The owners are investing the heart and soul into the motel. They have remodeled the rooms and the exterior of the buildings. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We loved the added whimsical touches on their walkway to Lake Superior. We will stay at Sunshine the next time I travel to the UP, and will recommend it to my friends and family.

Such a cute little spot to stay just outside of town. The owners really love this place and it shows. The room was super tidy and clean and had everything a chain hotel would have. The bathroom light/fan combo is a little jarring so maybe bring a small nightlight. The path leading to the beach was ADORABLE! A cute little trellis and a fairy garden stump to add some magic!

We have never stayed here before but the staff was really friendly upon check in and was even willing to accommodate us if we needed another night...they gave us a little map of area dining and it was just a short walk across the road to the beachfront. I would highly recommend this property plus the rooms were so rustic and cute...Loved it

Wonderful overnight stay - access to a huge stretch of Lake Superior sandy beach. Cute, clean, comfortable room, perfect for this very well-maintained vintage motel. It is clear the owners take pride in the property and care about their guests. They are wonderful and super kind and friendly. They host gathering at the fire ring each night, weather permitting. A great way to get to know the other travelers and the owners. An excellent experience.
