Snowmobiling trip Feb 2025
Sisu house is a great place to stay for a snowmobiling trip! The house is clean, warm and comfortable and Diane is lovely and personable. It’s an easy short distance to the trails. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for Snowmobilers
This home was perfect for our family of four. We stayed for a weekend of snowmobiling and this location was wonderful. Plenty of space to park truck and trailer. Home was beautiful and was equipped wonderfully. Only suggestion would be a more comfortable couch. Diane was an excellent and very responsive host.

Sisu house
Great place to stay. About a mile to get the snowmobiles to the actual trail but very doable. Super nice place, beds were very comfy. The only complaint i have is its going to cost you 60 more dollars than what this app shows. So much for no hidden fees, it won't let you checkout without it. It's dianes childhood home, she's allowed to be protective. End of the day i would stay here again. Just don't charge me for things i was never going to do.

Beware. Will not stay here again.
Owner charged $100 for "Tire marks on deck walkway." Asked for photo showing the marks, but none was provided. My nephew has a small, kids e-bike that he brought inside one night. I can't imagine that the marks couldn't have just be wiped off. $100 is ridiculous. I think owner was just trying to find something to charge us for since we had five people instead of our planned two. My nephews and brother decided to come last minute. Photos do not depict the house well. It's very close to a major road. Bathroom is in basement. Living room is tiny. Tub was "out of order". Toaster didn't work. Bed was incredibly squeaky. Owner's requirement to come to property and have me fill out a registration card was absurd. I have never experienced that with another VRBO property. On the plus side, house was clean and had plenty of amenities. Despite that, we will never stay here again.

The Cutest Northern Get Away!
The Sisu House was the perfect place for me and my friend to enjoy the fall colors of Northern MN. Situated in Finland, we were the perfect distance away from the hustle of determined leaf peepers, but close enough to local restaurants and roads to explore. My only regret was that we did not stay another night to hangout in the house and read books while rain sprinkled down. Diane is an excellent host, and very welcoming. She also must be a foodie because the kitchen was stocked with all the supplies you would need for making your own meals. I hope to stay here again soon!

Sisu House Stay
House is gorgeous. Diane is lovely. Beds are super comfy, rooms are clean and the kitchen has all the pots/pans/cooking stuff you'd ever need. Diane even provided puzzles, movies, teas, cider, cocoa, books - in addition to so many towels in case needed - fireplace cozy for chilly nights, AC for warmer temps. Wifi was great. Bathroom in the basement was perfect for us - no waking anyone up with toilet flushing or showers! Beautiful backyard with chairs around the campfire and fire wood available too. Didn't get to use the Weber grill, but so nice to have. Communication was top notch!

nice quaint cottage
It was the perfect location for visiting family and seeing our new baby granddaughter who lives in the same hometown. The cottage was clean having everything we needed and loved the a/c since it was a hot humid week. The claw foot tub was out of order and I may have enjoyed a nice bath but it was still a very well equipped home in a nice quiet area.

Awesome place to stay
Me and my sister stayed here for a few nights and it was a wonderful place to stay! Plenty of space and the fireplace was nice! Not too far from Ely or some of the state Parks in the area while still being private. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to stay up north!

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)
