Location
Exploring the 120 acres of Sisu Creek Retreat is like staying in your own private state park. Nestled in a valley, two creeks run right past the old farmhouse and connect with the Baptism River before they reach Lake Superior. Walk in the flower- and berry-filled meadows of a historic cattle farm from four generations of Finnish farmers. For those who hike, venture on established hiking trails through wildlife-filled wetlands and spruce and maple forests to the peak of the 1,420 ft Sawtooth mountain on the property for a view of Lake Superior.
