If you are looking for a downtown 5 star hotel - this is not for you. If you are looking for a 5 Star Upper Peninsula experience- this is it. The room took me back to a time long ago when we did road trips in the family cruiser. Up north cabin feel. Beautiful woodwork. Super comfy Log bed and log dinette. Updated and meticulously clean bath. Kitchenette with everything you need. Coffee pot with starter packs. Ice and hair dryer available at the office. Grounds are cute. Again - Vintage mixed with the new. People are all sweet in the courtyard. We sat outside our room and played dominoes. And the beach. It was a summer day in July. I don’t have to say a word. Just go.. If you love the UP for the total package of its history and beauty- This is for you.

From the minute we arrived to the time we left, our visit was unique and special. Our room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were well maintained, as well as a nice beach access across the street. Enjoying an evening bonfire with the owners and fellow guests added a touch of magic to our trip. Our hosts and owners, Tony and Nou, went above and beyond to introduce us to the beauty of this area. Their hardwork and commitment to the guests of The Sunshine Motel is a labor of love.

First time here. Loved how they decorate the rooks with a scene our room was a black bear theme. The owners are very welcoming people friendly. They have a nice area for picnics bbq tables and grills. They even do a non fire when weather is good. They sit out and talk with you. We loved everything about this place. Short walk to beach

We were going to be a little late for check in due to traveling so we called per and were told it was no issue. When we arrived we were greeted by name and the owners were extremely friendly. Check in was fast and easy and we were in our room in no time. The room was clean and adorable (fishing themed!) and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again when I’m in the area!!!

Sunshine Motel Shines with Private Beach

The private beach access is a hidden gem when staying at this hotel. Quiet and peaceful opportunity to sit on the small beach without a bunch of other people to simply listen and watch the water. Room was clean, quiet, and had amenities needed and the owners were very friendly.
