Always a pleasant stay and experience. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. Well decorated rooms to get that rustic cabin experience. They have their communal camp fires in the evening which is fun. And their little beach property across the street to Lake Superior about a 5 minute walk.

We loved Sunshine Motel and Cabins. Exceptionally clean, quaint lodging. The owners were so friendly and accommodateing. The price was well worth it. The ability to visit the lake from their property was a plus! I definitely recommend this lace and would come back.

The rooms were clean, beds and aheets seemed newer. The owners were great and very helpful. We didnt get to enjoy the campfire due to a fire ban, but Im sure it would have been fun.

The property managers were very welcoming. It is a clean, comfortable and reasonably priced facility close to Ontonagon and the Porcupine Mountains. My dog was also welcome, which was a plus! I will definitely stay here again.

Owners are very friendly and helpful. Our room was "wolf" themed and very nicely decorated with a cozy cabin feel. Beautiful location. We were there when the snow was deep and they kept the parking lot well cleared.

Off Season but full occupancy due its charming Owners/Operators, its location [ South Shore Lake Superior ] and its price. An historical facility extremely well Kept-Up and Spotlessly Clean. Will stay there again for next next year's Free-Heel Conclave .
