Great working staycation!
The property is absolutely beautiful, and the decor is amazing! I have a bachelor of science degree in interior design and this place is spot on. I left some cheese behind as a thank you for my hosts. I really liked the fact that there were smart TVs and every bedroom and in the living room. There was a cute little Bluetooth speaker so I could listen to music or whatever I was watching remotely. I watched surfers, keep in mind that was October, late October, crash on the beach. Always something in Duluth! Fantastic host and great location. I was able to walk up and down the shoreline and actually within walking distance of Glensheen. Well for me anyway.

You walk into n and feel at home. It s a comfortable home with amazing view. If air is chilly you have a couple fireplaces to warm you up or hope in the sauna which is a hit with our family. All accommodations are great. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing rental
We love the North Shore and really needed a few days away for a respite and opportunity to recharge and Meredith's rental was nothing short of amazing. Every attention to detail from comfort of beds to amazing views to fireplaces and a fab kitchen....then to the sauna and the direct lake access. A true gem so appreciated. As an interior designer, details matter as does order and cleanliness and this was honestly a treat for me!

Best besties weekend ever!!
We escaped to the north shore for a weekend getaway as two best friends whose daughters are also best friends. Sisu Shores was the perfect backdrop. The house is so charming and incredibly well appointed. The decor is spot on, the common spaces are generous and perfectly placed, the beds are deep and comfortable, and the special touches too many to mention. All of that is surpassed however by the amazing home location, private beach, and glorious views of Lake Superior. Can’t say enough how truly top-notch this property is and how much we enjoyed our stay. We’ll be back!

Excellent home and accomidations
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!

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!

FANTASTIC Place to stay. We were two families joined together for our kiddos to attend a summer day camp together. Some of us worked from the sun porch and gorgeous view, some of us napped, and the location was great for all our needs. We enjoyed walking to the brewery, seeing the bridges in Lester Park, using the sauna, and more!

It was a wonderful experience, a Beautiful Property and setting. Lots of Stairs. The well appointed Bathroom is on the 2nd floor. The Sauna with the Lake plunge is Fantastic but not for the faint of heart! The views are awesome. The of/on street parking is great! My only suggestion is get some place mats, coasters and other protection for your tables etc. We will check Winter availability…. GREAT TIME! Thanks G

First Renters
We were the first ones to stay in the house and were not disappointed! The house remodel was done beautifully and was a nice home away from home. There were still tags on items so everything was brand new, even the grill! The sauna was a huge hit and felt great with the chilly weather, while watching the snow come down. Location was perfect, almost out of town and right along the shoreline. Sitting out in the four season with the fireplace on, and looking out at Lake Superior was also very relaxing. Would definitely stay again! Couple side notes: - All three bedrooms and one bathroom is upstairs so may be difficult for some if they struggle with stairs. - The old house charm was beautiful but did have some squeaky floors. We had to use a sound machine so our baby would sleep and not hear everyone as they settled in and walked around. Thanks for a great weekend away!
