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!

Just what we needed...

The property was beautiful, the view could not have been more perfect, quiet and almost waiting to be painted. We hope to visit again, I might just bring my inks and paints with me. The host and hostess, Debbie and Alan were joy to talk with, the breakfast was fit for a king. We were only there one night but wished it could have been more. We enjoyed every minute. Denny and Fran

Beautiful & peaceful place to relax and recharge

This place is a hidden gem! If you're looking for a peaceful place to relax and recharge, this is it! The house is big, beautiful, and clean. It's basically a retreat in the woods without the crowd. Want to go canoeing? There’s a lake in the back and canoes for your use. You rather just relax? The gazebo offers a great place to sit, listen to the wind, watch the trees, and observe the birds. Exceptional setting to practice mindfulness and meditate. The best part… the amazing hosts and the delicious breakfast. We look forward to returning again in the near future.

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.

Beautiful home and gracious and kind guests! Wish we could have stayed longer. The decor and ambiance of our room was warm and relaxing. The natural beauty surrounding the home is so peaceful. Outstanding breakfast. We enjoyed talking with Debbie and Alan and appreciated their recommendation for a dinner spot in a nearby town; it was great! Communication was always quick and answered all questions. Thank you Debbie and Alan, for sharing your treasure of a home!

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.

Our stay was way beyond our expectations from reading all the 5 star reviews. The property is one of the most beautiful homes that we’ve 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.
A beautiful view from a nice path.

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.
