Sisu Shores was absolutely lovely. The home was cozy, clean and well prepared with any of the necessary amenities a guest might need. Our family enjoyed the provided puzzles and games on the amazing four season porch, toasty from the easy to use gas fireplace. The lake views were excellent, we enjoyed watched the barges come in and out of Canal Park. It was extra special to be able to enjoy the lakeshore. While we didn't have time to take advantage of the fire ring or sauna both are just steps from the lake. I would recommend staying at Sisu Shores to anyone looking for an exceptionally comfortable stay on Superior just a short drive from Canal Park. Thank you, Meredith!

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.
