About this property

Santa’s Shack Whole House - Near Pictured Rocks

Pictured Rocks Family Rentals welcomes you to Santa's Shack Whole House! This is actually 2 apartments, Santa's Shack Upstairs and Downstairs, connected by a laundry room so you can go from 1 unit to the other without stepping outside :) Home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms. Conveniently located right behind gas station and walking distance to Foggy's Steakhouse and Casino. Christmas trailhead is only a couple blocks away. Home has tankless water heater so no cold showers!

This home is 2 separate listings that we have combined into one to offer a location for larger groups that would like to have at least 2 bathrooms and more beds for their stay. This rental does not include Santa's Shack Studio unit located on same site. We added an on demand water heater so nobody has to dread taking the last shower in a large group, lol. The home is heated by natural gas wall heaters that do get hot to the touch, so please be careful with young ones. This home has 3 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is upstairs with a queen bed. Bedroom 2 is upstairs with a queen bed and a full on bottom/twin on top bunk bed. Bedroom 3 is downstairs with a queen bed and a private entrance to bathroom 2. The downstairs living room also has a queen sofa sleeper.

Guests have access to whole house, they do not have access to the separate Santa's Shack Studio Apartment building onsite.

We live nearby if you should need anything but will not come over unless you ask us to. If you have any questions/concerns, please message through the app or text, or call if it is an emergency.

Walking distance to Foggy's Steakhouse, Christmas Casino, gas station/party store, and less than a mile to snowmobile/ORV trailhead. Less than 5 miles to downtown Munising and all of the Pictured Rocks boat tours, kayak rentals, etc.

There is a large, wide driveway in front of the home and another driveway to the right of the buildings that all guests are welcome to use. For getting around, we recommend your own vehicles, unless you are coming to ride snowmobiles/ATVs. There also is a bus service called Altran, but you should call ahead to schedule pick ups/drop offs.

About the host

Hosted by Danielle Kolbus

Host profile image
My husband Kevin and I have been managing vacation rentals since 2016. We enjoy providing lodging and a place to call home for others to share the beauty of this amazing area. He was born and raised in the area, while I am from the lower peninsula.

Why they chose this property

We have this property because it was included in a package deal from the previous owner of the White Pine Lodge. We love the functionality of being able to offer a place that can sleep up to 18 when reserving all 3 apartments and the bunk house (called Santa’s Shack Triplex), yet also can accommodate smaller groups comfortably.

What makes this property unique

We added a hot tub in the winter of 21 that is for all the units to share. We love the functionality of being able to accommodate large groups or a few small groups.
