About this house rental

Spacious dog-friendly private home on the north shore of Dam Lake with amazing sunrises, sunsets, fishing, and more

--3,500 square feet designed for gathering/socializing *and separating/recharging

--Two dogs (no other pets) may be allowed upon express consent of Owner

--Sleeping room for up to 13 guests

--5 updated bedrooms

--3 new full bathrooms

--New and updated amenities - forced air heating, air conditioning, washer/dryer, stove/range, refrigerator, sink, furnishings, beds and bedding, flooring, trim, sliding glass doors and more

--Lower level game room with second TV area

--Very accessible to Bear Paw Resort & Campground, Maplewood Resort, and lots of camps! (Woodland, Towering Pines, and Chippewa are the closest)

--Dam Lake is the largest of the 5-lake Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes, which is surrounded by the American Legion State Forest. The chain is known for its undeveloped shorelines and fantastic fishing with abundant populations of walleye, northern pike, small mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and perch. You can explore 2,300 navigable acres of water - or you can stay home and catch keepers right off the dock.

--In the winter there is snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. The Bo-Boen/Sugar Camp snowmobile trail crosses Dam Lake and provides access to hundreds of miles of groomed, well-marked trails right from your doorstep. The rest of the year enjoy the exceptional fishing, beautiful Northwoods forest, and bald eagles, osprey and loons along the chain.

--From Memorial Day to Labor Day each year, there is a weekly rental policy, Saturday to Saturday, with a three-night rental minimum the rest of the year. Shorter and longer rental periods may be available; please inquire.

--Rowboat with oars included; trolling motor and fishing/skiing boat available for rent.

--The lake frontage welcomes you to sandy bottom swimming, shallow enough for wading and deep enough at the raft for diving. The private dock has plenty of room for your boats - even with ours there.

--Great for a spring fishing trip, summer family vacation, fall getaway, or a fun-filled winter outing whether you're a solo traveler, extended family, or group of friends. There's something for everyone every season at Sprucewood - including convenient access to Eagle River, St. Germain, Minocqua, Rhinelander, and the UP.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sprucewood. We hope you find it very easy to get to and very hard to leave!

A+. Roomy, cozy and well equipped. Great Lake view and dock area. Steps down to Lake manageable, but fairly steep and a bit challenging for older folks or those with orthopedic issues.

Liz was great, very clear communication. The house was beautiful as was the view. We had not gotten together as a family for quite a while and this is a perfect place to do this. The house is very well stocked with everything that we needed and very, very clean, We enjoyed many days out on the deck as well as many family meals. The lake itself is beautiful, loons are my favorite bird, and I got to hear them every night. Fishing was also very good. We had a fish fry on our last night. I would highly recommend staying here.

The house was fantastic, great layout with thoughtful amenities for each guest. We spent a lot of time indoors due to the weather and couldn’t have asked for a better place to hang out, Make meals and Play games with the group.

This is our 2nd summer vacationing here. We love it! There’s plenty of space for everyone to gather together or spread out and peacefully do crafts, play games, and read books. Also, this year, they set up a swing and activity rope in the front yard. The kids loved it! The owners also added onto the pier so there’s a sitting space and more room to fish or just lounge and enjoy the beautiful view. The kitchen has all the items we need to make meals, which we appreciate since we cook most of the time. Such a peaceful home. We look forward to our next visit!

This was our 15th year going to the St. Germain area. We have a family of 12 (6 adults, 6 teens) and this was our first year staying at Sprucewood. We had stayed at a house in St. Germain for years but the owners retired and now live there permanently. We have been searching for the perfect house since then and we finally found it in Sprucewood! Not only is it a beautiful property, but the house was incredibly comfortable for all of our family members. This is the first year that EVERYONE had a comfortable place to sleep. We loved that there were king beds in 4 of the bedrooms. The four basement beds were perfect for our 4 teen boys. The whole family enjoyed the pool table and ping pong. One thing we loved is that we were supplied with fluffy shower towels! We had all of the amenities at Sprucewood! We spent a lot of time on the deck and taking walks around the lovely neighborhood. We were less than 10 mins from St. Germain so it was easy to get to the grocery store and shopping in Eagle River/Minocqua. Dam Lake is great! Not a lot of traffic and easy to get around. We found a few sandbars to hang out on with the kids. Liz was an amazing host. She was very responsive to our communication. Jason stopped by for a quick check-in and was able to promptly supply us with more toilet paper. Overall, this was one of our best trips and it was primarily due to the comforts of Sprucewood. We've already booked our next trip in 2024. We can't wait to go back!
