Nature Lover's Dream Home - Lake Views, Docks and Trails!

The three spacious, private bedrooms have a queen, a queen, and twin beds and full closet for your luggage. The biggest bedroom also includes a queen sized futon, couch style, suitable for a single person. The large bathroom features a walk-in shower that measures 40x60" for plenty of elbow room. The kitchen shines with stainless appliances and modern comforts. Plus we provide lots of extras to add to the fun of hanging out, such as a coffee pot (we provide the coffee), a waffle maker, a crockpot, and a blender - for berry smoothies or adult beverages. There is grilling available for outdoor meals. We provide either paper plates or classy dishes, depending on how you want to dine for each meal.
A large attached porch is perfect for snowmobilers to unpack their gear and for bicyclers to safely store their bikes. Snowmobile trail #133 runs into our driveway. If 4-wheeling in your thing, there is plenty of room to keep trailers and gear on site. Mount Bohemia is just down the road.
We are situated at the official trail head for the 4 wheel trails and for the snowmobile trails. The grounds at Dockside include fire pits, large and small. Fishing, swimming, and sun-bathing are encouraged.
On the grounds, we have a stage for hosting musical acts. Plus we have a cabana that is wired with a refrigerator and roasting ovens for serving food and drinks to larger groups. Let us know if you plan to have an event of your own while you are with us. Weddings, reunions, and picnics. If you have any questions about what is included please feel free to send an email.

Keeeenaq Experience
The property was interesting. Small nicely laid out campground. Cottage was large, clean, and comfortable. The Dockside Resort was close to many waterfall, small towns to explore, and beaches of Lake Superior. Everyone enjoyed the stay. Thank you Sherri and Bob for letting us enjoy your cottage

Visiting the UP with Framily
Three adults and two kids did a 12 day road trip to and through the UP. We stayed in house#1 on Sherry, Fred, and Bob’s property. They are in the process of renovating their six houses. We had a three bedroom one bath, stocked kitchen, spacious living area, a fire rind, picnic table on the porch, lake view, bicycle, fishing rods, access to kayaks AND a lake view. We cannot wait to come stay here again! Thank you for the hospitality!

Nice U.P. Rental!
Nice rental in the small town of Gay, MI. Well-stocked kitchen ready with extra meal items in case we forgot to bring something. Plenty of room for two couples and a few extras that joined us for dinner. Bob and Sherri were wonderful hosts and answered all our inquiries quickly. Nice little campsite just adjacent to rental units. Would rent again from this host.

Came back for a second visit!!
We enjoyed this property so much the first time we decided to come back for a second trip!! The owners are incredible. Because there was so much snow, the front door wouldn’t close properly and the owner came within ten minutes to fix it!! They responded in a timely manner, left snacks for us and everything was super clean!! They even let our doggie come stay and he loves it there too! Hopefully we can do it again next year as well :)
