About this property

Stunning, secluded lodge nestled in the woods- minutes from town.

We welcome you to Frenchy's Forest Lodge. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded, and relaxing getaway- look no further.

We are honored to open our home to you and are confident you will love it just as much as we do. We have put a lot of thought and effort into our cabin ensuring it will be the perfect destination. Our property is uniquely private surrounded by woods perfect for bird watching, sightseeing, stargazing under a bonfire, turkey hunting, and more! A true 'Cabin in the Woods' experience, but you'll do anything but "rough it" here with our pristinely clean home, including all of the modern amenities.

Our Lodge is big enough to sleep 11 yet cozy enough to be enjoyed by 2. We have taken special measures to provide adequate space for everyone with large closets, spacious bedrooms, a large, finished basement, dining for everybody, and a beautiful open concept layout that allows everyone to feel at ease. Our spacious kitchen is fully stocked with items ranging from a pizza cutter to a crockpot, and everything in between; it's100% ready for family gatherings.

Frenchy's Forest Lodge is located 10 minutes from Downtown Escanaba, 3 minutes from the Rusty Rail Bar & Grill, 50 miles from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, day trips to endless waterfalls, minutes from kayaking, hiking, ATV/Snowmobile trails, and more.

This is truly a place to enjoy all four seasons.

We had such a wonderful time at this cabins. The cabin was clean and had everything that we needed. The owners were kind and super helpful. The cabin was in a secluded area so we could walk around and enjoy the fall colors with no worries of neighbors. I would recommend bringing your own water to drink if you are not comfortable drinking from a well.

What a great place to get away from it all and just relax. Great place with plenty of room and wildlife outside. Only recommendation to other bookings, follow the directions to the place from the host, do not use GPS to get to the cabin. Thank you again for a great stay!

Cute cabin

This cute cabin is set in the middle of a very private wooded area. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. It is also close enough to town for quick trips. It is a little confusing finding the place but we'll worth the trip.
