CR 432 goes out to Seul Choix Point, the beautiful Seul Choix Lighthouse and museum, and Port Inland limestone quarry. The road passes between 1,000-acre Gulliver Lake and McDonald Lake (nearly 2,000 acres).<br><br> As a place name for a dispersed rural neighborhood, "Gulliver" encompasses the crossroads, the lakeside summer cottages, and the point where a fishing village once flourished. <br><br><center> <table cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 border=0 width=420> <tr> <td> <img src="http://hunts-upguide.com/photos/282.gif" width=420 height=137 alt="Gulliver Old Deerfield Resort" border=0> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="-2"> <b>The Old Deerfield Resort, currently closed, is on the east side of Gulliver Lake.

It originally was part of 4,000 acres purchased from a logging company in the 1920s and finished as the Depression was taking hold. The resort owners eventually sold off parcels of their land, retaining the nucleus at the east end of Gulliver Lake. The Old Deerfield Resort is closed at the moment, but will probably open again some day under new owners. After the death of Bob Hughes, the outgoing host of the luxurious Thistledowne at Seul Choix B&B, his family now uses it as a private home. <br> <br clear="all"> <hr> <center> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </center> <hr> <p align="right"><a href="manistique_and_the_garden_peninsula.html" target="_top">Back to Manistique and the Garden Peninsula</a></p> </font> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="37%" valign="top"> <table width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=8 border=0> <tr> <td height="4" width="37%">  <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=1 alt="-"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center" bgcolor="#C7302D" width="37%">  <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" color="#FFFFFF"> <b> <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=8 alt="-"><br> <font size="-1"> GULLIVER<br> RESTAURANTS,<br> LODGINGS<br> & CAMPGROUNDS </font> <br><img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=6 alt="-"><br> <font size="-2">These are our choices, not ads.</font><br> <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=8 alt="-"><br> </b> </font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top bgcolor="#FFE09B" width="37%">  <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=9 alt="-"><br> <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"> <center><font size="-1" color="#C82F2C"><b>GULLIVER<br>RESTAURANTS</b></font></center> <br> <font size="-2"> See also: Blaney Park, Manistique.
