Lakefront Getaway with Hot Tub, Dock, & Game Room - Kosh Kottage
Welcome to Kosh Kottage
Your perfect lakefront retreat on Lake Koshkonong! This stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Situated on the northeast side of the lake, our home is just a short walk from the Outpost Bar and Grill (formerly Norm's Hideaway) and boasts a sandy lake bottom right out front, ideal for swimming and water activities.
Inside the Kottage
Inside, Kosh Kottage features a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area with beautiful lake views. The additional living spaces include an extra kitchen area, 3 bedrooms and a bunk room, and a laundry room, making it perfect for families or groups. The game room, complete with a ping pong table, shuffleboard table, dart board, and an arcade game, promises fun for all ages.

First Floor: 1/2 Bath and a Full Bathroom with Shower
Second Floor: Queen Bedroom with Attached Full Bath with Tub
Second Floor: 2 Sets of Twin Over Twin Bunk Beds

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. Completely remodeled and modern, this home combines the charm of its prime location with all the conveniences of contemporary living. 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
Within a two-hour drive from Chicago O'Hare, Kosh Kottage is the perfect escape from the city. Explore the local area with its charming restaurants accessible by boat or car, winery tours, and fantastic shopping.
This home, with all new furnishings, is managed by Manage Cabins, LLC, ensuring a seamless and comfortable stay. Book your stay at Kosh Kottage today and experience the best of lake life!
