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!

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.

This is my husband & I's first time staying at this property.We absolutely loved the location! Nothing says relaxation like being beachfront!Amenities galore but we spent most of our time on the sun porch, deck or down on the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

My wife and I had a nice quick weekend stay here. The house is very nice. We stayed in early April so it was a little cold for a bonfire or sitting on the deck, but the Sauna was very nice
