-Make use of the WiFi and entertainment system when you're not out on the lake adventuring or hiking nearby trails enjoying the fresh air.
-There is one gravel driveway with parking areas that can hold 6+ cars and trailers, if needed.

SOME NOTES ABOUT THE NORTHWOODS:
- This is in the forests and you will likely see bugs, mice, bats or furry critters (including bears!). We do maintain the property with regular pest control, but due to the surroundings, or if doors are left open, or food is left outside the house, this can attract critters.
- There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat for a short term. Generator is available.

PLEASE NOTE:
-Summer Guests The absence of modern air conditioning can enhance the rustic charm and authenticity of a log cabin experience. Log cabins are known for their excellent insulation properties, naturally keeping the cabin cooler in the summer. Opening the windows at night to let in the cool air is a smart way to maintain comfort and enjoy the natural breeze and sounds of the outdoors.
-Fall/Winter Please understand, winters are very cold in Northern Wisconsin. Our log home is large with 35 foot ceilings. It can feel drafty at times and when the temperatures drop the furnaces have a hard time keeping up. We cannot fulfill requests to keep the cabin at temperatures above 70 degrees. Prepare for Wisconsin winters.
- The lodge has delicious tasting well water
- Cell phone service is spotty for some in the area, so download the maps offline before arriving.
Overall, the Cast Iron Lodge provides a luxurious and serene setting for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of northern Wisconsin.

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

2023 Bayless Family Gathering
We often gather as a family, but this was a first for fishing in Wisc. Some family members live in the area and we have not seen in years so they visited for a few hours one day. It was great for our 2 1/2 yr old to catch first fish. Weather was great and lodge was perfect for our group. Have fished in the area 60 yrs ago, so was a homecoming and the fish caught were very healthy, no grubs.

Great Family Trip
Amandy's communication was like none other! Kept us up to date with things to do in the area, places to get wood and a boat as we got closer to our dates. She was very responsive with all my questions. Owners responded immediately when there were issues with the toilets. House was comfortable and fit our family of 20 easily. The lake was amazing! Would recommend and would stay again!

2023 Mabie family vacation
This home is big and beautiful.. If you have older kids the lakefront is awesome. If you have younger children it gets a lot of the wind and waves on this side of Lac View Dessert lake, and there is no beach.. Just a rocky bottom. Though rocky it is a great place to fish. We were able to land a few small mouth bass and other small fish. The fire pit outside is nice but if the wind blows just right it blows into the house. Make sure to close all doors and windows. The home has a nice screened in porch for morning devotions and coffee and a place to escape the Wisconsin state bird the mosquito. The home has many amenities and a large enough kitchen to cook for a large group. The home is dark so if you like light, bring your own.. it was fine for us but hard to read at night The cleaning crew did a great job of providing us a clean place to come to but the wood beams and fans were very dusty and there were many cob webs. We were even met with two bats which we promptly took care of. No fault of anyone's.. it is the north woods. Two of the bathroom doors didn't lock so I hope they fix that for the next group. The beds were comfortable and they supplied swimming towels which was a nice convenience. The hosts were quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had. We are hosts as well ... we would highly recommend this place. Just wanted you to know the few things we encountered. We would definitely rent this again!

Lakeside log cabin
The property was nice for our group of 11 family members. The house is spacious and well built, but the appliances are showing some age. Renters do not control the thermostat so prepare accordingly - we stayed in early summer and it was cool in the house. We recommend you make sure to bring bug spray/bracelets, bath and shower soap, toilet paper, napkins and paper towels, paper plates, garbage bags, dish soap and dishwasher pods (must use pods because as the owner pointed out to us, the dispenser in the dishwasher doesn’t work). We enjoyed the lake and fires in the fire pit at night. The dock was very nice. We had a great boat rental from Rob, recommended by the owner. Rob also provided firewood and went out of his way to provide us excellent customer service.
