This is our 5th time staying here for a perfect winter weekend. Snowshoeing in back yard. . Hiking on SHT minutes from cabin Xc skiing. Sitting by fire.
The Sisu House was perfect for our needs. It had everything we needed and was in a good location for access to the various waterfalls and hiking trails.
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.
The host, Diane was so warm and welcoming and helpful. Sisu house was cozy, adorably Finnish and thoughtfully stocked with everything you would need and more. They even have wood for the firepit. It is an outstanding location - quiet, peaceful, and just off the main Hwy 61. Perfect location for main sites like Gooseberry, Split Rock, Tettegouche, Temperance River. We highly recommend!
Wonderful peaceful stay in a comfortable home. Owners did a great job updating the property. We were very comfortable and appreciated the ease of working with vrbo and the property owners.
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.
This house was perfect! Very well kept and clean. Had everything we needed. You can tell a lot of love and thought went into this place when it was remodeled. Thank you for sharing your childhood home!
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!
Diane is a wonderful host! Sisu house is clean and adorable. The outside space is lovely and peaceful. Diane goes above and beyond to make sure her guests have everything they need. We had a fabulous time on the North Shore.
The house is beautifully built and furnished. The only thing that didnât 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.
Another relaxing and fun vacation! The Sisu House is our go-to every winter. The hosts provide wonderful accommodations and are very responsive. We appreciate the opportunity to stay here year after year!
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.
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
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)
