~ 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!

    We had an absolutely incredible stay here while coming to town to snowmobile. The house was extremely comfortable and easily had enough space for our 13 person group. The kitchen space was well equipped and the adjoining dining room made it such a fun place to cook and hang out. The guys absolutely loved the pool table downstairs! It’s super easy to get to snowmobile rental shops and you there are some cute restaurants/bars nearby.The only thing we regretted is not staying much longer!!

    A relaxing winter escape to Sprucewood! Awesome to see the north woods snow covered and back in business again. Great base for snowmobile trails with groomers out in force. Couldn’t ask for better family time in such a comfortable and well stocked place. Sprucewood never disappoints and we are so happy to be able to enjoy it in the summer and winter! Only complaint is it goes by too fast.

    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!

    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.

    This is our fifth year enjoying our family vacation at Sprucewood. Each year we look for something new that has been added for our enjoyment. And we are never disappointed! We enjoyed some beautiful days on the lake, and had fun with games and puzzles on a couple rainy days. We are already looking forward to next year.

    We had a group of girls and this property was perfect for us. Plenty of space to take time away from the group, all relax on the deck, or hang out in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could have needed. Liz gave us great suggestions for dinner in town and was a pleasure to speak with. Had a wonderful time by all! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

    This was our third winter trip to Sprucewood and it was probably our best so far. Not much snow but plenty of cold for safe thick ice on the lake for skating. Snowmobilers and ice fishermen were enjoying too! It was so nice enjoying the outdoors and then being able to retreat to the warm comfort of the house. Just a great family time trip that came and went much too fast. Can’t wait to get back!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Liz and Jon's property! The home was spacious, clean and had every amenity you might need. The pier was large enough for all of us to sit, relax and fish (we caught many!) and we loved visiting the surrounding towns for shopping and having a drink at local breweries. Our puppy loved sniffing around the backyard and laying on the dock with us. Also, the hosts were always responsive leading up to and during the trip. We definitely want to come back in the future!

    We had a great time at the cabin. We really enjoyed the big deck, which had a gate for our dogs, the bonfire pit, and the dock was very, very nice! Loved sitting out on the dock at night and looking up at the stars. Tons of bedrooms and space for our family and friends. The host was amazing at communicating. We had one small issue and she remedied it immediately and checked back in on us, which we appreciated very much. Overall it was a great stay.

    The layout of Sprucewood was perfect for our 5 family groups totalling 13, plus 2 dogs. Our favorites - paddleboards; outdoor pingpong; privacy of bathrooms; good sized bedrooms; lots of parking; big dock with rug and comfy chairs; sturdy, well-lit stairs to the lake; separate common areas (kids loved the basement and living room with games, adults liked hanging in the kitchen and deck) but large enough for all of us; yard space to play; deck with gate for the little boys and dogs, well, the big dog (the little dog jumped through the spindles to get the chipmunk.) Weather was great and we had a wonderful time! Thank you!!

    Our extended family group had a great week at this comfortable home! Nice to have so many king beds available. The kitchen was well-equipped and the living spaces comfortable. The dock area was really nice and spacious for hanging out-- although potential renters should be aware that there are steep steps between house and dock. We enjoyed the fire pit and other outdoor hangout spots. The location in St. Germain is central to lots of great activities and nearby towns. The hosts and caretakers are helpful and communicative. All in all a great find!

    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.

    Another stellar summer vacation at Sprucewood with family. So nice to enjoy all the access to nature at your doorstep and then be able to retreat to the creature comforts of the beautiful home away from home. We fished, swam, kayaked, hiked, paddle boarded, roller bladed, road bikes and took some long boat rides through the Sugar Camp Chain. The evenings were filled with puzzling, campfires and movie nights. The only downside you will encounter is having to leave on check out day. Already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you Liz and Jonathan for sharing your little slice of heaven in the northwoods!
