Cabin on the Lake Getaway

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and view was perfect. We enjoyed sitting by the water and watching our dog Rosie swim. Perfect getaway and we would return for sure. Our host was quick to respond to my questions. Quaint, quiet and gorgeous view!!!

Clean cabin

It was a perfect size for our family. Very clean for a quaint older cabin. If you are looking for that cabin up north feel, this is perfect. The pier was nice and the pontoon was a great option so we did not have to bring our boat. I would recommend.

Great lil lake cabin

Over all the stay was nice and relaxing. No issues. It could have been Cleaner, the fridge had build up in the bottom left corner and draw. The host was friendly and was available when needed. Nice location close to stores. The tv in the garage was big which was nice for watching the game.

Cozy escape

Enjoyed some time paddling on the lake, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Instead we played card games and hiked trails in Hartman’s Creek State Park. The location is perfect for enjoying the fun of the Waupaca Chain o’ Lakes. The only drawback for our 60+ age group was no bathroom in bunk house.

Another Great Stay

We went back for our second summer and loved it just as much - beautiful water, lots of amenities, comfy beds, and a convenient location. We highly recommended kayaking the upper chain and then coming back to swim and grill by the lake. Perfect.

Mold/mildew

My daughter is extremely allergic to mold/mildew. She had an attack the first nite in the bunkhouse. She tried to sleep in the bed in cottage. Not any better. The 3rd nite she slept on couch with a fan blowing on her. We checked out a nite early. All our clothes reeked of mildew when we got home.

Relaxing stay

This was our second stay at this cabin and we enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than the first. We had perfectly hot weather for lazy days floating in the lake. I really like that this lake has non-waterski hours. It’s fun to watch all the people take to the water, swim out to the shallow area or hop on their paddle boards. Would definitely stay again!

Great Lake House!

The stay was great - Caitlin was super responsive and even brought over some additional toys for our kids. Stratton Lake is wonderful and we had fun fishing, taking the paddle board out, and renting their pontoon boat. One thing to note - the house did not include toiletries or many cooking supplies (no spices, etc)- so something to bring with you.

Great Get-a-way!

My wife, our dog Lenny, and myself just needed a time to kick back on the lake. This get-a-way was perfect. Quiet, great sunsets, lake was perfect, even though it was mid September….the swimming was awesome! The bunkhouse for a few movies nights was fantastic. For us and what we needed, this was perfect!

Stratton Lake Cabin

We really enjoyed the beauty and quiet of Stratton Lake. It was a nice relaxing getaway. The water is sandy and clear. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The main cabin would be a bit crowded for more than two people but the bunkhouse is a really nice addition. I agree with previous reviews about the bathroom situation and the cabinets coming lose from the wall. But overall these are small items that would not affect a return trip for us. The outdoor gazebo is a really nice feature we used a lot as there really isn’t much of a dining table inside. For a small group this was the perfect amount of space.

Tough to beat this property

We loved our stay! The separate bunkhouse was so nice for our kids (we have 5), the water was absolutely beautiful, the neighborhood was very quiet, and the cabin was super clean. We especially loved the gentle slope to the lake and the fact that we could see the kids swimming and everyone fishing right from the cabin. I've searched a lot of properties, and this one checks all the boxes!

Pros and cons - cons first to get the bad news over with :) Cons: -main house is very rundown, not rustic, rundown. It seems neglected in there except for the decorating (which is great). -Everything needs an extremely deep cleaning; floors were filthy, our feet were black within minutes of arrival; lots of gunk gathered in corners and crevices -Kitchen cabinets giving away (starting to fall) from the ceiling -Most kitchen cabinet doors don’t close -Shower surround is old, moldy and gross; whole bathroom could use remodel -Sheets and towels were smelly so we washed everything our first night on “vacation” -My body is sore from sleeping on the pullout sofa, very uncomfortable -Garage door light flashed all night on last night in bunkhouse and nothing would turn it off; assuming something got in the way of the sensor? -No fridge (mini or standard size) in bunkhouse -Grill didn’t work except for a small flame on middle burner (lines were corroded and cracked) -Pontoon is also very rundown and dirty -Not a single person in our group of 5 could get the patio sliding door open -Pier could be dangerous for older or unsteady people; it is not level and has raised spots where someone could potentially trip Pros: -One of the better spots on the lake -Amazing view and sunsets -Well stocked rental -Washer and dryer -Lake water is clear and good for swimming, kayaking, etc -Pontoon runs nicely; motor seems newer -Decent fishing -Bunkhouse is nicely done and beds comfortable -Porch and bedroom are nicer compared to rest of main house -Communication with the owner was always great -Dog friendly We arrived a day late due to weather and left a day early due to the accommodations. The main house needs some love. New floors, new kitchen cabinets and a new shower surround. Basically what was done to the bunkhouse. And a VERY good cleaning. This place has so much potential! Overall, regardless of the cons, we enjoyed our time on the lake.

Great Place and Location

We really enjoyed our stay here - lots of updates including the awesome bunkhouse (out teenager loved it), but it still had the vintage charm of an up north cabin. It was well stocked and comfortable, with an amazing view from the living room. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed swimming all day and paddling around in the evening. Many places to sit and gather outside. The location is close to the chain and Hartman Creek State Park. Plenty to do, but away from crowds and noise. Highly recommended!

Beautiful, peaceful lake!

We enjoyed our trip, here are the pros and cons! The pros first--The lake is small, calm, quiet and beautiful. Lots of nice shade, nice clear clean lake. Great for kids to swim in.They have paddle boards and lots of toys and floaties the kids loved to play with. Kids caught small fish off dock. The bunkhouse was nice, a/c there was great. Screen tent with large table next to cabin nice to eat in, as no real kitchen table. Lots of outside chairs to sit on. The cons-- Both cabin and bunk house was not cleaned well at all, but the owner was very quick to respond and did compensate for it. The bathroom is in great need for a total redo, the shower/tub did not drain well and by the end of the week it did not drain at all. Owner did respond quickly and offered for someone to come out to check it. The tub surrounds also need Help!! WE did enjoy our time there but I go alot on reviews when I book a place so I just wanted to be honest.

Peaceful, Beautiful & Family Fun Vacay

My family of 5 stayed at this property June 16, 2021 until June 23, 2021. The lake is a hidden gem. Beautiful blue hues through out the day. Depending on the sun's position the lake color resembles the Caribbean, seriously it did! Only saw a few ski boats during our stay, the lake was mostly peaceful. The SUP boards were AWESOME!! My 70 year old mom hopped on one the first day and looked like a pro! The raft was great bonus for us as my teen and 8 year old love jumping into water. My husband & 8 year old had a blast fishing from the pier! They only caught pan fish, and a 7 inch bass which were all released. There was an elusive 18(?) inch Bass they tried hard to catch but he was not having it. The neighbors were only around a few times. We felt very safe & remote even though you could see the neighboring cabins. The bunk house was very fun for my kids, husband, dogs, & me. It had a water cooler, games, flashlights, an inter-com to the main cabin, & huge tv, which was great on rainy nights we watched a movie or the Bucks game. I was concerned about only having one bathroom for 5 people but it worked out fine. The main cabin was cozy, beautifully decorated, & had an amazing view of the lake from the main area and 3 season porch. Another bonus were the washer and dryer. The owner was very responsive to questions I had. She was always pleasant and professional. We will be back! Thank you Caitlin for sharing your cabin, it is greatly appreciated!
