Fort Atkinson is one of those small towns in Iowa that just seems to be in the middle of nowhere and yet in the middle of it all. It’s a tiny place, with a population of only about 300, but it’s rich in history and has a unique culture that makes it well worth a visit. It might be quite a drive at the very north of Iowa, not far from the border – which is why it’s great that there’s such a unique place to stay near the town! The best cabin rental in Fort Atkinson, Iowa is the Wild Rose Road Cabin, a rustic lakeside getaway packed with comfort and surrounded by beautiful nature. You could easily spend a fun staycation here – but you’ll want to get out and explore the town, particularly it’s nearby historic preserve and a popular local bar and grill! We think it’s one of the best cabins in Iowa.

As you drive up the road, the stunning view that awaits you from Wild Rose Cabin is breathtaking.
