(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!

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. ##### Carol W.

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!

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.

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.

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. ##### SANDY L.

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!! ##### Tom M.

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! ##### Gregory W.

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! ##### Gregory W.

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! ##### Nicole W.

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! ##### Gregory W.

This was our second time staying at Sprucewood and once again, it did not disappoint. We are a family of 13 (6 adults and 7 teens ages 19, 19, 19, 18, 16, 15, and 13). The teens enjoyed the basement and pool table along with the board games. The adults loved the cozy living room and king beds. The pier is perfect! Great for hanging out and relaxing as well as handy for your boat. This time around we brought our 2 dogs and they had a blast. The house is perfect for a dog family. There’s a nice retractable gate on the deck so the dogs could hang out without people having to watch them. They loved the yard and enjoyed playing with the dog next door. The neighborhood is excellent for dog walking too! Overall, we enjoyed our second time at Sprucewood. It has everything a large family needs!! Liz is a wonderful host who was quick to respond. Chris was a really great property manager who took care of our needs quickly. I highly recommend this lovely home on beautiful Dam Lake! ##### Jamie W.
