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.

We were very comfortable in the house and enjoyed our stay! The host was very responsive and the home had everything we needed! We really enjoyed the super warm fireplace and large TV.
Disappointed with game room. Other then that, our group had a very good stay. The view is to die for. The best perk of our stay. The water was cold but three of us did a cold water plunge. Have to say it wasn't bad. Wish the weather was a bit nicer because outside is where it is at for this stay.
Great views, clean home, great communication with the host through out the stay and they even accomodated our request for a late checkout! Amazing all throughout. Highly recommend this stay!
You cannot beat the views from this property. Sunrise and sunset from the balcony were amazing. Beds were comfortable and the house was spacious for our group. Had everything you needed to enjoy the lake life trip.
This was not what I was expecting. The pictures online look like a new home with a downstairs with a nice game room. This is an old cottage with a few updates. It was not clean. The ceiling fan covered in black dust/dirt. The vents were full of dirt. There were cobwebs & bugs. Hair on pillow cases, blankets and no zippered covers on the pillows. I was expecting a nice lakeside home. This was not. I would not stay here again.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the home didn’t meet your expectations. We do want to clarify a couple of points, as this property has been recently remodeled and is inspected prior to each guest’s arrival to ensure it is clean and ready.
The photos you shared appear to focus on areas that are quite high up—like the ceiling fan and upper window spaces—which can occasionally collect some dust or cobwebs between deep cleanings, especially in a lakeside setting. That said, we still take this seriously and will have our team take another look to make sure everything is up to our standards.
We also want to assure you that all sheets and linens are commercially laundered between every guest stay. Finding anything that suggested otherwise is certainly not typical, and we understand how that would be concerning.
We’re sorry this stay didn’t align with what you were hoping for. Feedback like yours is helpful as we continue to fine-tune both the home and how it’s presented. We do stand behind the cleanliness and condition of the property, but we’ll use your comments to improve wherever we can.
We appreciate you giving the cabin a try and wish you the best moving forward.
Jon B. and the Manage Cabins Crew
Fantastic place with great walleye fishing. Troll scatter raps at about 4’ I would recommend you bring a saute pan if you plan on cooking. Theirs was kind of rough. Other than that, highly recommend this place!
