Northwoods Lake Escape • Bonfires, Boats & Fish!

The location of this home was wonderful and our family was very excited to have a quiet place to vacation. Unfortunately the listing and expectations presented were not what we arrived to. Many items in the home are in need of repair from rotting exterior steps, torn out screens, windows without openers (No AC so much needed), beds with broken supports and mattresses that need updating to a front door that can not be opened from the outside nor the inside if the removable latch is not perfectly positioned, broken basement exit door handle and screens, smelly master bedroom, basement is musty and does have a dehumidifier that we cleaned each day, missing lightbulbs, etc. The fishing dock is broken and on shore so not usable. The refrigerator had many broken parts and was not working correctly. The homeowner did have a new refrigerator delivered and the old fridge remained and was able to be used for veggies. Text messages from the homeowner were almost a daily occurance. Not our unplugged vacation expectation.If you are not renting the adjoining garage space/apartment, realize that other guests will also be sharing the space with you.Unfortunately this is not what was anticipated according to the listing, cost and the large list of do's and don'ts provided, discussed over a phone conference and mandatorily shared with all guests. We did not expect to be arriving at a party house.This is a property with a beautiful location and great potential that really needs some TLC.

Wisconsin Vacation The house was large and spacious for our group of 17, ranging in age from 4 months to 64 years. The beach towels, games and children’s toys came in handy. Kitchen has a nice layout for several people to work together! Loved the beautiful wooden kitchen table! Water off pier was shallow for school age children. Would recommend water shoes for the rocky bottom. Quiet roads for walking or gravel cycling. Owners were great to work with. Would recommend for your large group of family or friends!

Summer fun! We had a big group of friends all get together and we really enjoyed our stay! The place was wonderful, clean, and the outdoor amenities made for such a fun stay!! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic lodge on a beautiful lake for a family reunion! Tremendous family memories were made the last two weeks staying at Cast Iron Lodge on Lac Vieux Desert!! The lodge’s interior and exterior spaces are spacious, well designed so that my family’s three generations of adults and children could gather, eat, play, and visit with ease. We loved canoeing, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and mtn biking. We rented a pontoon from Rob and the kids and adults had a blast tubing and water skiing! Phil and Amandy were excellent hosts, answering any questions that we had in a timely fashion. I highly recommend a stay at Cast Iron Lodge!

Beautiful property This place is so beautiful and had everything you need for a weekend get away. Views of the lake were incredible from the house and there is so much space within the house- we had a group of 20 and everyone fit comfortably! Great communication from the hosts as well, with great recommendations

Fun Beautiful cabin with ample room. Fun fishing and swimming all week
