We really enjoyed our long weekend. The location at the lake is amazing. The cabin is clean and cozy. The bunkhouse is very comfortable. We started our day with morning coffee on the dock watching the fish and bald eagle. Thank you for offering all the Watersport equipment (SUP, paddle boat, kayak). It was really fun.

Family Time in Waupaca

It was perfect for my husband and I and our Labs. Even the weather cooperated. Visited family during the day and relaxed at the lake with the dogs in the late afternoon and early evening. The lake is one of the cleanest I have been at in a long time. The cabin was comfortable and we slept great on the bed. We couldn’t have asked for more.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Caitlin Meighan

We welcome you to our little slice of paradise! Growing up on the lakes has had a profound impact on us. We have profound respect we have for the beauty of Wisconsin's clear freshwater lakes. Now we are able to share it with you! It's all about making memories that will last.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cottage the moment we saw it. The frontage is second to none with so many perks! Being only steps from the lake, the hard sandy bottom, the crystal clear water are a few things that we love.
