The focus of this category is on hotels, motels, campgrounds, and other guest accommodations in Gwinn, Michigan.

While the traditional industries of the Upper Peninsula, lumbering and mining, have all but ceased to exist, the UP remains heavily forested, with an abundance of rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. Forsyth Township, and the surrounding area, are largely forested and have miles of high-quality fishing streams, as well as rivers and lakes for canoeing and kayaking. Much of the township's mixed-age forest is owned by the state, and managed for timber and wildlife production, while many parcels are enrolled in the Commercial Forest Acts, and are available to the public for recreational purposes, including hunting and other outdoor recreation activities.

Hiking, biking, and ATV use are popular sports in the spring, summer, and fall, and the winter brings opportunities for skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. Regional trail networks facilitating these activities include the Iron Ore Heritage Trail and the Noquemanon Trail Network, and the Sands/Gwinn Trail connects Gwinn to the DNR trails at Blueberry Ridge in Sands Township, as well as the community of Sawyer. These activities bring visitors to Gwinn.

There are also historic mining sites in the area, many of them near recreational lands in the township, and people often come to visit these sites. Much of Gwinn itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which brings people to Gwinn as a destination.

Gwinn is a small community with very little industry and a few commercial businesses that meet the needs of local residents, visitors, and passersby, but the town is home to some guest lodging facilities, which are the focus of this category. Online resources representing hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals, RV parks, campgrounds, and other guest accommodations in Gwinn, Michigan are appropriate for this category.
