About this property

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.

Up North Cabin with all Amenities!

Booked for a friends and family weekend! 4 adults and 5 kiddos under 5 yrs old. The cabin is spacious for large groups with great hiking in the area. We loved the bonfire set up and how relaxing the living room was. Bummed that mother nature didn't have snow in February but I'd imagine that this place would be GREAT for snow adventures and hunting!

Hunting getaway

Dave and Mary are the best people to work with to make your vacation special!!!! The cabin is beyond beautiful and is set up extremely well for what ever you want to do. The location is perfect to enjoy the wilderness and only being 15 min. From town is a huge bonus. There is a ton of wildlife to watch which is why we came back again and will return next year! Dave and Mary are the perfect owners to take care of your ultimate vacation and build family memories! Thank you Dave and Mary, we will see you again soon!

Amazing and Secluded

It was just what we were looking for! We came to see the sights and fall colors and the best colors were actually at the cabin. We enjoyed time there and were able to keep all three kids as well as the adults entertained on the day we had starting late due to rain. The cabin was the cleanest place that we have rented. Dave and Mary were very responsive and on top of everything!

Amazing property

Overall fantastic lodgings. Clean, roomy, secluded. Gorgeous location. Only room for improvement would be correct address on listing. We got in to town late and finding it in the dark wasn't easy since we went to the wrong address(the one listed on VRBO). I was sent the correct address by the property owner but didn't realize at first that they differed. Would definitely recommend this property to others staying in the area.
