Information on Staying
At GetAway Bay
We offer lodging for both daily and weekly rentals. We can
accommodate from 1 to 10 guests in a single cottage and groups
of up to 44 guests if we take advantage of all the properties.
A few things that set our cottages and resort apart from
the rest are: All of our cottages have frontage on
the lake. We are the only resort on the lake setup
with each cabin on the water with its own frontage. Each cabin
also has its own private deck facing the
lake. They make a great place to sit out and enjoy that first
cup of coffee while watching the water. Each cottage has its
own dock for your boat. We also have some
slips for smaller boats. Cottages have free satellite
TV and also free wireless highspeed internet.
We have ample parking for trailers, vehicles and snowmobiles.
One of the first things you will notice about the property
here at GetAway Bay is the relaxed atmosphere and
quiet setting. There is a community fire pit with
a camp fire going most evenings. We also have a sandbox for
our younger guests! The property is large enough to spread
out on and find a quiet place to sit and read or watch the
waves go by. Take a few minutes to wander the property while
you are out and watch a humming bird feeding in the wild flowers.
Laura and I really enjoy sharing the lake and surrounding
area with people. I have been known to pull out a map and
start circling some "secret waterfalls", a little known trout
stream, grouse cover, or structure in the lake and hand that
map to a guest. The way we see it is this: you only get so
long to enjoy this life so you might as well share as much
as you can.
Lake Gogebic and the surrounding area has so much to offer
that it's almost impossible to list it all. Here are a
few of the activities:
Fishing
in the lake for Walleye, Jumbo Perch (of which some go 15
or 16 inches), Small Mouth Bass, and Northern Pike.
Plus World Class Muskie fishing within a 20 minute drive.
Stream fishing
for Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout, as well as, Salmon
and Steelhead.
This area is a Fishing Mecca and even with multiple lifetimes
you would only scratch the surface of what's offered.
Hunting
in the area is just as diverse as the fishing. Deer and
bear hunting are by far the most popular hunting activities.
Many people overlook the grouse / partridge hunting in the
area, as well as, the diverse waterfowl hunting conditions
that the area can offer.
Sightseeing
is a wonderful year round activity. There are over 100 marked
and named waterfalls in Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties of
which the lake resides in both. One waterfall can be accessed
by boat without leaving the lake. Come on up. I will draw
a map for you. I can tell you many more waterfalls are out
there. We find new ones each year when we are out snowshoeing
or trout fishing along rivers and streams.
Relaxing
is what we do best. Located in the southern third of the lake,
we have a quiet atmosphere which makes relaxing and enjoying
your vacation easy. The property is large with room to roam
and find a quiet spot. Each cabin has its own deck to sit
on. A large fire pit complete with free firewood offers a
nice place to gather in the evening and visit. By far, my
favorite thing to do is sit on the end of one of the four
docks on the property and watch the lake for a while.
