The attention to detail, the serene lake, and the incredible amenities left us in awe!" "The lodge is an oasis of tranquillity. Comfortable beds! From stargazing to morning coffee on the porch, every moment was pure bliss." "We chose Cast Iron Lodge for our special day, and it was a dream come true. The setting, the service, and the memories will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We plan to return annually to celebrate!" "As avid fishermen, the Fisherman's Package was a dream.

Enjoy the use of the lakeside pier, canoes, kayaks, paddle board, BBQ, fire pits, laundry room, etc. \-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. The 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, that 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 fulfil 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 northern Wisconsin's natural beauty and recreational opportunities. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Gravel flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Boat - Foosball table - Golf - Kayak - Paddleboard - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 6,491 square feet ## Similar properties ![Game room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77870000/77867000/77866926/cf349fd8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront retreat with hot tub, water view, game room, home theater & dock Phelps - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=77866926&PinnedHotelID=77866926&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107560000/107553200/107553164/2d1d0dd6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Redstone, a one-of-a-kind, luxurious 7200 sq. ft. impressive Lakeside log home Land O' Lakes - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=107553164&PinnedHotelID=107553164&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, table tennis](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94980000/94977000/94976988/9f5f145e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront home with game rooms, dock, kayaks, private beach, fireplace, firepit Conover - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=94976988&PinnedHotelID=94976988&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118130000/118130000/118129953/8aab1ec1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Lakefront designer-built property in Northwoods!

We have a large group (12 of us!) and we have stayed at many VRBO properties over the years. This was the nicest by far. Matt was very helpful in recommending restaurants and nearby attractions and we LOVED our stay. ##### Cherie R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabel C. May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Weekend Retreat The cabin is beautiful, set in a rustic and peaceful location; it’s even better in person than in the photos. The interior was cozy, well-designed, with lots of thoughtful touches. We weren’t able to enjoy the water due to the cold weather, but there’s clearly plenty to do when it’s warmer outside. The hosts were super responsive and very on top of things, which we really appreciated. That said, there was a bit of a push to add extras or reminders about potential fees, which felt a little out of place given the premium nature of the property. Also, we were informed at check-in that one of the showers was out of commission and we were not offered any type of alternative or refund. Not ideal for a group of 12, but also not the end of the world. Still, our weekend was amazing and just what we needed! Thanks Amandy & Phil! ##### Isabel C.

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.

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! ##### Sally C.

Jun 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Outstanding property Whenever one books a vacation rental, there’s always this nagging doubt that the marketing is maybe ways away from reality. In this case, it was, but as a pleasant surprise. This is a phenomenal property and was extremely comfortable for our party of 15 - 5 families. We had plenty of space, lots of amenities and the view was a million dollar view. The boat slip (and lift) was a really convenient amenity. The best passer of the property was the location. Far away from traffic and crowds and nestled within mature green areas of a lakeside forest. The response from the owners are really on point and we enjoyed corresponding with them. Overall highly recommend this rental. ##### Sai C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly L.

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. ##### Larry B.

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! ##### Jenny S.

Jul 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Sydney M.

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. ##### Jill D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter S.

The place was awesome for some much needed recovery after we beat our bodies up on the trails. The water pressure was amazing and the hot water seemed endless, I'm pretty sure they have a tankless water heater. The driveway is long and could be difficult if you have a trailer. We had a 28' trailer behind a f250 (roughly 60') and did have a heck of a time turning it around near the house. We had a blast and plan to use this rental as our Northwoods guys trip destination for years to come ##### Peter S. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly F.

It is beautiful and the views even more so. We found the kitchen to be excellent for cooking, a dinner for 10, as well as a brunch. As we were there for a wedding we did not get as much time as we would have liked at this house. Would highly recommend staying here if you are headed to northern Wisconsin. ##### Molly F.

We rented a pontoon boat for the extremely large lake. We enjoyed watching the eagles on their nest from the property. The property was furnished with canoes, and kayaks. We made smores at the firepit. Amandy and Phil informed us of where to rent a boat and the best restaurants. The weather was good and our reunion was a huge success.

It was perfect for us - plenty of bedrooms and beds, all spread out enough to give privacy as needed, but also beautiful family/dining/kitchen and outside areas to gather together when we wanted. Everything was really clean, and the housekeeper let us in, showed us around and was super friendly. Getting a pontoon for the week was also easy, and we loved fishing and swimming off it. Anchored off the public beach across the lake (Lac Vieux Desert Campground) and we all spent the day there grilling and swimming. Saw and heard the bald eagles just beside the dock all week, and enjoyed the loon visit every evening. Great communication with hosts. Thanks! ##### Chad H.

We spent a day skiing in MI which was wonderful & a day on the lake fishing which was productive. The outdoor firepit provided for a great nighttime opportunity to recall the days events. The kitchen was set up very well & the large dining table was great for game playing after meals. Wish we could have stayed longer! ##### BARB L.
