Unparalleled Proximity to the Water
The highlight of this property is its unparalleled proximity to the water. Kosh Kottage is situated just feet from the lake, offering a unique advantage as newer homes can't be built this close.

The views from the deck and inside the house are simply incredible, allowing you to soak in the beauty of the lake from sunrise to sunset.

The shoreline features retaining rocks (not a sandy beach) but offers easy access for swimming right off the dock. The bottom by the dock is typically weed-free and sandy with a gradual drop-off, making it perfect for swimming and water activities. Plus, we provide two kayaks for guests to use during their stay.

Fishing and Outdoor Activities
Fishing enthusiasts will love Lake Koshkonong, known for its excellent walleye fishing and abundance of panfish, bass, and northern pike. Whether you prefer a self-guided trip or want to take advantage of local fishing guides, the lake offers fantastic opportunities for anglers of all levels.

For outdoor enthusiasts, bring your boat and take advantage of the private dock available during your stay. Lake Koshkonong, a 10,000-acre lake, also features six different restaurants accessible by boat and a popular sandbar where swimmers and parties gather every weekend. The lake connects to the Rock River, allowing for scenic boat rides up to the Indianford Dam.

Perfect Escape from the City

Last minute vacation for my Birthday
We saw the weather was to be unseasonably warm and decided to vaca here for my 50th bday. We really didn't need all the space this place has. Well we invited our Sons family for one of the nights due to the wonderful layout this rental had. They had the entire upstairs which provided separate bathroom, bedroom, and family room for their whole family. The hot tub outside under the stair was amazing. The only downside for us renting in the future is the walkout into the water was very rocky and not as sandy as I would like for all the grandkids and myself to play in the water. We only did walk the first 10 foot of shore so maybe it gets better the further out you go. Kosh is shallow for a long way out. We also wondered if we had a boat if it would need to be anchored a ways out to have it by the rental. The water level by the dock is only 1-2' when we stayed. Again kosh is a shallow lake so you will have to discuss docking expectations before renting. The other big hit was the large game room with shuffle board, ping pong, old school arcade, and board games. Nicely done! Would totally stay here again. The management team was excellent with out questions and replied very quickly with any message.

Kosh for the Win!
We had a group of family members in the area for a wedding. The group was too big for one place- so we broke up a found our own spots. We selected Kosh Kottage and couldnt be happier. Not only did we love it- but all the family members who visited us wished they were staying there. We had the best house ajd the best view and access of anyone among the five properties rented. Thanks, Jon!

The game room was not up to par. Their binder with rules were only about rules and absolutely, no suggestions on where to eat. Listen to live music or places to go. Very sad on accessories. oap

The View
This is a great property for families. The location is on the calmer side of the lake (perfect for the kids) and it is a beautiful view. We had a lot of fun and we will look into renting here again for our next Kosh stay. The space is wonderful and the house itself has alot of space and fun within it. My only complaint would be one broken toilet (out of their control but still an inconvenience) and the shuffle board sand that was all over the floor when we got there so I started our stay with vacuuming the entire house. Thank you for allowing us to make great memories in your space.

Family vacation
Adorable house, perfect for families with kids! Newer property for owners so some of the convenience items haven’t been acquired yet like in other listings. Back door latch was broken and owner was very responsive. Clean, comfortable beds and amazing views. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
