You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront Getaway: Kayaks, fishing, game room, fire pit, gathering room…

Welcome to Rock-n-Kosh Bungalow — a peaceful riverfront escape where families and friends come to relax, reconnect, and make lifelong memories together.

Tucked along a quiet “no wake” section of the Rock River near Lake Koshkonong, our 3,000 sq ft bungalow offers the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and fun — with the feeling of being away from it all while still close to town.

✨ Sleeps 12 comfortably
✨ 4 bedrooms | 2.5 baths
✨ Private pier & waterfront views
✨ Eagle’s Nest Lodge gathering space
✨ Kayaks, canoe & paddleboard
✨ Game room, fire pit & outdoor games
✨ Fishing, biking & nearby trails

Guests love spending mornings on the sun porch with coffee, afternoons kayaking or fishing from the pier, and evenings gathered around the fire pit under the Wisconsin stars.

The favorite spot for many is the Eagle’s Nest Lodge above the garage — a cozy hangout space with a bar, jukebox, TV, games, and balcony views where you may even spot bald eagles soaring over the river.

Inside the garage game room, you’ll find ping pong, air hockey, arcade games, Xbox, darts, and more — plenty to keep kids, teens, and adults entertained.

Bring your own boat or rent one nearby to explore beautiful Lake Koshkonong for boating, tubing, skiing, and swimming. Prefer to stay on land? Enjoy nearby biking trails, golf, beaches, parks, shopping, and small-town charm.

One guest described it perfectly:

“If you are looking for a riverside getaway with plenty of amenities and the convenience of being ‘in town’ with an ‘out of town’ feel… this is the place for you!”

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, couples retreat, girls’ weekend, fishing trip, family reunion, attending a wedding, a getaway with friends, or golfing trip…Rock-n-Kosh Bungalow is the kind of place you will want to return to year after year.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

The hosts have thought of every little thing possible! Best stocked Vaca rental we ever went to! The extra space above garage (Eagles Nest) was where we hung out every morning & evening! Bar, jukebox, karaoke, plenty of seating, watch the fish jump in the river & eagles soaring. Perfect location to drive to The Fireside Theatre, downtown, supper clubs, very easy to get to! It was a 10 out of 10!!!!

This VRBO is the best yet. The owners were delightful to work with; the amenities were over the top and everything was labeled and easy to find. There is so much they offer that I've never seen before...it's like walking into your own house! We were even treated to a Charcuterie Board with individual cups filled to the brim with deliciousness! The beds were very comfy...the house was charming and very well thought out with so much character. I'd definitely return to this bungalow in Fort Atkinson!
We were headed to the Fireside for a 60's musical...so we got into the spirit by doing our hair!
Our complimentary charcuterie cups...so delightful!
