Danielle was excellent and checked in on us and our needs upon arrival and was very responsive to any questions or feedback including recommending a beach that felt like a special find! The house was conveniently close to Munising and had all of the kitchen and cooking needs we needed to make dinner or lunch every day. We will look to book again next time we're visiting the area.

Centrally located

This house was our home base while exploring the UP. We traveled from Copper Harbor to Drummond island. Walking in the door after our long days exploring felt like home.

Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay at Christmas! The house kitchen was stocked so we could make multiple meals. Multiple towels and blankets! Hot was great after a day of hiking. This was our first time in the UP and found the house in a great location to so many adventures. Danielle gave us great info and suggestions! We will be back!!

Perfect Michigan stay

Santa’s Shack was a perfect location in the U.P. To make as our home camp between Pictured Rocks and Marquette. It had great location within walking distance for supper. Hot tub was amazing on the cool evenings. Danielle was quick to respond and made sure we had everything we needed. Reccomend!

Great house for family stay

Great house, we had "whole house" which included a ground level unit that had 1 bed room, full kitchen, bathroom and living room with pull up sofa bed. There was an upstairs with another full kitchen, loving room, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Kitchen and bathroo s were well stocked. Hot tub was great!

UP Marathon Stay

This location was perfect for the UP marathon and many beaches and activities. Great for big crowd. Only suggestion would be to remove Teflon pans and replace with steel which are much healthier to cook with.

Merry time in Christmas

The house was perfect for us and everyone had their own bed! We rented both floors and as we were the grandparents, we had the lower level to ourselves! Perfect location to drive to Munising which was just minutes away. 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!

Danielle was very helpful with our arrival. We were running later than expected so she went and turned lights on so we were able to find our way much easier. Danielle always communicated before and during our stay.

Cozy and roomy!

Our family loved our getaway to Santa’s Shack whole house! There were seven of us, and we all had our own bed with plenty of space to hang out as a large group or individually. The house was fully equipped to meet all of our needs, and the hot tub was a great addition! It was easy to find, and located with quick convenient access to restaurants, waterfalls, hiking trails, and the casino. We would definitely stay here again. Danielle even allowed us to show up early due to the storms approaching which we were so grateful for! Renell

Summer in Christmas

We had an outstanding week in this comfortable house. It is close to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Marquette, to name two options. We were only limited by our energy- there was so much to do! And when we returned after a day of exploring, we were able to soak in the outdoor hot tub and prepare food in the well-appointed kitchen. The beds were comfortable too. When we had questions, the owners were quick to respond. We'll be back!

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.

We enjoyed how unit 2 and 3 connected. It was like having a in law suite downstairs. My parents enjoyed moving freely about while the kids slept. Very easy drive to Munising- less than 10 minutes. Very safe. My toddler loved the Christmas vibe in summer! We enjoyed the hot tub. We also were thankful we could enter downstairs, kill any mosquitoes that joined, then open the door! Thanks for a great stay!

Great Stay!

This house is amazing!! 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!!
