Keep reading! Looking for a spectacular bungalow? If you are looking for a home that has the 4 Cs...character, charm, comfort and clean...then the Rock-n-Kosh Bungalow is your get away place! Our Bungalow is distinct in the graceful way the main roof curves down over the large, enclosed front porch. It has 3,000 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and sleeps 12 people - in 5 very comfortable queen beds and a queen futon. Meals can be prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. Want to watch TV? You can access local channels, 12 additional channels (ESPN,Disney, HGTV…) or stream using your own provider on all 3 Smart TVs. The Eagle's Nest Lodge is located above the detached garage, just a few steps away from the main house, and provides a separate gathering room for everyone! Looking for stay-at-the-bungalow activities? Sit on the sun porch with a cup of steaming hot coffee or tea and curl up with a book. Venture into the garage game room and play ping-pong, speed electronic basketball, air hockey, old school electronic bar top game, XBox One gaming system, dartboard, board games, and card games. Hang out in the Eagle's Nest Lodge above the garage, EVERYONE'S favorite place, where you can congregate around the bar, engage in conversation, listen to the jukebox, play games, watch TV, or go out on the balcony for the breezes, sights, and sounds of the Rock River as you search for eagles. Brand new wooden Gorilla playset for toddlers to 10-year-olds. Play outdoor games such as corn hole, ladder toss, fish off the pier or shoreline, sit around the fire pit making s’mores, and sipping your favorite beverage while watching the stars as they emerge from our breathtaking Wisconsin night sky. Looking for water activities? Have fun exploring the Rock and Bark Rivers using one of our FOUR kayaks, stand up paddleboard, and canoe. In the garage are all sizes of life vests for kids and adults. If you get too hot, climb down the ladder on your private pier to cool off. The Rock River (bottom is a little rocky), is a blissful ‘no wake’ area, which makes it perfect for floating, kayaking, canoeing, boating, and fishing. Take your personal boat or a locally rented boat to Lake Koshkonong for swimming, tubing, skiing, or just boating around the expansive 10,464 acres. Want to go swimming at one of the local beaches? Sandy Beach is less than 15 minutes away - clean and beautiful! We have 6 outdoor blue chairs, lawn blanket, cooler, and umbrella you can take with you. Plenty of fishing opportunities where you can catch several varieties of fish. Need a fishing pole? We have 7 adult poles, 2 for children, and a tackle box in the garage. Some of the fish in the Rock River are: walleye, catfish, panfish, northern pike, perch, blue gill, white bass, crappie, carp, and large/smallmouth bass. Looking for land activities? Hike or bike the 1-mile Bark River Nature Trail which is just a street away from the Bungalow. We even have 8 bikes that you can use and provide some bike helmets. The Glacial River Bike Trail will take you through a tree lined paved path, and if you stay on it long enough...a vintage, red-covered bridge. Make reservations at the Fireside Theater to eat a delicious meal, enjoy a musical, and shop in their unique boutiques. Bring your golf clubs, or use one of our sets, and your ‘A’ game for Koshkonong Mounds Country Club.

You can even choose to jump out of a plane! Our concrete driveway is long, and 6 cars can park in front of the garage and alongside the house. Vacation rental guests are not allowed to park in the street, it is a city ordinance, so please only park in the driveway. Our water frontage is easy to identify as the concrete is edged in a dark brown. Our Bungalow is one of the most special places for our family and friends, and guests.

They truly thought of everything that someone may need!! This is a vacation inside of itself and you would never have to leave the premises. We will make this a once a year stay if not more.

Be aware that there are lots of stairs. ##### Carol K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin D.

The kitchen was fully stocked with all your cooking needs which was great! We were surprised at how many little things were supplied for us in the kitchen.. coffee, creamer, aluminum foil, paper products etc. Our family enjoyed the game room as well as the fire pit area right on the water.

It has nearly every amenity, labels and instructions everywhere. Our group of 11 adults enjoyed a lot of time in the eagles best lodge. The river levels were at record highs so unfortunately we didn’t get the opportunity to use the canoe and kayaks. Everyone said their beds were comfy and showers were very nice. The homeowners were easy to reach by text and checked several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this to anyone! ##### Teri D.

Twila and Robert thought of everything we could possibly need for everyone who stayed ranging from ages 2 to 70! It was so nice to not have to worry about bringing all the extra gear for our toddler (stroller, pack n play, toys, etc.) We had 3 families stay for a 70th birthday celebration and there was plenty of space and things to do for all of us! We rented a pontoon one day from Anchor and enjoyed eating at the restaurant after and the kids loved the playground and sandy area there as well. Twila was awesome at communicating whenever we needed anything or wanted suggestions on places to go. I highly recommend staying at their bungalow! ##### Lisa F.

We stayed at the bungalow when we were in town to run a 5K for a charity organization. It is a great place to stay! There are so many activities to do: ping pong, air hockey basketball, darts, playground for the kids, fishing, plus tons of board games... we didn't turn the TV on all weekend! Our kids are already asking to go back! The owners were really informative of activities and restaurants in the area. Great suggestions for dinner! Also, I mentioned I loved nachos and they sent me their recommendation for nachos with photos! The house is completely stocked with anything you could need. They also had plenty of snacks out and even a charcuterie board for us to enjoy! It was such a nice surprise. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! ##### Samantha M.

Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a getaway with friends and family Booked this house for a weekend guys trip. Five life long friends had plenty of room within the house for sleeping, it has a great man cave / bar area to hang out in above the garage / game room that overlooked the river which was fantastic. The town is a ten minute walk from the house, so it’s great for bar crawls, and communication with the owners was fantastic. They were very responsive and also left us with a few extra things food wise we were pleasantly surprised to find and were definitely appreciated. There’s history about the home itself throughout the house and the backyard with the fire pit and game room would make both adults and kids happy. It’s a great town, very nice people and good food. I would highly recommend this house to anyone whether it be for an adult trip or family vacation. ##### Bob H. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew A.

Robert and Twila ensured the home was well maintained and stocked with essentials (in case we forgot anything) and were prompt in responding to our questions. As other reviews have mentioned, the Eagle's Nest is indeed everyone's favorite place! We enjoyed kayaking, playing games, bbq'ing and hanging out by the river. We even met their wonderful neighbors who were kind enough to introduce us to their home-canned dilly beans! Our stay felt less like a rental and more like staying at a family member's home. Thanks again Robert and Twila! Hope to stay again in the future! ##### Matthew A.

Currently we are a group of 7 - ages ranging from 16 to 83\. This house is exceptional. Twila and Robert are extremely generous in what they provide and communicating with them is easy. It is obvious they want all who stay here to have a wonderful time, and we did. We love to hike and good hiking trails are close by. We also love to kayak - which we did often - using the kayaks there are provided. Sometimes we ate dinner inside in the spacious dining room. Sometimes we ate outside on the deck. Sometimes we did puzzles together (most were furnished) in the living room and sometimes we did them in the bonus room over the garage. Bike riding and ping pong were also thoroughly enjoyed. This house is extremely spacious, well organized, welcoming, and lovely. It was easy to just relax and enjoy our time together. Thank you Twila and Robert! ##### Nancy G.

They have hosting a VRBO mastered to a "T"! We were blown away by their hospitality, organization, and the loving creative details at every corner. Throughout the weekend we had fun stumbling upon connections between the decor and the history theme of each room we were in! There were so many beautiful community areas throughout the property along with spaces to recharge away from the group as needed. Everything was well stocked and we adored the charcuterie board they gifted us! Even with the high water levels (which unexpectedly rose past the fire pit and the grill) Twila and Robert brought a portable fire pit for the lawn and a grill for the driveway. This is a wonderful location on a beautiful spot on the river, within walking distance of an adorable town, and with friendly neighbors that made it feel like home. The home was well prepared with indoor and outdoor activities for all ages and varied interests. We happened to be here for a bachelorette weekend, and it felt like we were at an adult summer camp! I couldn't imagine a more perfect place to spend quality time with close ones for a getaway trip! Countless times during our stay, my friends and I couldn't help saying, "I can't believe we found such an amazing place!" This was a truly unique experience, and we feel so lucky that this was the place we chose! We will definitely be recommending this place to others, and we look forward to planning trips here in the future! ##### Wild C.

We stayed in this beautiful home for our son's wedding. It was absolutely perfect in every way and our hosts Twila and Robert made everything so easy. We were able to have some extended family over for a fajita dinner the night after the wedding and the second floor with deck above the garage was spacious and comfortable. Our family really enjoyed the game room in the garage as well. When we travel and stay in VRBO's, I usually end up buying things for the kitchen but this was the most well equipped and organized kitchen (and home) we have ever encountered. As a matter of fact, I actually took a few pictures with my phone as a reminder of ways that I could improve organization of my own kitchen. We were too busy to kayak and canoe on the Rock River but a few family members did some catch and release fishing from the dock. I hope that we can go back to this house sometime in the future when we don't have so many wedding obligations. We would love to spend time kayaking the Rock and Bark Rivers and exploring all that Fort Atkinson has to offer. We travel and rent quite a bit and this was the most organized well-equipped comfortable home we have stayed in. Twila and Robert have thought of everything and at least one (or both) are organizing superstars. It was a fabulous stay and we were completely "over the moon" for the house. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce P. Jan 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wedding retreat Our family had a wedding in Fort Atkinson. We needed a place for the bridesmaid's to sleep and get ready before the big event. We were allowed to check in to the space early to change for the rehearsal on Friday afternoon. It was perfect. The place has four bedrooms and multiple gathering spaces. In addition there is also a space off of the kitchen over the garage. We choose not to use that space due to timing but I can only imagine during the summer the fun one could have! The girls were able to do hair and make up Saturday morning around a dining room table that seated eight comfortably. The bathrooms were stocked with more than enough towels, extra toilette supplies and all the shampoo/conditioner one could use. We were able to have a full breakfast using the appliances and oven for an egg bake! We made coffee for twelve people and had flavored creamers and other things that I wouldn't have remembered to pack. Twila and Robert have thought of everything. They had a "welcome" sign for us and a beautiful charcuterie. Every room had chargers for phones, multiple outlets and plenty of closet space. We didn't have any kids but in two spaces were a toddler bed and crib. Extra blankets were easy to spot and everything was labeled very well. Directions for locking and exiting were very specific and clean up a breeze, The wedding was perfect at the Creamery 201 and thank you for allowing our entire family of twelve to stay. It was exactly a six minute drive away. ##### Joyce P.
