Start your morning with a cup of hot coffee on one of the 2 comfortable rocking chairs in the living room and plan out your day. This window-lined space fills with natural sunlight every morning and has plenty of tasteful lake-themed accents and a beautiful wood-panel ceiling.

Before you head out the door, prepare a hearty breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and fuel up for the day. The living room stereo system is perfect for listening to your favorite song while you cook. Enjoy your culinary creations at the 4-person breakfast bar or take it to-go and enjoy it later on!

Unwind after your daily adventure by sipping your favorite beverage on the outside deck. There's no better way to end a night at the cottage than roasting s'mores at the shared outdoor fire pit with your loved ones! If you're staying at this property in the winter, the cozy living room is perfect for watching your favorite movie on the flat-screen TV.

When it's time to call it a night, retreat to the comfortably furnished bedroom to rest up for the next day's excitement. Additional accommodations can be found for up to 2 guests on the comfortable sleeper sofa in the living room.

-- THE LOCATION --

This cottage offers the perfect location in proximity to Lake Koshkonong. If you are bringing a boat with you, the cottage has easy access to a local boat dock and ramp located 1.5 miles away. Once your boat has been loaded in the water, the dock has plenty of spots to tie it up for the night. The Fort Atkinson city center is also an easy 5-mile drive from the property if you forgot anything at home.

When you're not dining at the cottage, enjoy a meal at one of the many local eateries on the shore. Some top local options include Sunset Bar and Grill, the North Shore Inn, Island Bar & Grill, and many more restaurants in the heart of Fort Atkinson. The Fireside Dinner Theatre is always a hit with the kids and grown-ups alike!

If you're staying at the cottage throughout the winter, enjoy access to a multitude of snowmobiling trails close to the property. Snowshoeing is also a therapeutic and a fun way to experience this winter wonderland.

Lake Koshkonong cottage

Cottage is in a pretty setting across from the lake. Owner’s home is next door and other cottages along the road. Rooms are smaller than picture show. Good value for the price and we were able to bring our dog!

Nice views, quaint guest house

The highlight of the property was having the water right outside the front door and a good-sized firepit. The guest house itself was not overly clean and is outdated, but we made do. The wide angle pictures make the property look larger but the description states its actual square footage. Having a place to bring the puppies for the weekend was a perk. The oven and stove top are pretty small if you're planning to cook, but there are pots, pans, and serving utensils provided. Checkin and checkout were contactless, but the property owner was in the main house for the duration of our stay. Overall, a decent first trip to the area.

60th birthday getaway

We had a wonderful getaway at this cabin! Sandy met us when we arrived and was available all weekend if we needed anything. We didn’t. The lake is beautiful, the cabin is what you would expect. One of the best parts is we were walking distance to one of the best supper clubs we’ve ever been to! The sunset short walk there was just beautiful! We loved our weekend away and we will definitely return in the summer!

Lovely place

This was a great little place. Loved the sound of the lake in the evening. The cottage was very nice and cozy. I would say that given that it can sleep up to 6 some more plates, glasses, and silverware would have been nice as well as access to a canoe or kayaks.

3 day getaway

We spent 3 days and 2 nights here. The neighborhood is nice and very quiet. The lake is directly across from the property - perfect views. The property itself could use some updating, but it's perfect for a short stay. We had everything we needed and the contactless check-in process was smooth and easy.

Beautiful view of the lake

Guest house with all of the necessities and a beautiful view of the lake. Property manager was accommodating throughout our stay. If you are ok with staying in a guest house that is on the same property as the main house which may have other occupants, then this was a great rental for an affordable price. Would highly recommend.

This cozy cottage was perfect for our winter getaway

We stayed here in the winter. Easy to get to from the highway, even in a snowstorm (no big hills or anything), and it was nice and warm inside, with plenty of hot water. The property managers came and cleared away all the snow for us in the morning. The cottage was pretty much exactly as pictured, except with a few more close neighbors now. Still feels very secluded, since there aren't many people here in the winter, and you have an unobstructed view of the lake from the big front windows. It's clear that the owners use the cottage a lot, and we think that's a good thing, because it means it's well taken care of. Good quality furniture and a comfy bed--a nice change from some cheapo AirBnBs we've stayed in. And the towels smelled just fine :) Altogether, it was just what we were looking for. Thank you!

Great little cottage with an incredible view of Lake Koshkonong. It is outdated, but the price reflects that and, as long as you’re not expecting the Hilton, you (and your pups!) will be perfectly happy here.

3 Nights on Lake Koskonong

Cabin had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. It was very comfortable even as the temperature reached 0. Everything worked great and it was a very relaxing 3 days away from our home while our floors were being redone. this is not the Ritz. Its a quaint comfortable cottage. It accommodated the 2 of us and our dog very nicely. We had a few friends visit and had plenty of room to entertain. Everyone commented on how cool the place was, even talked about renting it or the big house next door at a later date.
