About this property

Tranquil Lakefront Gem: Full-Rec 732 Acre Lake, A/C, Private Dock, Canoe, Kayaks

Welcome to the Green Canoe!

Our lakefront home is tucked right at the shore with stunning southern exposure, sandy water frontage and spectacular views all around. We designed the space with the quintessential Northwoods feel in mind while keeping it a modern and comfortable family-friendly experience.

It's the perfect peaceful Northwoods setting in a modern home while still being centrally located.
You are only:

● 10-15 min to St. Germain & Eagle River
● 25-30 min to Rhinelander & Minocqua

**IMPORTANT: During peak summer Season (June-August), we maintain a 7 night minimum booking requirement (FRIDAY-FRIDAY)

We designed the space with the quintessential Northwoods feel in mind while keeping it a modern and comfortable family-friendly experience.

THE LAKE:

At 732 acres with a maximum depth of 32 feet, Dam Lake is the largest and deepest of the five lakes that make up the Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes, which includes a total of 2,300 acres of water all navigable by boat. The outflow of the Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes is into Rainbow Flowage, which is accessible by canoe or kayak from Dam Lake. The chain is surrounded by the American Legion State Forest, with minimal shoreline development, which makes our location truly peaceful.

Dam Lake is at the convergence of several of the snowmobile trails that cross the area around Eagle River – the “Snowmobile Capital of the World.”

Species found in the lake include:
Musky (Class A Musky Lake)
Crappie
Northern Pike
Walleye
Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass

Enjoy private use of the brand-new 32ft dock, and the public boat launch is on the lake, just 2.8 miles away.

THE HOME:

Walk into the open-concept main level with cathedral ceilings and a breathtaking, south-facing lakeside wall of windows that blanket everything with natural light. There are 180 degrees of lake views to enjoy while lounging on the deep sectional, sharing a meal at the dining table, or brewing your morning cup in our fully-equipped kitchen. A bedroom with a queen bed (new memory foam mattresses on every bed), and a full bathroom with shower/bathtub are also part of the main level.

Come upstairs to our favorite room in the house: The loft! We have made this space with kids in mind, but honestly, we love it just as much! There are two sets of twin trundle beds (up to 4 single beds), and a half-bath up in the loft level.

Head downstairs to the lower level family room, where you or the kids can hang out and watch movies, play foosball or have an old-school game on the vintage Nintendo 64 (the nostalgia sold us on this one!). A cozy third bedroom (queen bed& 14" memory foam mattress), and a third bathroom with walk-in shower are also here in the lower level. The laundry room is downstairs for your use, as well (along with free-and-clear detergent).

Outside: right through the dining room doors await the amazing Northwoods and stunning views of Dam Lake. Drink your morning coffee by the dock and watch the sunrise (my favorite!) or gather by the campfire at night and watch the millions of stars above you. Take the kayaks or canoe out on the lake or catch fish right from the dock!

Whether it's a family summer Northwoods vacation,, a fall getaway to see the stunning colors, or a winter trip for skiing, snowmobiling, or ice fishing with friends, there is so much to enjoy year round, all while being just a short drive to all that Eagle River, Saint Germain, Rhinelander and Minocqua have to offer.

We hope you enjoy your time here at our lake house and that you make many wonderful memories with your loved ones. Thank you for choosing us as your vacation destination up North and we look forward to your stay!

Awesome time
We had an awesome time at this property! It had everything we needed in a new clean house. The views where great and the dock had enough room for all of our toys we brought up. Also enough parking for 2 vehicles and 2 trailers.The lake was also very nice with a pair of bold eagles over head and otters swimming past the dock. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. Great place and owners.

Amazing views!!
We stayed here with 2 kids and in-laws- it was an amazing week. All the extra little touches were so nice - everything was so clean! The beds were very comfortable, and the kids loved the little attic nook to hide out in. The new dock was great too. The area was very safe as well. We can’t wait to some back. The owner was also very responsive.

Where to start! This was an amazing vacation, and it was only made possible with the great accommodations and wonderful communication we had with our hosts. They responded right away and addressed any concerns and questions we had speedily. The place was organized, neat, and very clean. Everything was SUPER comfy - from the couch to the beds - including the quilts and pillows - AMAZING! Our kids so enjoyed their loft space, being able to go up and play but still see us and talk to us at the same time while we cooked etc downstairs. They had fun games for kids and adults, great dvd library, and great books as well. The outdoor was well stocked with kayaks, life jackets for various ages/fit, and picnic table for kids and adults. We would 100% come back, this location and cabin undoubtedly contributed to what we now feel was our best up north experience so far. Anyone coming up with small children be aware there is a steep hill in the back leading down to the dock. Thank you for our wonderful hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Wu

Host profile image
Hi! We're Debbie & Joe. We’re a military family with five amazing kids! We are so grateful that the Northwoods gets to be part of their childhood. Joe grew up spending his summers here as a boy and we love that we get to pass that magic along to them, and share it with so many other families, as well. We named our place The Green Canoe after a very special storybook that I found at a thrift years ago, titled “Tomorrow on Rocky Pond” by Lynn Reiser (you can find it in the cabin library!). It’s a sweet story about a growing family who visits the same cabin and lake every year. It is full of all the wonderful things that make us love the Northwoods: the fishing, the loons, the berries, the deer in the woods, and a little green canoe! We have read this book with the kids countless times, always dreaming of the Wisconsin Northwoods with every page. All the illustrations are engraved in our minds, so when we bought the house and found our own green canoe, we knew it was perfect. We hope you love your time here as much as we do, and that you make many lasting memories with your loved ones.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property for the stunning views, the peaceful location, and the amazing lake that it sits on! The fact that the home is so newly built gave us peace of mind knowing it will be a really comfortable family experience for us and our guests.

What makes this property unique

Dam Lake is a large full-rec lake without being too crowded. The property has a peaceful feel while still being just minutes to all that Eagle River, Saint Germain, Rhinelander and Minocqua have to offer. The house is equipped with all the amenities of home, and so many thoughtful details that will make this a perfect and comfortable getaway for the whole family.
