vehicles with boats. Neighborhood boat launch located 2 tenths of a mile away. This home is fully stocked with amenities for your comfort and relaxation. Large private back yard with a new cozy fire pit. There are two, two person kayaks that can be carried to the waters edge. We are a mile away from Rough Rivers Sandy Beach hang out spot. Our boat launch is very convenient and located 2 tenths of a mile from this home. We also have 2 other cabins in the area that will accommodate a need for large groups who want to be close. The two cabins are Creekside Retreat and A Frame of Mind. We are also a side by side and golf cart friendly community if you would like to take evening rides around the neighborhood.

It was a shining diamond on the rough river!

Great home to get away with my family for the week. Under an hour drive to mammoth caves. Loved using the kayak’s and paddling around the Rough River. Great stay

The cabin was so cute, clean and very well stocked. The decor was awesome. We saw deer both days and watched the squirrels play in the backyard. So peaceful.

Family Weekend Stay at the Diamond

My family of 4 was in the area for a wedding. We loved our stay at Christy and Joe's place! The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and having 2 bathrooms was definitely a plus. Because of the weather (it was rainy all weekend) we unfortunately didn't get to enjoy any of the outside spaces. Check in and check out were quick and easy, and Christy and Joe always responded to any communication in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend staying at this fantastic home if you are in the area.

Diamond rental at Rough River

Great location in a quiet neighborhood with a launching ramp minutes away. The house was well built and maintained with an attention to detail. The property was spacious and included a fantastic fire pit. Plenty of parking and a pull thru driveway.

The only downside was lack of internet. But given the creek and the lake right there kinda didn’t matter. If you want to get away from everything and just unplug and have fun then stay here.

Beautiful!!

This little cabin is absolutely beautiful. We went for a girls trip and it was the perfect size for 6 adults. Very spacious and the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could have needed as well. The only thing I would change or add is party lights or some source of lighting down by the fire pit. Overall a great little getaway.

Wonderful unit

Our stay was wonderful. Unit was very clean and updated. The only downside to the unit is there is no closets or drawers in bedrooms to unpack our stuff. However with that said that would not prevent us from staying there next year as it was a nice place. Owners were VERY responsive when I had questions. . Thanks to Joe and Christy.

Lake life

Cabin was perfect and spotless. Parking was great. Front porch, deck and fire pit area was perfect . We could walk down to the lake but couldn't swim from there due to low water levels and it is a little steep. We did go to the boat ramp in the neighborhood and swim there the 2nd day. Water was nice. We were there on the hottest weekend!!

Best stay ever!!

This house was an absolute dream!! It came with everything we needed and more! The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook each meal which made it so enjoyable as a family. The house has an accessible grill, fire pit with wood and starters, access to the lake, provided towels, Wi-Fi, and SO much more. The hosts were extremely friendly and did everything they could to make this an enjoyable vacation. They always quick to respond and extremely helpful. 10/10 in my book and would love to stay here again!!! -The Kepple’s

Mother and Son

Amazing host. We enjoyed this property and the amenities. The lake was stunning. We enjoyed being able to kayak around and see the wonderful nature scenes. The water fall, large rocks landscapes and beautiful trees were a refreshing backdrop to our mother and son getaway. We bonded. and spent a time together just hanging out. The weather was not as good as we would have hoped for and the fish didn’t bite🙃. The homeowners made sure there were plenty of supplies needed for a worry free stay. Thank you!

Wish had better water access

The place is beautiful. Peaceful and quiet. Wonderful place for relaxing, sitting around a fire. But access to the water was difficult unless you have a boat and trailer. My husband wanted to fish but access to the water is down a tree and rock covered hill. Couldn't case due to trees amd branches. The dock that is available to guess says no fishing so Couldn't fish. My husband was disappointed. I did enjoy some canoeing but bringing the canoe back up the hill is difficult. Overall it was a nice time

We had a great time during our stay. The house is really nice and had plenty of space for my family. It was stocked with everything we needed. We took advantage of the kayaks and went out on the lake a few times. We would definitely love to stay again next summer.
