FOREST GARDENS GETAWAY is a small Bed & Breakfast located on the edge of the Ottawa National Forest & the Sylvania Wilderness Area. If youâre 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 10 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. Land O Lakes, WI is 2 miles to the south and Watersmeet, MI is 6 miles to the north. We are within an hour of Bond Falls, Porcupine Mountain State Park, Lake of the Clouds, and many beautiful waterfalls. You are surrounded by the quiet of nature! We start your day with a large breakfast and you can end it in the large screened porch by the lake watching all of the wildlife.
This large room has a queen size bed. Your large private bathroom is located immediately outside the bedroom door. Robes are provided.
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!

This home is beautiful and spacious! Designed by Allen 20 years ago and built with attention to every detail. The property is peaceful and secluded. A wonderful escape! And the food!!! Debbie is an excellent cook and we had a delicious and filling breakfast. We felt very welcome, almost like family!
This was an absolutely beautiful home. The owners were very accommodating and very very nice and easy to work with. My room and bathroom were perfect and I had many different places I could sit and enjoy their property overlooking the lake enjoying their gazebo and a beautiful living room to enjoy as well. The kitchen was absolutely gorgeous. The breakfast Debbie fixed was outstanding. I would recommend this property to anyone. It was such an enjoyable stay. Thank you Allen and Debbie for a beautiful time.
A beautiful property and amazing hosts. The breakfasts are photo worthy and always tasty and carefully prepared. We loved every minute of our stay. It was hard to pack up and drive away. A truly soul healing experience.
Our stay was way beyond our expectations from reading all the 5 star reviews. The property is one of the most beautiful homes that weâve ever seen. From the moment that we drove up to the property we were in awe of the home and landscaping. And then to be greeted by two of the nicest people that you can imagine. Their hospitality made us feel like family. We most definitely hope to visit them again soon.
If you are looking to relax or get out and do things this is your place.Our stay could not have been any better. Debbie and Al are so friendly and want to make your stay the best they can that they go way above any expectations.I cannot say enough about our stay. And I will not even say anything about the breakfast you have to experience it for yourself!
It was wonderful! Debbie and Al are very special hosts, they put love into absolutely everything they did to make our stay very relaxing and special! The accommodations were perfect, the food was outstanding and Debbie made the best chocolate chip cookies we've ever had! The overall experience we had magical time! Thank you Debbie and Al, you are very special people!
Debbie and Alanâs B&B is the finest B&B we have ever reserved. Their beautiful home is the most perfect place to relax. They were so accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. We felt like old friends when we left. A must if youâre planning a stay in the UP.
Debbie and Alan are gracious hosts with a beautiful home. If you are looking for a peaceful and serene retreat, this is your dream. They go above and beyond to meet your needs, are informative and very helpful.
The home is beautiful and the solitude and view are well worth the trip. The hosts are amazing and the breakfast is delicious! We truly enjoyed our stay!
Our stay in Watersmeet was too short! We felt instantly at home. The home and grounds were beautiful and made with care. Thanks so much for a lovely stay!
Debbie and Alan were master hosts in every way. Everything was perfect. Conversations much enjoyed. The property was divine. A 10-star breakfast was served on a super-sized gazebo with 360 degree views of the property and lake with white swans swimming around. Gardens and paths colored the way with blooming flowers and frogs sunning themselves on lily pads. Babbling sounds from a waterfall and pond outside our bedroom window lulled us to sleep. It was magical. We didnât want to leave.
Lovely craftsman built home. Gardens landscaping spectacular. Accommodations beautifully appointed. So comfortable. Large delicious breakfast. Lake views complete with Whistling Swans. Hosts Deb and Alan were so warm and welcoming. It was a much needed peaceful retreat for us from a sad day filled with sad news that we received as we were traveling to the North.
This was one of the most peaceful stays we have ever had. Debbie and Allen were phenomenal hosts. Beautiful home and surrounding grounds.
Breakfast was very filling and you will not leave hungry. Planning to come back and that was before I even walked in the door!
My husband and I have been coming up north to the Eagle River area for many years and typically stay in a cottage on a lake. We decided to try something new this year and stayed at Debbie and Alanâs bed and breakfast. The property was absolutely stunning and the location was great. Debbie and Alan were wonderful hosts providing great conversation, tips about local spots to visit and absolutely incredible breakfasts. We really loved our stay and hope to visit again!
Forest Gardens Getaway is our favorite stay ever in the northwoods of Wisconsin. If you are searching for a quiet, beautiful asylum to destress and chart adventures in the Cisco Chain, Sylvania Wilderness or Porcupine Mountains; it is unequalled. This pristine, architecturally unique home is situated on a private lake with gardens and walking trails. The home itself is designed with contemplation and privacy as its focus; as the four bedrooms are located at the opposing sides of the home on two levels. We found the bed to be very comfortable with top quality sheets. There was even a little waterfall outside of our bedroom window to lull us to sleep. There is a screened gazebo with comfortable furniture, which overlooks the lake to share with other visitors.
The owners, who designed and built this custom pine and river rock gem from the floors up, could not be kinder. The breakfast was superbly prepared from the finest ingredients. We could not recommend this humble abode, with its wonderful creators, more. A visit to be cherished.
Debbie and Alan are the best hosts weâve ever had. We only stayed the night but that evening was so relaxing, the bedroom was perfect and the breakfast was fantastic. We recommend anybody stay here if youâre looking for a nice quiet retreat.
