U.P. Bed and Breakfast

Debbie and Alan’s B&B is the finest B&B we have ever reserved. Their beautiful home is the most perfect place to relax. They were so accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. We felt like old friends when we left. A must if you’re planning a stay in the UP.

A wonderful hideaway in the Ottawa National Forest

We were warmly welcomed by Debbie and Alan our hosts to their beautiful cabin overlooking the lake. Our breakfast was delicious and our nights sleep super peaceful. If we visit the UP again we will certainly aim to stay longer to enjoy the area. We could not fault our stay and recommend it highly.

Spectacular!

My husband and I have been coming up north to the Eagle River area for many years and typically stay in a cottage on a lake. We decided to try something new this year and stayed at Debbie and Alan’s bed and breakfast. The property was absolutely stunning and the location was great. Debbie and Alan were wonderful hosts providing great conversation, tips about local spots to visit and absolutely incredible breakfasts. We really loved our stay and hope to visit again!

Perfect Getaway B&B!

Online booking was so easy to do and we liked that they did not require a 2 night minimum to stay since we were only in the area for 1 night. Debbie and Alan were very welcoming upon arrival and had great suggestions for things to do. Home is secluded and extremely quiet/peaceful. It was a wonderful stay and we look forward to staying with them again!

Spectacular Accommodations!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous wood and stone home overlooking Twist Lake. Beautifully decorated with attention to so many details like piped in bird sounds from the outside. The gourmet breakfasts were fantastic. Living quarters were very private and quiet. We were so happy with this little piece of heaven!
