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 HWH 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
