Best place we ever stayed at!

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 didn’t want to leave.

Peaceful Beauty

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.

Spectacular!

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 Alan’s 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!

Our Favorite Northwoods Gem

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.

Lovely getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay with Alan and Debbie! They’re property is beautiful, peaceful, and cozy. And the breakfasts…. Yum!! They have truly poured their hearts and souls into this slice of paradise, thinking about every little detail. We felt welcomed and comfortable from arrival to departure. Even made friends with the other guests (who have unofficially became our adopted kids haha). If/when we’re up that way again we would undoubtedly stay there again! Much love to our fabulous hosts!

Beautiful Getaway

Debbie and Alan’s home and property were lovely. We walked the trails on the grounds and enjoyed the peace and quiet in lush surroundings. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast they made for us was incredible. Everything included in the meal - and it was a lot! - was delicious. Debbie and Alan made it easy to be in their home. They were available when we needed them and unobtrusive the rest of the time. I want to go back - soon and offen!

Honeymoon Retreat

Beautiful and peaceful bed and breakfast retreat, perfect for a remote getaway! Private access to a lake for canoing and kayaking (provided), as well as a gorgeous home, my wife and I really loved our honeymoon there, and are already planning to return in the future. Deb and Alan were a joy to talk with, and she made some amazing breakfasts, gourmet quality, yet there was plenty of privacy. Also, practically any ammenity and comfort you could hope for is thoughtfully provided. If you like to get away and not stress, I'd highly recommend. There are plenty of natural sights to see and good foods to eat with plenty of hidden gems as well. Even the drives are beautiful and relaxing. There's plenty more that could be added, but overall 10/10 highly recommend!

Peaceful forest getaway

This place was an absolute gem. My husband and I were needing a peaceful vacation after our son got married and this was perfect. Between the beautiful and delicious homemade breakfasts, the hospitality of Debbie and Alan, and their help getting us to see all the best tourist spots, we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We got a chance to visit with Debbie and Alan for a while one morning and share our family with them. They were a joy to talk to. We would definitely stay here if we are ever again in the area. Thank you !! Jen and Jason
