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!

A retro vibe motel with spacious and well kept rooms. Check in was easy and friendly. The room had nice decor which matched the area vibe. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area and just down the road from the state park.
