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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Easily one of the best VRBO stays we have ever had. We had 5 adults staying here for a family wedding weekend. House had everything we needed & was located right on the lake with beautiful views. Clean, updated, comfortable beds, nice bed linens, thick towels, well cared for home. Great communication from the owner & very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

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!
