The cottage has an open floor plan on the main floor with a kitchen, dining area and living room with 70" Flat screen TV. There are wall to wall windows on this level and a sliding glass door that opens to a nice deck with patio chairs. This level also has a half bath, brick fireplace and wet bar. The kitchen is newly remodeled with granite counter tops and high end appliances. It's fully equipped to cook and server meals for up to twelve guests. Just outside the kitchen is a gas grill where you can sizzle your steaks while you look over the water with a glass of wine. There is also an extra fridge in the basement our guests are welcome to use. It comes in handy if you are staying with a bigger group for a week.

Location:
We are close to Madison (35 min), Milwaukee(75 min), Chicago(120 min), Janesville & Milton (20 min) and Fort Atkinson (15 Min) and there is a lot to do in the area. There are several winery's very close by as well as hiking trails, kayaking and lots of local restaurants and bars to explore. Madison and Janesville both have amazing farmers markets on Saturdays we would recommend you check out. Make sure you add a visit to a genuine Wisconsin Supper Club while you are here. Our house guest book has some excellent dining suggestions.

About Lake Koshkonong:
The Kosh as the locals call it is a 10,595 acer lake created by the damn at the southwest end of the lake called Indian Ford. The lake has 6 different bar/restaurants you can boat to during the season and many of them have live music nightly. There is also a great sandbar where on a nice day you can pull up, anchor and hang out in the waist deep water with a firm sand bottom and play frisbee and relax. It's a popular party spot on the weekends. The fishing on Koshkonong is good. Common fish include, bass, northern, walleye and panfish. There is a boat landing just down the street and the lake also has a public beach.


Rental includes 2 Kayaks for use during your stay in the summer months.
This home also has a dock you can tie your boat to during your stay. The water at the end of the dock is around 4.5 feet and the shoreline is sandy with small pebbles.

You must bring your own bath towels - not acceptable!

Warning: This property does not provide bath towels (I'm not talking about beach towels). We were notified by email to bring our own bath towels AFTER we booked with this statement, “If you’re flying in from out of state, we may be able to provide towels for an additional cost.” To me, having to bring our own bath towels is like going to a nice restaurant and having to bring your own utensils or pay extra. You would think bath towels are standard! We brought our own bath towels in our luggage and noticed that previous guests (?) had left some bath towels, but not enough for the 5 of us. Also, the “basement’ is really a cement-walled utility room with a foosball table, arcade game, extra fridge, and toilet (with see-through curtain!). I cannot give this otherwise lovely vacation rental 5 stars. "Bring your own bath towels" should have been on the VRBO posting.

Beautiful location/view

We were a group of family members and a couple of younger kids. We had absolutely wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked. The rooms were comfortable. The water was still pretty high because of flooding and rainfall so the dock was only partially out, the neighboring docs weren’t out at all. But we were still able to get out the kayaks and, the kids jumped and played in the water even with the water high . I would recommend that the owners put in a rail from the main level with the kitchen and upper deck to go down to the lower deck where the patio furniture is because it was a challenging thing for my father in law to do and with minimal lighting at night he was fearful to attempt it once it was dark outside. so something to keep in mind for those who need better accessibility. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful house, beautiful views

We had a great time staying at this property! The house was just as advertised. We had a few small issues come up during our stay, but the property manager was extremely responsive. I would think twice about this place if you have young children. There are many stairs on this property, so we were constantly stressed about someone falling and getting hurt.

Family vacation

It was good overall. A very cool location. We had to go get cleaning supplies and do some deep cleaning when we arrived. Had some issues with the door lockpad and screen door, but they were very responsive and came over to help. Kayaks were great addition. Coffee maker was a bit sporadic. Back patio is pretty dangerous for kids as there are no railings around steep drop off points.

This place was exactly what we needed for a peaceful retreat. The only downside is it was 1 shower which made logistics a bit interesting, but I should have done a better job reading the description and do not fault the hosts.

Beautiful property for a group get together!

We had a group of 9 girls at the home for a girls weekend, and it was perfect. Awesome layout in the gathering area with a walk out deck as well as tons of sleeping options. We hit up two local wineries, Cafe on Main for breakfast/brunch (complete with mimosas and bloody Mary’s), and then lots of great punt options in downtown Edgerton. Wonderful weekend!

Great use of space that allowed for family fun and also some quiet time and space for the little one. The host provided us with lots of recommendations for things to do in the area.

Acceptable but with a few inaccuracies

The lake was lovely and the house in general was nice. A couple of drawbacks: we had serious trouble with the water pressure (like unable to shower - just dripping water) which was not fixed until the middle of the week and was apparently a large well problem. Also there were some inaccuracies/overselling in the listings, two of which were problematic for our family: First, the “beach” was tiny and littered with large pieces of metal (an old boat dock?) and was unsafe for the kids. Second, the largest of the rooms with the big window is actually on the balcony open to the living area so anyone who sleeps there had to stay up with everyone downstairs and get up with anyone who gets up downstairs. Not ideal with kids with different bed and wake up times.

Best house on the Lake!

We've been renting homes on Lake Koshkonog for several years now and this home by far is the best we've found yet. The listing describes the home perfectly and comfortably sleeps as may as it states. The home is beautifully updated with a gorgeous view of the lake. When we checked in the home was immaculately clean. There is ample parking for cars and a boat trailer if necessary. The owner was very responsive to our very minor requests. The kitchen was beautiful. The deck/patios are gorgeous and well maintained and provide comfortable family time outside. The only 2 things that would make this house even better is 1 more full bath, but we understand you can't just make a shower appear out of nowhere. Secondly a slightly longer pier would be nice since the water is so shallow off the shore, getting a boat to the shorter pier wasn't convenient, but doable. We would definitely rent here again and are already planning our trip for next year.
