We enjoyed our stay. It's older but maintained and clean. Nice furniture and themed rooms. The owners are very nice and it felt safe. I saw them lower the flag and fold it accordingly for the night which left a lasting opinion. It's across the road from Superior so there's not a view and you walk a path to see the private beach. (No furniture or anything) the owner had a bon fire started for guests to join which was cool. Pet friendly. Cheerful, good vibes. Easy parking too.

The rooms are perfect for the area's experience. The owner/ managers are very wonderful folks that go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay. The beach access to Lake Superior is a great place to hang out after a day of hiking and site seeing in the Porkies (Porcupine Mountains Wilderness). I look forward to my next stay at the Sunshine Motel and Cabins.

Great property close to Porcupine Mountains. Clean rooms and great access to Lake Superior down a private pathway across the street. Hosts were great and very helpful with restaurant recommendations. Motel is older, so rooms are 'cozy', but the hosts updated the rooms decor to make it very much like home. Love this place!

Excellent vacation stay

Very comfortable studio with kitchen. Very clean and smelled good. Beach access was easy to get to and was maintained well. Walk through a foliage lined path was beautiful. The owners/managers were wonderful…friendly and helpful if needed. We will return to this great vacation spot.
