Wow. This place was amazing. Not only was it beautiful and cozy, but the host pays a high attention to detail on the property to ensure a great stay. We had all the supplies to cook meals, blankets, board games, and even black washcloths for make-up. I really appreciate all the effort put into this property it felt like a home away from home. The host was responsive to all of our questions, and overall I think we had a perfect stay. Can't wait to come back.

An overall wonderful house! I love old houses and this one has kept its character over the years. Lots of comfy furniture for us to sit on and visit. We actually only used the outdoor furniture and the porch furniture because it was so nice outside. My friends were thrilled that I found this house. Thanks for sharing this beautiful space.

One of THE best rentals on the North Shore if you want to be near Canal Park and have quick access up the shore. We can't wait to stay whenever we book. It is so well-appointed and provides guests with ultra comfortable beds, many options for cozy activities or resting and an amazing back porch/sauna/lake experience. 20 out of 10!

Sisu Shores was a perfect getaway from the busy twin cities. I was able to enjoy some quiet family time in the comfort of a property that perfectly supported the needs of our family. The house was clean, comfortable, provided high quality kitchen experience, and beautiful views (including Canal park in the distance). The water pressure was phenomenal and the bathroom was spotless. The sauna was a perfect compliment to the property that allowed my husband and son to learn about his family’s Finnish roots and cold plunge into Lake Superior. It’s close to parks, a grocery store (which had surprisingly great prices), pleasant community, and close to spaces that allowed our family to explore all that Duluth has to offer.

Beautiful winter stay on shore of Lake Superior

A beautiful home that was beautiful yet simply decorated. A perfect place that gave us the ability to relax and enjoy time with family. The spacious kitchen was fully equipped to cook meals, we ate at the dining room table or back porch table. Favorite place to relax was comfortable sofa on back porch with gas fireplace, perfect to watch the winter storm on the lake. Questions were answered quickly and we added extra night due to weather . A lovely visit!

Very cozy, beautiful lake views

We stayed here with our 2, 7, and 10 year-old kids. We basically lived in the back room with the cozy fireplace and incredible Lake Superior views! We took advantage of the grill for cooking dinner, and were able to get the sauna heated up with ease. Almost every night was spent at the dining room table playing a game from the game cabinet! Overall, a fantastic place for my family to unwind and enjoy the lake!
