4 Bedroom House in Fort Atkinson

The Bungalow is your family and friends' getaway! It sits on the shores of the charming Rock River, a few paddles away from the scenic Bark River, and a meandering boat ride to the 10,000 acre Lake Koshkonong. Are you ready to feel relaxed…carefree…and rejuvenated?
Our 3,000 sq ft waterfront escape...where you can sit by the fire pit, kayak, canoe, bike, fish, play in game room, swing on the playset, or unwind in the Eagle's Nest Lodge...close to the heart of all the activities which Fort Atkinson has to offer.
As stated by one of our past guests: "All I can say is, 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...then this is the place for you and about 11 of your friends! 3,000 sq ft of perfection on the river, near a huge lake right around the river bend. Treat yourself. We did. Twila and Robert we love you :)"
As stated by Twila and Robert: “We strive to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and welcomed in our Bungalow...guests from around the world, diverse races, faiths, and genders.”

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. Paddy Shack has two golf simulators.The Fort Atkinson Aquatic Center has a pool, tennis courts, basketball court, archery range, and an obstacle course. Want to go bowling or play miniature golf, then venture into town. Trek through the Dorothy Carnes County Park for fun hiking, picnicking, and bird watching. 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. The neighborhood is well established, family-oriented, safe, and laid back. The perfect place to relax with family and friends while you make lifetime memories!

Summary: We could not have asked for a better experience. Everything was as described. The Eagles Nest and Lodge were so much fun and so well-appointed; they've thought of everything. There was more than enough of everything supplied and all was conveniently marked. Communication with Twila was excellent and prompt. The kids were 11-18 and were occupied (or snoozing) the whole time. The river was beautiful and we did just about everything: hiking, kayaking, biking, campfire and s'mores, grilling, ping pong, air hockey, darts and lots of board games. Some of the bikes were too small and most needed air in the tires (but there was a fabulous bike pump!), but that's the only thing we would have changed. Saw lots of shore birds and the morning mist on the river was magical.
