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!!!

Great place to STAY

The owners were very nice, our room was clean and very comfy. The fire at the fire pit was friendly and very great conversation. The beach was truly a hidden treasure, so gorgeous. I would stay here again.

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.

Meticulously clean

Meticulously clean, welcoming staff, and loved the campfire for all of the visitors. Took the trail to Lake Superior and marveled at the beauty of the wilderness beach and vastness of the lake.

Little gem of a motel just west of Ontanogan. Friendly owners, clean and updated rooms. Price was right. Lake Superior beach is across the road and just a short walk. Would recommend and stay here again, and I’m not much of a motel person.

Sunshine Motel Review

The room had a musty smell. The owners were sweet couple but had a long list of demands that required cleaning up for them upon checkout. This included stripping the bed, emptying waste baskets and sweeping floors, I never heard of a place charging $156/night and requiring cleaning up after yourself to boot! I didn’t like the weird noises the furnace made and the fridge was next to the bed so you heard it running too. The bathroom was very small with little space to hang anything, no hooks anywhere. It was clean but the shower came up to my collar bone and I’m 5 ft 5 in so not a tall person. My partner is 5’11” so had a harder time showering upper body. The bed was comfy bu squeezed a lot.

The owners are fabulous, I was trying to book again for the rest of the month of July and Tony immediately called me to let me know that they were booked for an event and could not accommodate my request. The room was comfortable, just wished there were black out curtains, it stays light late and I had difficulty sleeping.
