An amazing property. The photos don’t do it justice! Jimmy is a great host who truly cares about you enjoying his home. He took the time to meet us at check-in, show us around, give us instructions on how to use the hot tub, and provided a bunch of firewood for bonfires and inflatables/kayaks/life vests for the lake. I HIGHLY recommend!

You are totally right about my pictures being bad!…….. you can say it you won’t hurt my feelings! Ha! I think the real story is told by all my reviews and thank you for the wonderful review……. When you read something once or twice, that’s great but when you see it time and time again with each review, you know there’s something to it…….. I am so proud of my house and the way it serves as a backdrop for some wonderful memories with families and friends who come from all across this nation and really the world. Thanks for bringing your family and I hope to see you again in the future.

We have spent 4th of July long weekend in the house. The place was very comfortable, the house is gorgeously decorated, very spacy. The kitchen is big and very convenient to cook. Jim has provided everything we could possibly need for cooking and everything else. We have been kayaking, swimming (there were quite a few floating devices in the garage), walking around, visiting Fort Atkinson, checking local parks. The communication was excellent! Our team has really enjoyed weekend stay in and out! thank you Jim for being wonderful host!

Our group of 8 friends loved this house. It was beautiful, clean, and had all the necessities we could ask for and much much more. The bedrooms spacious and very clean. The house was decorated well and felt cozy. Kitchen was very well equipped and served us perfectly! Hot tub was like a cherry on the top of the cake! Highly recommend this house for a small group or family. We take this kind of vacation for at least ten years and this house is one of the best we ever stayed! Will definitely be back. Finally, the host was very responsive, polite, and helpful, thank you Jimmy!

I think you got a really great first “taste” of Lake Koskonong……..but there’s still so much more to explore…….. more bars and restaurants to go to next year. We’ll get you a pontoon boat that you can keep for your entire stay and you can have it at my pier overnight……… you can go up and down the north and south branch of the rock river about 7 miles each way…….Fun!…… almost all the lakefront bars and restaurants have outdoor stages and host live free entertainment, Thursday through Sunday during the summer months…… more fun!

First our host was very responsive and communicated relevant information in a timely manner. We thoroughly enjoyed holding our annual sibling reunion at this VRBO home. We enjoyed: the beautiful room decor with a variety of themes; morning coffee in the sunroom as we watched the sunrise; the firewood for bonfires in the evening; the large kitchen table for sharing meals and games; the hot tub for relaxing; the piano and ukulele for family sing alongs; and being able to charge our electric vehicle on site. All in all a terrific week for reconnecting with siblings.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Dovgin

Host profile image
I have been involved in Property Management, Hospitality Management and Real Estate all my life....if you stay at this gorgeous property you will not be disappointed.......I can not control the weather during your stay but I can and will try my hardest to make sure everything else is perfect! Please read my reviews - they will tell you a lot about the property and the type of host I am. I am proud of all my 5 star reviews! I do not believe in "Nickeling and Diming" people with a lot of fees.....for example the house is Professionally cleaned prior to each rental period. This is included in the fee you pay - not tacked on as a "Cleaning Fee". Why should Cleaning Be extra? You are paying for a clean house and from my reviews you can see you will be getting a very clean house. I appreciate the fact that my house has been the backdrop for wonderful family and friends occasions......from Birthdays to Anniversaries to Reunions.....some wonderful memories have been made at the house and that makes me so happy.

Why they chose this property

Definitely not your average rental......the past guests just love the house! Peaceful, quiet but yet plenty to do.......makes for a great vacation! Please read my reviews - I really take pride in providing this awesome property for all the families and friends to enjoy!

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like sitting in the Solarium with your favorite beverage and taking in the awesome lake views!....Wait...sitting on the pier in the early evening is so awesome too!
