My friend and I had a fantastic one night stay at The Sunshine Inn- we wish we were spending more time in the area so we could have stayed longer. It was so cute and is run by the nicest people. The breakfast was insanely good and cooked so quickly, was just what we needed before our big day kayaking in Advocate Harbour! We will definitely recommend this spot to any of our friends and family if they’re coming to the area :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very dusty, bedding was yellow, drinking glasses dirty, the room's outside door had open crack in bottom so you could see outside and room smelled very musty. Felt that nobody used that room for a long time and not cleaned. Finally did not sleep there.

The property was very well groomed, freshly cut grass, neat driveway and office. The bathroom area reflected care taken with towels, sink/ tub fixtures. It was great to have a small frig, microwave, coffee/tea making appliances. Table, chairs, bed and dresser are very tasteful too. Everything that you might need has been provided. The breakfast area by the office is cottage chic. There were several delicious breakfast choices. Use of free kayaks, paddles, life jackets are available at the office for use on their lake. Great stay!

Great stay at a fantastic location for day trips.

It was a great place to stay on our 4-day trip to the Parrsboro area. The service and food were excellent and the owners made us feel very welcome. They have put a lot of effort into renovations and it shows. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
