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
THE LAKE:
The home is situated on the shores of Dam Lake, which is one of the largest and deepest lakes in the area, spanning over 730 acres.
You will have private access to the lake through our brand-new 32ft. dock.
The lake is home to a variety of fish species, including musky (Class A musky lake), all panfish, pike and bass, making it a popular fishing destination. The lake also has a public boat launch, just 2.8 miles down the road from us.
The Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes includes five interconnected lakes that offer endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. With over 2,300 acres of water, you can spend your days kayaking or canoeing along the tranquil waters, or take a pontoon boat ride and explore the scenic shoreline. The Sugar Camp chain is surrounded by the American Legion State Forest, with minimal shoreline development, which makes our location truly peaceful.
Dam Lake is also at the convergence of several of the snowmobile trails that cross the area around Eagle River – the “Snowmobile Capital of the World.”
THE HOME:
The home itself is a modern and comfortable retreat that is perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends. 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 cozy den, where you or the kids can hang out and watch movies, play foosball or 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 peaceful and awe-inspiring 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!
Rent a boat from one of the local powersports companies or bring your boat for the week.
Whether it's a summer Northwoods family vacation, a fall getaway to hike and see the 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!
**The house comfortably sleeps eight, but can fit up to ten people (and a baby!) We are happy to host all ten, but keep in mind it'll be a little bit cozier.
*Parking: There is space for four average sized-vehicles in the driveway (or three vehicles and a trailer). Please contact us for details if you need additional parking for cars or trailers.
*Please note there is no automatic dishwasher in the kitchen. When the days are packed with activities, we will often use paper plates! ;)
**Security camera disclosure: there is a Ring doorbell in place at the porch by the front door, which keeps ongoing video and audio recording of the exterior entrance area.
