A beautiful place overlooking Stratton Lake which was so clear! We fished off the dock and saw some amazing fish reeled in as we enjoyed our dinner on deck. We made a GREAT choice coming here!

We loved the separation of space. One of our group fell ill but we were able to keep everyone else healthy and happy with some judicious use of masks and thanks to the layout and the homey outdoor spaces. The screened in porch is the best spot for dining, reading, visiting, or just gazing at the peaceful lake. A wonderful visit, even with the blips.

Very nice location with beautiful lake. Fireplace, downstairs toilet, and TV did not work. Hostess fixed the TV and thermostat. It would be nice to have instructions for how to operate the smart thermostat, because we needed heat for most of our stay.

Wisconsin weather is unpredictable- one week 80 and the next 50. Unfortunately, our guests hit the cold spell. We have a NEST thermostat that they needed help operating. The first morning of their stay we went to the cottage and demonstrated how to adjust the thermostat. During that trip, we replaced the batteries in the tv remote with batteries from a kitchen drawer and heard about a non functioning toilet that had been resolved before our arrival. We addressed their concerns. This was the first renter to want to use the fireplace. We will add directions to our guidebook. The guests left the cottage very clean and were kind when we interacted. Wish we could have influenced Wisconsin fall weather to improve their stay!
