Thank you so much, Jason! It means the world to us when guests come back year after year. It’s truly the highest compliment we can receive. We love knowing the Spruce House has become part of your Northwoods tradition, and we’re always working to make it even better for our returning guests.There’s something special about settling into a place that already feels familiar, and we’re honored to be that spot for you. You’re always welcome, and we love rolling out the red carpet for our “VIPs” who come back again and again!– Ronan & Dana
We had a very nice stay. The house is set up very nice as we have a handicapped son we travel with. It's nice for him to have his own bathroom and bedroom. I'm sure we'll be back again for more UTV Riding in the area.
We were in the area for our UTV trip, the location was great to get onto the trail. Ample parking, pictures are accurate of the spacious home. We enjoyed our stay.
From the owner: "Thank you for staying with us, Marla. We’re glad you found the location quiet and enjoyable, and it was our pleasure to accommodate your early check-in so you could make the most of your side-by-side riding. While we weren’t able to extend your stay due to a back-to-back reservation and a fully booked cleaning schedule, we appreciated your kind message when you left and are happy to hear you plan to return in the future.As always, we welcome feedback that helps us improve, and we are disappointed that you felt this wasn't a five-star experience. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again for a five-star stay."
From the owner:"Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to hit the trails right away with the early check-in. It was our pleasure to help make that happen! Sorry again for the TV remote confusion, but we love that you made the best of it with some good old-fashioned games.We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime for another Northwoods adventure!– Ronan & Dana"
My wife and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. The cabin is very nice and exceeded our expectations. We only needed one, but with three bedrooms it would be great for a family, group or couples getaway. Ronan was very responsive and helpful.
We loved the home, it was perfect for the five of us. The pool table and dart board were great additions to our weekend away. The open concept floor plan made visiting with each other that much easier also. The kitchen was stocked with all the things pwe needed for meals.
We had a small group of guys come up for weekend. Place was great! Awesome set up and plenty of room! Short little drive to jump on snowmobile worked out awesome
We had a great weekend stay. Would definitely plan another trip to Tranquil. Accomodations were top notch and even better was the conversations with Ronan. Very helpful with what trails to take and places to stop for a bite to eat. Thanks again for everything☺
Everything we wanted and more. Super people we rented from. I hope all my rentals are as nice.

Another Great Stay!!!
Ronan & Dana have a beautiful property! This is our second time staying here and it was fantastic. We truly loved all the new additions. Such a great couple to work with. Everything was spotless and organized with plenty of room. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying there again. The birds are so relaxing to watch and there were plenty to enjoy.
Beds are comfortable. The kitchen is large with a 42 x 80 inch center island. Great seating for 6 in the living room. We easily fit three trucks with trailers in the parking area and enough room to easily park our side by sides. It is well equipped with lots of spices. The cooking pots and pans were adequate but could use an update.

Thank you so much, John! We really appreciate the detailed review and are glad the Spruce House worked so well for your group. One of our favorite things about this property is its direct access to the trails. It makes it easy to head out riding right from the driveway, whether it’s UTVs in the summer or snowmobiles in the winter. It’s a big part of what makes the location special year-round.Thanks also for the helpful note about the cookware. We’re taking a look at upgrading the pots and pans to keep things as comfortable and well-equipped as possible for future guests.We’d love to have you back for another trail adventure any time of year!– Ronan & Dana

YET ANOTHER GREAT STAY
Yet another Great stay at the Spruce House, we absolutely love it here. Wonderful time with elderly parents, making new memories, no stairs, which made it so easy for them. My husband and I have stayed at a lot of properties and this one is one of the best! It was the cleanest place by far! Kitchen was well equipped, with an island and a big dining table for all of us to sit at. Communication was great, and they thought of all the extra details that made the stay a little extra special. We will definitely be back, love this place so much with the greatest owners Ronan & Dana.

From the owner: "Hi Beth, Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such a loyal guest at the Spruce House! We’re truly honored to be one of your favorite places to stay, and it’s wonderful to hear that your parents were able to enjoy the space comfortably. We take great pride in providing a clean, welcoming home and are so glad the extra touches made your stay feel special.
We’re grateful for guests like you and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!"
It is a great house with a nice set up for winding down after a day of snowmobiling. Located perfectly for easy main trail access and close enough to Birchwood for food. We had 2 hybrid 2 place trailers with full size trucks and were able to navigate the driveway just fine but anything longer might be challenging. Over-all we enjoyed our stay and will gladly stay here again if we're in the area.

Another Fantastic Stay
This house is by far the loveliest we've ever rented. The owners (Ronan & Dana) could not have been more welcoming and warm. The house was beautiful; the kitchen, a cook's dream, This is the fourth time we have rented this lovely home nestled in the beautiful neighborhood of Birchwood. The house is on a very quiet street, only five minutes from town. The deck is great for grilling. It has all amenities. Bird watching is great, and the owners are wonderful. Definitely returning next year.
