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.

Absolutely fabulous home!! Can’t wait to return!!

The property was very nice and clean upon arrival. We had a wonderful time during our stay and were glad that we chose Sprucewood. It definitely worked well for our family.

Wonderful space for all ages to enjoy

This was our second winter trip to Sprucewood and it did not disappoint! We were looking to escape for some uninterrupted family time and it worked out great. From being greeted by a large warmly lit holiday wreath over the garage as we pulled in just after dark on our first evening to the first dusting of snow of the new year on our check out day, it was the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Every time we come to Sprucewood there are new welcome surprises. From small decorative changes to functional improvements (love the new gate to help keep our 4 legged friend from wandering off the deck by herself), you can tell the Kunkles are all in and take care of the place! We had some great family time in the warm well stocked house with all the creature comforts you could ask for. Hoping to make a winter trip to Sprucewood part of our regular plans!

Our “happy place” and the place we envision when “daily life” pushes us to our limits. We have been staying in this home since May of 1987….and this home is “the epitome of vacation and relaxation” for us….and the current “owners/hosts” have brought life back to the property with many new amenities….

We had a great time! The house was spacious and the warm Labor Day weekend gave us lots of lake time. Thank you. We hope to return next season.

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!

The years keep flying by for us but we are so thankful for our Sprucewood vacations. Another amazing visit to Sprucewood to add to our treasure chest of family memories! If you are looking for a place where all you need to add for a good time are your friends and family, this is it! The accommodations, amenities and location are first rate and each year it seems to get a little better. We loved the extra pier space this year and the little extra touches that you will find will make you feel like it is a home away from home. Already looking forward to our next visit, just wish we freeze time to get there!

This house was really perfect. They had so many small details (a million games, step stools, and fresh herb plants), and everyone in my group from the 70 year olds to the babies enjoyed it. The house is very family friendly with a great basement that is accessed by a door so you don't need to be scared of your child falling down the stairs. There are quite a bit of stairs going down to the dock but it was very doable to carry kids and a bag down them without too much effort. However, there is a nice public dock a few minutes away if the stairs are too much for someone to get on a boat. The little kids all enjoyed the sandy bottom of the water and we could have spent all day enjoying the water and dock (if the weather was better). I also met the housekeeper very randomly and she was SO nice. The quality of the outdoor furniture was superb. They had nice covers over them so we could keep them dry and clean and they were probably my favorite part.

Family members of every age enjoyed your beautiful, well furnished home and outdoor areas. So many outdoor games, such as bags and ping pong, and indoor games such as pool and board games are available. There is a space for everyone, whatever they choose to do! We especially appreciated the addition to the pier. How nice to have room for all of us to fish and enjoy the water activities. Our family is already planning for next year!

Beautiful lake, roomy house for family, loved being able to bring our little dog:)

Always enjoy our time at Sprucewood….when we leave at the end of our stay we do so anticipating our return…this was our 35th May at Sprucewood!

For the last 5 years we have been doing a snowmobile trip to Eagle River tho we never had a bad experience.. This rental is definitely #1 plenty of space for a group of 9.. everything listed on this property is there.. very very clean with a cute Decor. The beds were very comfortable (makes life so much easier) We are definitely booking here again.. maybe even summer since the property sits on the lake.. Liz & Jason were very easy to communicate with 10 stars..

This property was everything they stated and more, very well stocked with appliances, linens and plenty of games. Very spacious for 11 people. We had 2 - 4 place trailers with tow vehicles, a 2 place trailer with tow vehicle and two single vehicles, parking was no issue. Getting to the trail was about 1 mile down the road and gas was only about 10 min down the trail. Very peaceful neighborhood only a few cars passed the house all week. Definitely would book again.

Accommodations were perfect for our stay. Little features that made it stand out were the heated bathroom floors, the fireplace, Sonos sound system, and steam breathing dragon above fireplace.

House was great and well stocked with all the necessities. Host was very helpful and responsive. Relatively close ride to the trails and plenty of room to relax and unwind after a day of riding.

After a hectic but fun holiday season we were looking to relax and recharge. Sprucewood did not disappoint! Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the quiet splendor of winter. The house is warm and cozy with all the creature comforts you could ask for. The location is perfect with easy access to restaurants and activities. We even cleared a spot on the ice for a little impromptu pond hockey! It was fun seeing all the snowmobiles in the area and while we did not run sleds this trip, it is good to know there is plenty of space to trailer and park them at Sprucewood plus it is great to have a property manager like Jason who is so knowledgeable about sleds if you do run into any mechanical issues. Already looking forward to our next visit to Sprucewood!

We enjoyed EVERYTHING about this house. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience at this property for our annual Thanksgiving gathering. The house was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful view of Dam Lake. I highly recommend this property for a larger group of people. It was awesome!

As always Sprucewood had us relaxed and enjoying our vacation!

It was incredible from the 1st day I inquired about the property sevl mos so until the day we left. There were 9 of us, good friends for YEARS, ranging from 75-85 years old. Weather was great; beautiful home/ layout; enjoyed the fire pit, local pics, shopping in Minoqua. And Jason, the property Mgr is just THE GREATEST. We had SUCH a great time, and took sooo many wonderful memories & fun stories with us. Such a wonderful find.

This lake home was perfect for our group, and would be awesome for a large family stay! We appreciated the 3 king beds on main floor with a bathroom for each couple. We were in the area to motorcycle so didn't get to enjoy the lake as we were mostly at the home in the evening and to sleep. The home was very comfortable for visiting, playing cards and watching TV/ football in the evening. Well stocked home for rental, beds were comfortable, very nice appliances, very clean and nicely decorated, great showers/bathrooms. Furniture on deck is very nice and comfortable. Easy convenient location close to St Germain for shopping/supplies. Liz was great to work with, tolerated all my questions especially prior to the trip, since we were on motorcycles & traveling light🙂 This group rents a home in the area every year and this was definitely one of the best! Would love to spend more time enjoying the lake sometime. Thanks for sharing your lake home!

The place is amazing. Hands down. Plenty of space for kids and adults alike. Place was clean. Felt right at home and essentially began instantly enjoying lake life. The 4! King beds made it easy to share with other adults and maintain privacy The location is convenient to both Eagle River and St. Germain for easy gas tank refilling. Dam Lake is a beautiful lake and a great size to fish or do water sports or just put around the lake.

The cottage was great, the house was beautiful. The only negative was that the property manager was suppose to show up when we arrived and we never saw anyone. The listing offered a weber grill which we planned on using and said one bag of charcoal would be supplied, and we were only supplied a small handful of charcoal in the bag that was there. But other than that it was a great place to relax with family but we needed more days than the three days we had. But I would highly recommend this cottage and the host was really nice.

Our family (kids, teen, adults) just loved our time at Sprucewood! The kitchen has what you need. The house is clean. There’s plenty of space for everyone to congregate or peacefully relax. Also the property manager was easy to get ahold of and helped us with a couple of questions we had. Best of all the lake is wonderful for swimming, boating and fishing. We hope to be back!

We returned to Dam Lake for our yearly extended family vacation. Sprucewood was a fantastic spot and had so much room for our 10 people to spread out, have plenty of room, and have a wonderful time. The kitchen is well stocked, the stove/range was wonderful, and showers were gorgeous and spa-like, and the bath towels were fluffy and obviously new. The TV/living room and DVD selection was great for our 3 kiddos when they needed a break from all the swimming. Wi-Fi on site came in handy for the people who had a few work zoom calls to do. There was plenty of parking for our 4 cars and 2 boat trailers. The outdoor space was fun and private. It's a few steps down to the lake, but my kiddos loved playing under the big birch tree that overhung the lake, and we had room for a our boat and two jetskis. Liz is a great hostess and answered my questions promptly! We had a wonderful time!

Another great stay at our favorite lake house! So much remodeling has been done since our early stays with the previous owners, any discriminating renter would immediately recognize the value they are getting. From the appliances, to the bathroom design/amenities to the well appointed bedrooms, you will not be wanting for anything. You can see the eye for detail, even the pine framing in the basement gives the whole level a modern/refined look. The tasteful/whimsical decorating with the family touches makes you feel like you are a guest in someones house. Taking a walk through you just get the feel that the Kunkles are a close knit fun loving family. Anyone who enjoys a Michael Bedard has gotta be aces. In my opinion, the house has it all and it doesn’t stop there, a few steps down to the lake and you have access to amazing south facing frontage. Already looking forward to our next stay! Warm regards, Greg & Gayle

Beautiful home and views. Perfect location to stores if needed something. The only thing that was a little concerning was when we called Jason about what to do with the boat keys and tube we had left a message and we were gone for the day and he never gave us a call back but when we got back to the house we noticed the keys were gone I just wish he would’ve called and let us known that he was going into the house we had no idea that he was there picking up the keys when we were not there and that was a little concerning feeling it was a little invasion of our privacy, but otherwise great time.

We love everything about Sprucewood! The vacation home provides space for all to be together, and also areas for small groups to "do their own thing!" The bedrooms are so large! The game room was used every evening and on rainy days. We loved the little extras like the bags game, the outdoor pingpong, the supply of indoor games and more. It is obvious that the owners love this place and do all they can to make it beautiful and comfortable for their guests.

the stairs down to Pier and the pier it's self were unstable enough to keep the grandma"s and great aunt from using them.
