Once here you will want to come often, makes a great anniversary retreat. #7 I'f you or anyone in your party/family has anxiety issues, depression, grief from loss or any issues on the spectrum - this is your place!! My BP dropped after just 1 hour here. #8 Request eating breakfast in the enclosed gazebo! Inside as well... the views are remarkable #9 Take a long walk along the paths, wonders of the trees and animal life are abundant #10 Worth every single cent, a true place of peace and compassion! With Much Love to Debbie & Alan (we will be back again!) -Joe & Tabitha Freeman 7/23/22-7/25/22 ##### Tabitha F. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren W. Jul 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### There aren't enough stars to review Forest Gardens Getaway!! And there aren't enough positive adjectives in the English language to describe how wonderful this bed & breakfast is! But let me start with the hosts: Debbie and Alan are gracious, kind, funny, personable, welcoming, friendly, and obviously love the work that they do to make sure their guests have an outstanding experience. Debbie is a ball of energy, looking after every detail to make sure your stay is comfortable; she is also an amazing cook! Alan always has a smile and is the mastermind behind the design of the home, right down to the woodworking details, cabinetry, and more. They are both native to the Watersmeet area, so are knowledgeable about things to do, where to find dinner, and more! I miss them both already! Now, the accommodations: well, the first word that comes to mind is "beautiful." I marveled at the design features and the little decorating details that went into making the lower suite so comfortable and cozy. Don't get me wrong--it's a very spacious place! It just felt so homey! I've been telling people that our suite is on par with my northwoods "dream home" fantasy! It's simply lovely! Elsewhere, the fully-screened gazebo is a wonderful breakfast spot, reading nook, or napping place, the grounds are beautifully landscaped (complete with a little waterfall and pond), and there are walking trails for exploring or contemplating or just relaxing. Finally, the breakfasts: Oh, wow!!! Debbie will amaze you with generous, nutritious breakfasts every day. Every breakfast comes with fresh fruits and a small pastry, coffee, juice...and then, the main course could be anything from a yummy breakfast burrito (with spicy hashbrowns on the side), blueberry danish, wild rice quiche, marvelous French toast, bacon, sausage, potatoes... Trust me, you will have enough breakfast to tide you over until a late supper--which gives you more time to go exploring or do whatever it is that you want to do in the northwoods! I absolutely loved staying at Forest Gardens Getaway! For those reading this review on Vrbo, be aware it is a bed & breakfast place, and you cannot rent the entire home as Debbie and Alan live in a private section of the building. We knew that when we booked, of course, and it worked out just fine! In fact, I'm glad Debbie and Alan were there because they are simply the most delightful people I've ever met in the U.P.!! Thanks to them both for a fantastic, beyond my wildest dreams experience! ##### Lauren W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff O.
