As always, we had a wonderful stay at the Sunshine Shack. The house truly feels like a home away from home. It is always clean and stocked as described. Check in/out is easy. The location is perfect for us. Rich is always quick to respond. Anytime we plan a trip to the UP, the Sunshine Shack is always the first place we look for. We already booked our next stay!

I rented the Sunshine Shack for a long weekend of introducing my 2 exchange students to one of my favorite parts of the USA. It was exactly what I expected: comfortable, clean, and easy to find. The kids enjoyed our evening campfire, playing pool, and Hedbandz. The nearby IGA was convenient for picking up the few items we forgot to bring. Tahquemenon Falls was an easy daytrip, as were Pictured Rocks and Marquette.

Our family had a great time staying at the sunshine shack! Lots of room, never felt like we were on top of each other. The basement game area was great for our teens and adults. Extra fridge in the garage made storing everyone’s food simple. The park across the street was great for the younger kids and a family game of kickball. Just one wish would be for a second bathroom but did not ruin our stay at all. We would definitely stay again!

UP trip
The house was an excellent location for visiting UP, and it was conveniently close to a town with a grocery store. A pool table in the basement was a plus. We played pickleball at the park across the street too.

Centrally located in Newberry for Eastern UP adventures, the Sunshine Shack was the perfect place to unwind after full days of fun. The house is like a home away from home with a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and linens, games and comfortable beds. The home was clean, smelled fresh, and communication with the owners was quick and easy. Will be returning on our next UP adventure.
I don’t know how the Sunshine Shack showed up in my search but, I am so glad it did. It was the perfect house for my family. Unfortunately we were not there to have fun but were bringing my mother’s ashes home. The house was clean, no smells and very roomy. My sister’s family who also rented a house but, in Engadine were not so lucky. We had no complaints for the SS and we all said we would rent it again. JMF

Three night stay with family, we loved the Sunshine Shack!
The Sunshine Shack is conveniently located near downtown Newberry. The house is very cozy and my kids loved the basement area with pool table and games. We had an issue with the refrigerator while there and the owners responded quickly and remedied the situation as fast and well as they could. They were very friendly. We loved the binder of restaurant and activity suggestions (Pizza Place was excellent, we also loved the ice cream at the raccoon store!) Huge empty garage if you need it and a big yard as well. If we ever come back to Newberry again we will be sure to stay here.
