Bob and Sherri have thought of everything

We went up for a winter weekend of skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. This is the perfect location. Easy trail access for snowmobiles. Twenty five minutes to Mt. Bohemia. They also have snow there in winter. This makes the whole crew happy. Love the location. Lake Superior is right out the window. The hosts have thought of everything you might need. From a stocked kitchen to extra blankets, this was comfortable. The entryway room with all of it’s hooks, is perfect for all your activity gear. Perfect for a winter get away.

A Paradise on the south side

Wow! What an amazing place to stay. Bob came by and introduced himself almost immediately, and he could not have been more welcoming and kind. He made my mother, who had never been to the Keweenaw, and was a bit nervous, feel right at home. The home we stayed in, The Captain, was incredible. Spotless modern fixtures throughout, three comfortable and spacious bedrooms, two huge windows overlooking the lake, and a luxurious deck in the back! It's amazing to see the progress Bob and Sherry have made, and I hope to return and enjoy the paradise they've created again soon!

Amazing View & Comfortable Home

This rental was spotlessly clean, beautifully and comfortably decorated updated rental. We had a wonderful time here! The beds and the living room furniture were very comfortable. The view is spectacular--looking out the windows and sitting on the deck is just beautiful. We also enjoyed the firepit at night. Our hosts were welcoming and very friendly. The rental is in a row of 5 rentals and while fine with us, that was not indicated from the pictures. The area around the rentals is a bit of a 'work in progress' , but again, this did not detract from our enjoyment. We had a wonderful 5 days and would happily stay again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Our location is magical. Lots of shoreline! Small marina. Lots of lake access.
Grandpa Kauppi chose it for his commercial fishing business. Dad continued expanding it. Then my brother and I took over to convert it to a resort.
The houses were moved to the site from a former Air Force Base that was decommissioned. We are renovating them into rustic-luxe vacation homes. The views are jaw dropping.
The docks are great for hanging out. We have ladders for swimmers, a Sandy section for waders, a launch for small crafts, and lots of bang out space with a tiki hut, a stage for live music, and picnic tables.
We provide kayaks, bicycles, and a couple of corn hole games. We offer a batch beach towels for taking to the docks and waterfront.
We are the third generation to keep developing the site. The Breakwall is a giant project. In 2021 it got dressed up with two huge slabs of granite. About 16,000 pounds of granite are bolted to the wall facing the marina. It’s like a mega art installation. The granite came from reclaimed blocks of granite that came from quarries on the east coast.mThey were sent to the Keweenaw Peninsula by train by the owners of the copper mines. They were used for ballasts for the enormous cranes and hoists that the mines needed for extraction. Bob excavated nearly 30 of these rough cut blocks and had them tricked to our site in 2021. A epic find for a scavenger of local treasures like him.
We have so much history to share. Bob lives in the house by the docks, the Harbor Masters house. Feel free to ask him about the history. He has pictures to prove it!
The former school house in Gay has been converted to a museum. Be sure to make time to stop in there during the summer season.
