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

Very cozy, beautiful lake views
We stayed here with our 2, 7, and 10 year-old kids. We basically lived in the back room with the cozy fireplace and incredible Lake Superior views! We took advantage of the grill for cooking dinner, and were able to get the sauna heated up with ease. Almost every night was spent at the dining room table playing a game from the game cabinet! Overall, a fantastic place for my family to unwind and enjoy the lake!

Beautiful winter stay on shore of Lake Superior
A beautiful home that was beautiful yet simply decorated. A perfect place that gave us the ability to relax and enjoy time with family. The spacious kitchen was fully equipped to cook meals, we ate at the dining room table or back porch table. Favorite place to relax was comfortable sofa on back porch with gas fireplace, perfect to watch the winter storm on the lake. Questions were answered quickly and we added extra night due to weather . A lovely visit!

Amazing house right on Lake Superior!
I had a wonderful long-weekend stay here with my husband, baby, and parents. The house was beautiful, well cared for, and stocked with ever thing we needed for our stay. The back sun room looking out on the lake was a great place to read, the location was super convenient, and Meredith was very responsive and helpful. Best of all was the wood burning sauna, which we used every day. Would definitely come back.

Holiday Family Gathering
We enjoyed time spent in Duluth area visiting family. The Lake made us feel as if we were up the North Shore yet still in the city and able to run to a grocery store or establishments close by. Spent time in a beautiful home playing board games and using the sauna. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Awesome place.

We stayed at Sisu Shores and we're really impressed by the home and location. The home is beautiful with impressive views of Lake Superior and it was comfortable for my whole family. My son enjoyed playing in the water and finding stones on the beach and the adults enjoyed the sauna and doing a cold plunge in the lake. I highly recommend Sisu Shores for your next trip to Duluth!

Stylish and comfortable house, gorgeously furnished on the shore of Lake Superior
This is one of the most beautiful vacation rental properties we have ever stayed in. Wonderful amenities and great location an easy walk from Superior Brewery and an easy drive from Glensheen Mansion. If you are lucky enough to be there on a Wednesday evening during the summer go check out the free live music on the grounds of Glensheen. We had a great meal Superior Brewery. Loved our stay!
