Stratton Lake is a full recreation lake surrounded by tall pines.

Enjoy your days in the sun boating, skiing, fishing, tubing, paddle boarding and swimming from your dock. End your day with the most beautiful sunsets from across the lake. Camp fires, star gazing and s'mores will highlight your night. This rare sandy bottom and gradual drop off is great for young children to play or for adults who enjoy sitting in the water with a cold beverage. The main cabin is 800 SQ feet that includes a large bathroom, main bedroom, living room, pull out queen couch, kitchen, and a porch that features an indoor grill.

Relaxing Vacation

Our vacation to the Dream Catcher was very relaxing. The location was great for walking our dogs and enjoying the lake. We hope to return next summer for another stay.

Very nice, well decorated cottage on the lake. Great for kids. Shallow water walk in. Everything was provided. Extra bunkhouse was so nice. Paddles boats were a plus. Going back next year!

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!

A Nostalgic Getaway

This true Up North Wisconsin property was the perfect getaway. It reminded me of my childhood going to a family cabin on another lake in Waupaca. We had gorgeous weather everyday which provided ample time for swimming, paddling and fishing. Every night ended with a gorgeous sunset. The main cabin was rustic. It had just enough space for cooking and relaxing. The garage bunk house was perfectly updated and comfortable for our family of five. We can't wait to stay here again!

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.

Working vacation so relaxing

We rented the cottage to be near our son who lives in Wisconsin! What a great place to stay, all the necessities needed to cook at the cabin including outside grill. Caitlin was so great at getting back to us quickly with any questions we had. We were able to work at my son’s farm all day then come back to relax and enjoy the beautiful clear lake and the gorgeous sunsets. We plan on returning this fall for the birth of our grandson and wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else but here!! The bunkhouse was like having a second cabin my family loved it.

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.

Great Place to Stay

We had a wonderful time. This property was very clean and nice. The bunk room was great for additional room and was very comfortable. The lake front was nice and sandy to walk into. We rented the pantoon boat, which was a nice addition to our stay. If you rent the pantoon from these owners or bring your own boat, make sure you know the no wake hours as the neighbor will come out and "scold" you! ;) We made one little boo boo on the hours. I'm used to larger lakes that don't have such restrictions. Great all the way around though! Thank you!!!

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.

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.

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.
