Dockside resort gay mi
The Dockside Resort, situated near Gay, Michigan, boasts over 1200 feet of breathtaking Lake Superior shoreline. This expansive waterfront property is equivalent to 24 city blocks stretching along the lake's edge.
This exceptional retreat is uniquely designed with its historic dock. Constructed in the 1920s by our forefather, Charles Kauppi, for a commercial fishing operation, the dock is remarkable. A substantial cement and brick breakwater extends outward, providing refuge from easterly winds. The dock's dual arms furnish a protected haven for small motorboats, canoes, kayaks, and invigorating swimmers. Picnicking and evening campfires are popular pastimes for those who prefer land-based relaxation.
Fishing enthusiasts, whether with rod and reel or on a boat excursion, will find a haven for their passion. Our campground, positioned on the western expanse of the property, offers a range of accommodation options, encompassing both hookups and rustic campsites.
During winter's embrace, adventurers from Mount Bohemia frequently seek refuge in our vacation home to savor the cozy after-ski atmosphere. Michigan's extensive snowmobile trail network, approximately 6,300 miles, presents exceptional opportunities for exploration.

Our beautiful, year-round vacation home provides a luxurious experience with a fully equipped kitchen in the great room, featuring two expansive, 8-foot windows framing breathtaking views. This distinctive retreat promises a truly unforgettable escape.
