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, kayak, and 2 stand-up paddle boards included at no cost; 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!

This place is truly amazing!We stayed here with family, and the home has so much to offer. It’s in a perfect location—not too far from Minocqua and Eagle River, with beautiful hiking trails nearby.The lake is quiet and incredibly relaxing—everyone had an amazing time just hanging out on the dock, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Northwoods.This was our second Labor Day weekend in a row staying here, and we couldn’t be happier. Liz is an incredible host—kind, friendly, informative, and very quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay.If you're looking for a cozy, peaceful home in the Northwoods, do yourself a favor and check this place out. We absolutely love it and can’t wait to come back again!

Beautiful, comfortable home on the most relaxing lake. Spend a week there this August with our kids and in laws (and 4 legged family!) and we remarked several times how ideal everything was!

Another grand Sprucewood family vacation in the books! You can literally do it all here and we tried. Boating, kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, fishing, camp fires, morning coffee on the deck warmed by the sun….your only complaint will be that it goes by too fast! With all the warm touches and conveniences that get added each year, it truly does feel like a home away from home. All topped off by the awesome and uber responsive property management team of Chris & Jason. Hoping to get back again this winter because we are already home away from homesick! Thank you Liz and Jonathon!

This property has a lot to offer inside and out. Our 3-generation family greatly enjoyed meals at the large table on the outdoor deck, all the comfortable and spacious rooms of the house, the well appointed kitchen and bathrooms (showers were amazing), beautiful views of the lake from the house, the sitting area down at the dock, use of the row boat for fishing, fishing off the peer, and the kids had a great time playing and swimming in the water. Outside games of corn hole and crochet and evening fires in the well located fire pit were enjoyed by all. the owner's conscientious communication and avaiability of the property managers was an added plus to a very pleasant stay and experience.
