Stayed 2 nights on our way between Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. Place was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and it was a good location to explore the Minnesota coast of Lke Superior up to Grand Portage. We would stay here again.

I love this house! The comfy vibe of the house and the location a few miles up the hill from the big lake make it a peaceful location away from the bustle of highway 61. It is quiet up there with a nice kitchen area to sit and play a game at the table or enjoy a conversation across the table or into the open, adjacent living area.

The house is beautifully built and furnished. The only thing that didn’t work for us is that the queen size bed needs replacing. Also it was not the best for us that the bathroom is on the lower level from everything else.

North Shore Getaway

We very much enjoyed our stay at Sisu house. Diane was very welcoming and had everything we needed. Our kids enjoyed the fire pit and looking through the books about Minnesota while relaxing in the living room. There is so much to do nearby, we explored several state parks. We would definitely stay here again!

My 2 children and I stayed here for 3 nights while we explored the North Shore. The location was perfect for driving up and down the shore. The house was on a beautiful and quiet property. Very neat and clean with a lot of homemade items that have a warm and inviting feeling. Stocked with games, books, info on the north shore. Host was very nice! Would love to stay again.

Perfect for a long weekend stay

What a cute and comfortable place to stay. A perfect “home” away from home for sightseeing, hiking and exploring from Jay Cooke State Park up to Grand Portage State Park. Very clean, did some grilling and cooking, but also ate out some. Not so expensive you felt you had to eat there for every meal.Thank you! Hope to be back again sometime.

Sisu house

Very clean and well kept. If you come with babies, consider bringing a gate for the stairway. Bathroom is downstairs, living area is upstairs. Owner was helpful and obviously loves this little house. Would definitely recommend bringing bugspray if you plan on being outside later in day. Will stay here next time we come.

This is my childhood home, recently & totally renovated. We are proud of our Finnish heritage and that's why we chose the Sisu name. Sisu in Finnish means tenacity in the face of adversity, guts, 'stick to it'- tiveness

What makes this property unique

We wanted to keep the feeling and charm of an older home. But we do enjoy and have installed modern comforts (most recent: central air conditioning and WIFI)
