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!
