Nordic Hideaway on Silverthorn Lake - Little Sisu

About this space:

Tucked beneath towering pines on a quiet, spring-fed lake, Little Sisu is a modern Nordic-inspired cabin designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and breathing a little deeper.

Start your mornings with coffee on the deck overlooking the water. Spend your days paddling, swimming, or exploring miles of nearby trails. End the night by the fire, listening to loons echo across the lake.

This isn’t just a cabin—it’s your private Northwoods reset.

The space:

Newly remodeled with a clean, Scandinavian aesthetic, this 550 sq ft cabin feels open, calm, and intentionally designed.

Vaulted ceilings and oversized windows bring the outdoors in, filling the space with natural light and lake views. Every detail is curated for comfort without clutter.

Inside you’ll find:
- Queen Tempur-Pedic bed
- Walk-in tile shower
- Fully equipped kitchen + dining peninsula
- Queen sofa sleeper (memory foam)
- Two oversized leather lounge chairs for unwinding
- Samsung Smart TV
- WiFi + cell service

Outside is where it shines:
- Private dock with seating on spring-fed Silverthorn Lake
- Kayak + canoe for exploring the quiet, motor-free water
- Fire pit under the pines + overlooking the lake
- 10’x12’ deck perfect for coffee or evening wine
- Weber gas grill + picnic area

The experience:
Little Sisu is built for simple, memorable moments:
- Morning swims in glassy, quiet water
- Paddle to the nearby sandy beach park – new pickle ball courts
- Long bike rides on world-class CAMBA trails
- Ski days on the legendary Birkebeiner trails
- Fireside nights under a sky full of stars
- Morning and evening walks to the Namekagon River

Whether you're here for adventure or stillness—you’ll find both.

Location:
Located in Seeley, perfectly situated between Hayward and Cable:
- Minutes to Birkebeiner ski trails
- Access to 300+ miles of CAMBA biking trails
- Walk to the scenic Namekagon River
- Walk or paddle to Silverthorn Lake Park (great for families)
- Surrounded by over a million acres of forest, lakes, and wilderness.

Perfect for:

- Solo travelers needing a reset
- Outdoor enthusiasts (biking, skiing, paddling)
- Small families or close friends

Good to know:
- Located on a quiet lake (no motorized boats)
- Peaceful, nature-forward setting (not a party property)

The cabin was very clean and well appointed. It was perfect for me, spouse, and dog and the area was lovely in the fall. The only surprise was how close the neighboring properties were; however the lake only has about 10 properties so I expect it would still feel quiet even if everyone was there.
