THINK BIG: Go Big, Dream Bigger, and Watch Your Back… Bigfoot Might Be Watching! 👀👣

Welcome to Think Big, the official headquarters of legendary adventures, oversized dreams, and questionable footprints in the woods. Here at Sunshine Motel & Cabins, we live by one rule: Go big or go… back inside where it’s safe.

What Does "Think Big" Really Mean?

 Inspirational Take: Life’s too short for small dreams (or small footprints). Whether you’re chasing your goals or a 10-foot-tall, flannel-wearing mystery, THINK BIG and take giant steps toward adventure!

 Funny Take: It means never turning down a second pasty, always packing extra marshmallows for a bonfire, and keeping one eye on the woods—because you never know when you’ll be photobombed by something... unexplainable. It’s about leaving BIG footprints, making BIG memories, and surviving the UP’s mosquitoes (aka flying vampires).

 

So, whether you’re here to track down the Big Guy, join the #BigEater Pasty Contest, or just enjoy the best sunset in the UP, remember:​ Think Big. Stay Big. And if you hear twigs snapping behind you… maybe walk a little faster. 🚶‍♂️💨

BIG REVEAL: SUNSHINE MOTEL & CABINS' BIGFOOT NAMING CONTEST

 

Ladies and gentlemen, forest dwellers of all ages, and dedicated marshmallow protectors, the moment has arrived! Before we unveil the crown jewel of names, let's take a trip down the moss-covered memory lane:

👣 Once upon a time in the misty expanses of the UP, a legend was born, not from the stars but from the underbrush. Known for his elusive nature (and his awkward guest appearances on campsite selfies), he stumbled upon us in 2024. With no resume but plenty of charisma, he became an instant hit at the Sunshine Motel.

💼 Career Update: From Director of Vibes to unofficial moss distributor in our housekeeping department, Stompy Stan (yes, he's got a name now!) even managed to enroll in a 401(k) plan—don't ask us how; our HR is still scratching their heads.

🎉 AND THE WINNER IS... drumroll, please... JOSH M. from Sanford, FL, with the epic, the legendary, "Stompy Stan"! 🎉

🎁 PRIZE TIME! Josh, brace yourself for the "Stan Survival Kit," complete with a flannel-scented candle (to bring the great outdoors inside), an exclusive map detailing Stan's favorite napping spots, and a $50 gift card (lightly pre-loved by Stan's... saliva).

🗣️ STAN'S HOT TAKE: grunt-grunt (loosely translated to "I guess that's pretty cool.")

🔥 What else went down? Runners-up included gems like "Flannel McFluffFace" and "Sir Stomps-a-Lot." Honorable mention to "Yeti Betternot" and "Sassy-squatch." Thanks for making Stan chuckle.

📣 Want to meet the legend himself? Book a stay at Sunshine Motel & Cabins—Stompy Stan might just crash your bonfire (and steal your marshmallows). www.ontonagonmi.com

💬 FINAL THOUGHTS: Remember, a name is forever, or at least until Stan decides otherwise. Stay tuned for more antics and perhaps a new contest—Stan as our 'Nap Consultant'? Only time will tell!

🌲 P.S. To the soul who submitted "Squatch My Ride," we're not a garage, but we salute your creativity!

💌 P.P.S. Josh, check your inbox for details on claiming your Stan-approved spoils!

Meet Bigfoot: From Forest Legend to Hospitality Hero

Before settling down at the Sunshine Motel and Cabins, Bigfoot was living the typical cryptid lifestyle—roaming the dense forests of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, avoiding blurry photographers, and dodging conspiracy theorists.

 

His early days were tough, but he persevered, earning a hard-fought degree from the prestigious School of Hard Knocks. Majoring in Pipe Repair and Wilderness Survival with a minor in Flannel Fashion, he quickly became a jack-of-all-trades. His thesis, “How to Fix a Leaky Log Cabin,” was groundbreaking (and slightly damp).

In the spring of 2024, everything changed. While out for a walk with his son, Bigfoot stumbled upon the Sunshine Motel. The cozy cabins and friendly vibe captured his heart, and he decided to hang up his wandering boots for good. Now, as the motel’s Chief Guest Experience Officer, Bigfoot handles everything from fixing frozen pipes in the crawlspace to entertaining guests with his signature slogan, “Think Big!”

Known for his frosty sense of humor and surprisingly warm hospitality, Bigfoot ensures every guest’s stay is as legendary as he is.

 

When he’s not spinning signs for “Attractions” or posing for photos, he’s sharing wisdom like, “Life’s better in flannel.” Come meet him—you never know what adventures await!
