About this property

FOREST GARDENS GETAWAY is a bed and breakfast located in the beautiful UP!


FOREST GARDENS GETAWAY is a small Bed & Breakfast located on the edge of the Ottawa National Forest & the Sylvania Wilderness Area. (Find our contact information on MapQuest). If you’re looking for a place to help you put away the cares and concerns of the world, look no further! We have been hosting guests for 8 years and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to provide a peaceful, retreat-like experience for our guests and we do whatever we can to make you feel comfortable and welcome in our home.

The western side of the UP offers so much to those who love the peace of nature. We're just 20 miles from Bond Falls, which is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the UP. Porcupine Mountains State Park is just a little further and is the home of even more beauty. Lake of the Clouds will take your breath away and Presque Isle Falls is just as beautiful. Going west you'll find Black River Harbor with its 5 waterfalls winding their way through deep gorges and finally emptying into Lake Superior where you can walk for miles on the shore, collecting rocks and enjoying nature at its finest. Return back to the house at the end of your day and relax in the large screened-in gazebo (or in front of the fireplace in the living room area), enjoying the quiet with your cocktail. Here you'll find lots of different song birds, water fowl, beaver, otters, and deer.

This large 1100 sq. ft. suite is on the lower level and has 2 bedrooms and a bath. It can sleep 4 comfortably. One room has a queen size bed and the other has 2 twins. The suite has a living/gathering area with a couch, love seat, and large screen TV, a wet bar with Kuerig, microwave, and small refrigerator, 2 bar tables and chairs for working or game playing, and a 9' regulation pool table. There's a 3-season private entrance for the suite.

We have a separate suite on the opposite side of the house from you and are as available as you wish for us to be. We love to visit with our guests but also want to give you your privacy if you so desire!

Please also check out the upper level suite with private bath that sleeps 2 (property #919649). The entire 3 bedroom/2 bath area is available to rent at a discount for larger groups and sleeps 6.

No smoking on Premises. Not suitable for young children.

Amazing
If you are looking for a welcoming, clean, quiet, and comfortable place to stay, look no further! My sister and I had to go to the U.P. and just needed a place to rest for the night before heading back down south. We really hit the jackpot with Forest Gardens! Debbie and Alan are the sweetest people ever. Their home is so beautiful and we enjoyed our time there very much. Breakfast was so delicious and their hospitality was next level. They made a fire for us, had relaxing music playing, lots of comfy blankets to use. We also enjoyed watching all of the birds while eating our breakfast. If I go back up to the area. I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Five stars- highly recommend!
Debbie and Alan are incredible hosts- one of the best vrbo properties and experiences we’ve ever had! Their home is exquisite - relaxing, peaceful, and comfortable. Their property and gardens are breathtaking- we really enjoyed relaxing on the deck after dropping off our child at college. Debbie’s breakfast was the best we had on our entire trip- so delicious! Book with confidence- highly recommend!

The hosts Debbie and Alan were outstanding, warm, friendly, helpful and hospitable. The breakfasts were delicious and made according to our dietary preferences.

Beautiful home and setting
The hosts were absolutely wonderful! Their home is just beautiful. The scenery is so serene and pretty. While eating a scrumptious breakfast we looked out over the lovely lake and watched ducks and herons in the water, saw a hummingbird on the feeder, as well as squirrels playing. Early morning coffee out in the screened in gazebo, we heard loons! We stayed in the lower level where we played pool and enjoyed the quiet in the evening! Very peaceful place and we really loved chatting with our hosts. Deb makes the best chocolate chip cookies!
