About this property

New Lakefront Log Home

This new lakefront cedar log cabin is available the rental season! Minutes away from Mount Snow and Stratton, winter activities include: skiing, ice skating and ice fishing. Also 2 miles from the center of Wilmington.

The property has 160 ft of water frontage on Spruce Lake. Fish for brook trout in this privately stocked lake. Take our 2 canoes, 2 kayaks and paddle board out on the lake for a fishing or site-seeing trip. Swim from our private beach or canoe to a shared beach at the end of the lake. Fall asleep to the sound of the brook running just outside the cabin!

This is the perfect family vacation. The lake does not allow motor boats and the lake frontage has a shallow sandy entry.


Wildlife abound!: The lake, brook and surrounding woods provide a perfect wildlife habitat.

This year we've seen: moose, black bear, deer, heron, beaver, otter, geese, ducks. The family of ducks ask to be fed at least twice a day. Moose tracks have been seen on our beach. And a pair of black bear are well known to the area (keep the trash cans lids latched!).

The brook has brook trout, frogs, turtles and crayfish. And of course the lake is loaded with perch, brook trout, rock bass, and mud puppies.

In the surrounding woods the kids will also enjoy catching salamanders, newts, and garter snakes.

Waterfront Fire Pit ! We have a burn pit on our private beach. We provide the firewood; you provide the marshmallows!

Wonderful Stay

In all of the homes I've ever rented through this service, I have NEVER thought that the pictures undersold the location--typically it is the other direction. But this home was beautiful--spacious, well-appointed and perfectly located. Communication with Tim was easy and quick. Also... there was an overnight snow that dumped about 6 inches... Tim arranged a plow to clear the driveway by 10 AM. Wonderful all around, look forward to returning!

August on the lake

Lovely house. Kids enjoyed canoeing, paddle boards, and ping pong. Adults enjoyed the lake view and the hummingbirds, which were super-active around the deck (and also the canoe and ping pong). The house is quiet and secluded but only a short drive to lovely restaurants, hiking trails, and motor-boating. Check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks for a great time.

3rd Time Didn't Disappoint

This was our 3rd summer at Spruce Lake and as in years past, it was amazing. The location is perfect - just 2 hours and 15 minutes from Boston. The lake is ideal for kids and teenagers, big enough to support all the fun stuff (canoeing, SUPing, swimming and fishing) but small enough that there are no power boats and the kids can enjoy it independently without hovering parents. The house is perfect for a larger group with plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and common space. We lucked out with the weather with the exception of one day that was so so, and made the hour ride to Jiminy Peak to do the mountain adventure package (alpine slides, mountain coaster and other activities) which was a blast. There is plenty of hiking and other activities closer as well. We always bring our own food and cook but there are plenty of restaurants in Wilmington and the surrounding area (Beer Naked Brewery!) Maybe next year we will finally do some hiking if we can get the kids to leave the lake! One of our favorite activities is cooking on the fire pit, and we made breakfast there each day. Just a few pieces of advice to pass along...based on previous years we brought kitchen trash bags and paper towels with us which was helpful. There are no dish towels in the kitchen - an easy fix - but would suggest bringing a couple. A cast iron skillet would also be helpful as most of the pans have seen better days. Thanks Tim for a great vacation. We look forward to coming back next summer!

Not up to previous experiences

While there was most of the expected equipment in place, the overall impression was not great. Can only say the description of the property was optamistic. A reported problem took 2 days to get a rsponse. Problem was resolved, but lack of acknowledgement of comunication was disappointing. Finally, upon arrival wiping out the fridge was needed.

Family getaway

Booked this house kinda last minute for a short get away. The owner was very responsive and answered all of my questions about the property. The location was excellent and many in the group enjoyed spending time in the lake. House was well maintained and roomy for my group. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely large home, plenty of space! Great location, close to town on a pretty little lake. The driveway is shared off of a gravel road, good for taking walks. All essentials provided for our mid-October stay. The wood stove is cozy. Super flexible and great communication with the host!

Lovely spot

We really enjoyed our week at the house. The lake is small but lovely to swim and kayak in. The teens caught lots of fish at the shore and out in the middle, which was fun for them. The house is close to town, without being right in town, which was perfect for us. We all loved the fire pit and the ping-pong table downstairs! It was low-key, fun vacation.

Relaxing vacation

Great property with direct lake access. Small lake which was great for kids. A lot of wildlife especially birds, great blue herring, ground hog, frogs, fish and occasional small bear passing by. Game room a big hit with kids especially ping pong and of course occasional video game. Loved having our coffee on the deck each morning. And s’mores around the fire pit in evening was a great way to end our day. Enjoyed a few small but very good restaurants in town just minutes away for dinners out or take out enjoyed on the table on the log cabins deck. Tim the owner was great to work with. Very responsive and helpful. Place was very clean and beds very comfortable. Overall a great place to relax.

Wonderful little lake!

We really enjoyed this property- had 2 families there and all had a great time. Excellent host communication and the beds were comfortable (I’m very picky!). Very short drive to the nearest grocery store and the flea market on weekends was wonderfully quaint! Only thing that wasn’t great was the kitchen frying pans, if you plan on doing any cooking you should bring your own as the ones that are there are well past their lifespans.

Great location but needs a good cleaning

Pros: The location of the house and spaces within and outside the house can't be beat. The lake is more of a pond (small) but great for short canoe rides, kayaking, and fishing. We had 3 generations at the house and there was plenty of room to be together and also spread out as needed. We used the fire pit each night and enjoyed easy access to nearby hikes and attractions. Cons: The house has beautiful windows looking out at the lake but they were filthy- so many hand prints and smudges. The kitchen sink, kitchen floor and appliances were also not well cared for and dirty. Some updated, more comfortable furniture would make the interior spaces, especially the living room and dining room, more enjoyable.

Nice house

Overall the house was nice. They could have spent a little more time cleaning, floors were a little dirty. Some of the items like throw pillows and bath mat should be changed out for less worn dingy ones. For the price of the stay, some furniture could use an update or new cushion covers again dingy. The supplies were lacking. I needed to go out and buy more toilet paper and tissues which I feel should be provided in the price of the stay. The frying pans could be changed out as well. Also, we had to buy a lighter to start the fire. I am sure because of all the rain, the landscaping was over grown. Just a few inexpensive up grades would make all the difference in the feel. The place was plenty big enough, the water was nice, and the location is near many attractions and hiking. We used the paddle board and canoe often. The ping pong table was a hit! The bathrooms were clean and nice. Plenty of places to hang wet clothes and towels, which you do not usually get in rentals. That was nice to have. Plenty of space to spread out. Beds were comfortable. We brought our own linens and towels.
