About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

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.

Great place in the woods!
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!

Fantastic Family Vacation
This is a lovely, spacious, warm home with everything we needed. The property is secluded and yet easily accessible. We hiked, had campfires, watched meteor showers, and had a fabulous time. Highly recommend!

Great family Yooper getaway
We had 10 adults and one grand baby and the house handled us all with ease. A little challenging to find initially but the seclusion is delightful. The house is well furnished inside and outside. Only complaint is lack of airflow in main floor dining family room as huge windows face west and get a lot of afternoon sun and we made all our meals using the oven which only added to the heat. Always cooled off overnight. Would definitely stay here again!
