About this property
Santa's Shack Upstairs - Near Pictured Rocks
Pictured Rocks Family Rentals welcomes you to Santa's Shack Upstairs! One of 3 units available at this location. The Upstairs includes 2 bedrooms and1 bath with 2 queen beds and a full/twin bunk bed. Great location just off of M-28 behind the White Pine Lodge and less than 5 miles from Munising. It's close to Pictured Rocks, ORV trails, many waterfalls and lighthouses. The casino is within walking distance, as well as Foggy's Steakhouse. If there's a large group, combine with our other 2 units on the same site, and it could sleep up to 18 people and have 3 bathrooms!
The space
This is a second floor apartment and all recently remodeled with the feeling of up north including pine trim and log beds. Home has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The building also has an on demand water heater so you'll never run out of hot water, even if you take the last shower :) While the home is conveniently located right off of M28, unfortunately there is not much for a view or privacy when hanging outside as the apartments all have the view of the back of the White Pine Lodge and the gas station. There is a fire pit to share with the other apartments if you would like to be outside, and you also have your own private gas grill and patio set on the deck. There is room in the shared driveways for parking trucks and trailers and you are only a couple blocks from the Christmas trailhead.
Other things to note:
*There are other rental units on-site
*The outdoor amenities are shared between all units (hot tub, fire pit, parking area, etc)
*Quiet time is 10 pm to 8 am
*There are three 24 hr audio/video surveillance recording cameras facing all exterior entry doors that are motion activated
*No unauthorized guests (people not included on reservation) allowed without preapproval from host
*No animals allowed
*Signed rental agreement and security deposit hold required for all reservations.
*Primary guest will need to send a picture of government issued ID and list names and ages of all other guests in their group.
