Northwoods Lake Escape • Bonfires, Boats & Fish!

Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing Cast Iron Lodge for your stay! We’re so glad to hear that you and your group enjoyed the amenities, the cottage, and especially the fishing. Rock Lake truly is impressive, and we love when guests discover just how big and beautiful it is. It’s great to know you had such a memorable stay in February. Each season brings something special here, and we agree—spring and summer on the lake are absolutely amazing. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you and your group back to Cast Iron Lodge anytime

It truly means the world to us that you noticed and appreciated the little details, from the kitchen utensils to the water cans on the bunk beds and the luxury bathrobe and linens. We put a lot of care into those things, and your feedback is a huge validation! It sounds like you took full advantage of the amenities, and we're glad the kayaks and canoes added to the fun. Thank you so much for the kind words about our communication and for giving us a fantastic 10/10 rating. We can't wait to welcome your family back again soon!

Jill, Thank you for the review, however we would like to provide some clarity. It was discovered prior to your arrival the sliding door on the dishwasher soap dispenser had a small spring that broke causing issue with the soap door closing. As a result I simply stated to just throw the dishwasher pod in the dishwasher which certainly gets the job done just the same. So sorry but items do break and action had already been taken to order parts. Our appliances are very nice, the BOSCH dishwasher does work great. We do provide thorough information to all guests upon booking along with pre arrival information. This house manual along with guidelines for the home clearly defines that we provide enough initial/starter supplies for your arrival which includes, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, garbage bags, paper towel, toilet paper, body wash, shampoo, conditioner. We were unaware of any uncomfortable house temperatures. The house was around 70-73 degrees. I did make one trip to the house during your stay and there was no request for heat. We are sure to tell all booking guests to please contact us directly at any time, if there is anything that they need prior or during their stay. We attempt to make it very clear that all guests must read and understand all the information that was sent to them. I am sorry if some of this information remained unknown, we will take ownership of this and work harder to make sure all guests are indeed receiving and understanding the necessary information.

Kristen was an awesome guest! We maintained great communication, and I genuinely look forward to welcoming them back in the future. Their responsible and respectful approach to renting the Lodge was truly appreciated, and we sincerely hope for the opportunity to host them again. I wholeheartedly recommend her to other hosts. Thank you so much for choosing Casting Iron Lodge for your stay! Safe travels! :)
