The Cabin

Built to enjoy the lake — not to rough it.

This is a cabin, the way a cabin should be: warm, well-built, and ready for company. Set on a quiet cove off Rough River Lake with no through-boat traffic, 2199 Bluebird is the kind of place where Friday afternoon stretches into Sunday evening without anyone wanting to leave.

The main floor is yours: a private master bedroom, a full bathroom with shower, and a full-size kitchen complete with dishwasher. Washer and dryer are right there too — no hauling laundry up and down stairs. Upstairs, a loft with four full-size bunk beds sleeps eight in comfort, perfect for grandkids, cousins, or weekend guests.

Sold turn-key — furnished, internet on, TVs mounted, fenced kennel out back, UTV in the shed. Want a boat? The owner will include one for an additional charge. Bring your dock shoes and a cooler.

What's Included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

A cabin on the lake should feel like a vacation the moment you walk in. This one was designed exactly that way.

01

Master on the Main

Private bedroom and full bath on the first floor — with shower, washer, and dryer all together. No stairs after a long day on the water.

02

Loft Sleeps Eight

Four full-size bunk beds in a wide-open loft. Bring the grandkids, the cousins, or the buddies — everyone has a place.

03

Full Kitchen, Dishwasher

Real fridge, real stove, real dishwasher. Cook a full breakfast, host a fish fry, or just throw together sandwiches for the boat.

04

Internet & TVs

Full internet and televisions throughout. Stream the game, work remote a day, or stay connected. The lake life doesn't have to mean off the grid.

05

Storage Shed & UTV

Side-by-side UTV included — tucked into the storage shed alongside lake gear, tools, and everything you don't want hauling back and forth. Lock it up and head home.

06

Bring the Dogs

Fenced pen and covered kennel mean the four-legged family travels with you. They'll love the lake as much as you do.

07

Dock* & Quiet Cove

A private slip on the dock, just a short walk from the cabin. The cove has no through-boat traffic — swim off the dock or the back of the boat without dodging weekend wakes.

*Dock transfer subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval.

08

Full Bath with Shower

Clean, functional, and right on the main floor with the master and laundry. Tiled shower — everything you need after a day on the water.

09

Fire Pit & Outdoor Living

Generous decking, a fire pit, and lake views worth the trip alone. The Kentucky evenings out here are something else.

The Lake & The Setting

A quiet cove on Rough River Lake.

Easy lake access — with a boat slip*.

A rare and essential feature on Rough River Lake. *Slip transfer subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval.

Rough River Lake is a 5,100-acre Army Corps of Engineers reservoir in north-central Kentucky — clean water, easy fishing, and a pace that hasn't changed much in fifty years. 2199 Bluebird sits on a small cove with no through-boat traffic, which means swimming off the dock and off the back of the boat the way it should be: calm, safe, and yours.

And here's the bonus: the two best destinations on the lake are reachable from your slip or your driveway. Nick's Boat Dock — the area's full-service marina with gas, supplies, rentals, and the on-site Sometimes Grill — is a quick ride either way. So is the Falls of Rough Resort, home to Lafayette Golf Club. Pull up by boat for lunch, hit a round in the afternoon, run home for sunset.
