We had a wonderful stay. This property was perfect for our family because it gave each family some privacy with their own kitchens and bathrooms but yet we were all together. Loved this property.
Excellent time here at Santa’s Shack Tri-Plex! Well furnished for everything-meals, entertaining, sleeping etc.Great location to many local attractions. Our group of 12 had plenty of room to comfortably enjoy the property.Definitely a five star stay!!!
Everything was great. Highly recommend getting travel insurance though because the highway to the house was closed due to winter white out conditions. Best way to protect both the owner and the guest.

About the host
Hosted by Danielle Kolbus
I met my husband Kevin on a "girls" snowmobile trip in February of 2011. I was visiting from Byron in the lower peninsula and he has lived in the Munising area for most of his life. We got to know each other and fell in love via technology (Facebook and phone calls/texting). We were married on Grand Island in July 2012. After living after apart for the first 11 years of our relationship, I was finally able to move up here in March 2022. We love living near all of our properties and being able to work together to give our guests the personal attention and service they deserve. We love sharing this beautiful area with all who come to visit!

We chose this property for it's great location being close to Foggy's Steakhouse, casino, gas station/party store, close to our trail system, and, of course, being close to the amazing Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We love the flexibility this home offers! It can be 3 separate units, all combined together, or a combination of two units to fit all sizes of groups and up to 18 people. Once we puchased this home, we immediately added a tankless water heater, and later added a hot tub.
