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.

Small, cozy, clean place I would stay again.
Cozy, very clean, not a lot of extras, but nice to stay in a place that makes you feel at home and not at busy motel. Wild life decor done up very nice.

Sunshine Motel and cabins were decorated as you would expect for Up North locales. Path to the beach across the road.

The owners were so friendly and accommodating! You must access the lake from their path across the road! They have a beautiful arch with lights leading all the way down. The stars & moon were stunning over the lake the night we stayed. It’s not a fancy hotel, but clean & quaint. (Bed was pretty comfy too!)

Friendly
Very friendly owners, great location. The only thing I would change is to put hooks in the bathroom to hang wet towels, toiletry kit, clothing.

We liked the Retro feel of this Motel. The furnishings were simple (room #7) The kitchenette was adequate. Could've had a few hooks to hang a jacket or towel. We used the area beneath the clothes rack to set our luggage on the provided rack. The owners are a wonderful welcoming couple who seem willing to do anything to make the stay a good one. There was a nightly campfire, weather permitting, and the trail to the beach (across the road), was well marked and charmingly lit with tea lights in canning jars attached to the trees. We loved it!

Sunrise after the Rain
Sunrise Motel and Inn lived up to its name! We got rained out of the Porkies’ trails and had to come out a day early. The owner welcomed us warmly and we were in our cozy room, showered/bathed and happy shortly after checking in. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is basic but very clean and has good water pressure. Overall it made for a very nice end to an already wonderful trip

8/10 Very good

A great quick stay. Staff/owners were so kind and helpful. The room was as to be expected, a little musty smelling and made the allergies flare, but otherwise clean enough and had cute decor. The private beach access was super neat and was our favorite part. Overall the whole property is quiet & well put together. They do a nightly bonfire; we didn’t partake but the notion was nice. We’d stay again!

SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, very comfortable beds, fantastic staff, charming decor, easy commute to Porcupine Mountains, wonderful beach across the street, will definitely stay here again if in the area!!! Doesn’t serve breakfast but not a major concern for me. Would be nice to have a shelf or hooks in the bathroom. Absolutely loved this hotel!

The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and nicely decorated, with an Up North theme. The hostess even brought me extra sugar from her kitchen when the packets in the room were not enough for me. (I use a lot of sugar.) My daughter loved the sandy beach with an illuminated pathway to get there. The outdoor facilities were nice, including chairs by our room, picnic tables, grills, and a fire pit. My only complaint is I could not find an outlet in the bathroom. Altogether, we had a nice stay. We recommend this place!

Friendly staff that have a charming set up with outdoorsy decor in the rooms. Very sporty and of the area. Room was exceptionally clean. Loved a real coffee pot with which I could pour a pot of coffee. Nice to have plenty of caffeinated coffee instead of having to ask for more. No decaf here! Thankfully! Loved the lighting which was warm and calming. I could imagine how cozy that would be on a snowy day. Comfy bed.Cozy, warm and comfortable all around.
