Sweet hotel.
Sweet hotel in between Ontonagon and the Porcupine Mountains. Comfy log cabin vibe. Very clean. Across the street - the hotel has a great beach access with incredible views of Lake Superior and a beautiful beach. Gracious hosts greeted us.

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.
