Danielle is a topnotch hostess and appreciated the extra touches, super clean and comfy! The hot tub was just what we needed after a day of hiking/walking! ##### Jamie B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa C. 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Santas shack The house was very comfortable for the 8 of us. The upstairs(unit 2) is beautiful and very spacious. There is a ton of natural light. We were able to make all of our meals with the supplies that Danielle had provided. The deck is very large and accommodated all of us easily. The only negative was it faces the back of the hotel next store and the main road. The bath is very nice and Danielle has added some extra supplies in case you forget something. There is a part of the bathtub that moves and is too flexible under foot. The stairs up to the unit are quite steep. The downstairs(unit 3) is less impressive. It’s been updated, however it’s dark and much smaller. We tried to use the pullout bed, but the mattress was disgusting looking and very uncomfortable, so 2 of us ended up on the couches. The downstairs bath is very large, but it has multiple levels. You go up 2 steps to the toilet and two for the shower. It’s very awkward and could be dangerous depending on who is renting this space. When you step out of the shower the step bows and the shower floor is slippery. ##### Lisa C.

We rented the Santa’s Shack Whole House with another couple, one couple stayed upstairs and the other downstairs and it was very comfy and set up very nicely. The other couple own a resort in Minnesota so they are always looking for new ideas for their own place and she LOVED it!! She said that if we ever take another vacation in this area we would definitely stay here again! So clean and well equipped! And the hot tub was perfect! And the host was very easy to get a hold of . She answered any questions that came up very quickly. Thank you for sharing your place with us!! ##### Jeanne H.

The owner communicated with us and put the description as best as she can which matches our expectations. The property is very clean, spacious and lovely. She had provided some extra supplies too. I recommend this to anyone in big group! We might come back and stay here again in the future. ##### SHARON C.

This is one of the coziest and cleanest places I have ever rented. Danielle made everything so easy and she was extremely welcoming. This will surely be our go-to place the next time we visit Munising as the location is perfect and the property is plenty spacious enough for my family. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to the pub/grill. The food is delicious! ##### Stacy E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ---
