very nice place

We stayed in the fall for our annual grouse hunting trip. The place really works well for our group as we hunt down the road. It has everything you need. Getting a hold of the property manager is easy. It has a Keurig and a coffee maker and a nice gas fireplace.

Relaxing!

Great location for our family and our two dogs! The neighborhood was quiet, house is right on the water and the lake worked great for swimming, tubing, and fishing. Kitchen was very nice and well stocked with a great view of the lake. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked out great for our two teens, and gave everyone adequate room and privacy when needed. TV and internet was nice for when it rained out and the Dry Dock was perfect for a couple board games on the gloomy days. Owner was responsive and got back to me quickly with questions and concerns. For those of you bringing boats, I was able to dock our 18' aluminum Lund on the house dock for the week. I let the owner know the tie downs need some TLC but I was able to tie directly to the dock without any issue. House was dog friendly; we had room for our kennels (we have two labs) and the bags the owner provides for cleanup worked great. Water entry was dog friendly and they were able to get numerous swims everyday. With the firepit right by the lake, they'd go swimming then we'd relax with a fire and some beverages while they dried off. Lake activity was reasonable; quiet in the morning before 10am typically and after 6pm. Everyone that was tubing, boating, etc...was respectful and gave everyone room regardless of what we were doing (tubing or fishing). Public boat landing was about a mile away and was in good shape.

Lovely Lake Property

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake home! You absolutely cannot beat the view, and so close to the water. The pictures don’t do it justice, as the decor, kitchen and rest of the house are very tastefully done. Beds are very comfy, and bathroom with washer/dryer is super nice. The lake itself is clean and we were even able to float off the dock. Neighbors very friendly and overall just a great stay. Make sure to go to the resort for some cocktails and apps—great food and service, and nice people.

Exactly what we needed

The property was great for our annual fishing trip. Modern upgrades but still felt like a Northwoods cabin. The View of the lake was incredible and the dock worked well for us. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Gary C Pitlik

I was raised just 2 miles down the road and lived here until college. Growing up on this Chain of Lakes was incredible. We spent countless hours camping, fishing, swimming, boating, ice-fishing and counting shooting stars. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up as a kid on this Chain of Lakes, it has always been my dream to once again live on this chain. I purchased a home just minutes away 5 years ago so I wasn't looking to move, however, I couldn't pass this cabin up when it came up for sale. Being able to share the beauty of Dam Lake and the Sugar Camp Chain with visitors to the northwoods is the reason I purchased this home. Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

I always like to refer our Chain of Lakes to visitors as the "Northern Everglades". No gators, however, once you tour the 5 lakes by boat you'd know what I mean. Seventy Five percent of our twenty-five plus miles of shoreline are owned by the State of Wisconsin, thus keeping many acres of shoreline in its natural wilderness state. Sizes of our lakes range from the smallest of 107 acres to the largest of 744 acres, all connected with hundreds of acres of winding thoroughfares. Lake depths range up to 40’ deep. Our lakes are spring and wetland fed with various creeks. Our chain of lakes eventually runs into the Rainbow Flowage at the dam on Dam Lake and on into the Wisconsin River and exits at the Gulf of Mexico. If you visit during the spring/summer/fall seasons, I urge you to take a tour of the chain. Absolutely stunning.
