Perfect venue

This venue was incredible. We used as much of the venue as we could and yet there was still so much space. This was great as we could really spread out in a way we often cannot at other venues. The amenities were great, the rooms were all incredible, and the kitchen was large enough for many of us to cook in at the same time. The theater room was a highlight and really sold movie night. I'm definitely going to have to stay here again!

Outstanding location, excellent support and communication with the host.

This property is one-of-a-kind! Not only is the facility something to behold, with it's amenities and services, but the support and communication from the host is outstanding. They were very responsive to all our needs and provided an amazing weekend stay that will not be forgotten. All we can say is if you get a chance to stay at the Nordic Hill Manor, do so! You will not regret it.

Amazing & Perfect 80th Surprise Birthday Weekend!

We had the privilege of staying at Heinz & KJ’s place for our dad’s 80th birthday. The spacious and well-designed venue was ideal for the occasion. The kids and adults thoroughly enjoyed watching movies in the theater and competing in pool tournaments on the pool table. The fully stocked kitchen and the buffet-style dining area made the meal a delightful experience. Heinz, the host, was incredibly helpful and responsive, answering our questions and providing valuable recommendations. Heinz and KJ truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and left a little something special for our dad, which he was very grateful for. Heinz & KJ - THANK YOU!! For helping and being a part of our Dads 80th! The weekend was perfect.

Amazing house for our whole family

We loved the common areas, interesting notes and crannies, the many bedrooms, and the many baths. The kitchen was perfect for us to prepare large meals, and having three refrigerators was a huge help with some of the food that we picked up for a big meal. Same for the multiple ovens, a huge asset. The design has some charming themes, inside and out, and the parking was plentiful. The location is close enough to some great hikes, and Poulsbo was a nice place to go for lunch and a little bit of shopping. The owner was incredibly responsive, and overall it was a great experience!

Magical stay

My friends and I had an absolutely magical stay at Nordic Hill Manor! It is a literal castle and absolutely beautiful inside and out. The house was clean and well-appointed, and the host was responsive and helpful! 10/10 would definitely come back here again! (We're already talking about it. 😊)

Amazing Mansion

The mansion was spacious and had plenty of rooms for everyone. My friends and family had a great time using the various amenities, especially the theater and the hot tub. The owner also went the extra mile to accommodate us, even going as far as to bring us an extension chord to help out. I would highly recommend this place for anyone hosting friends and family for a weekend.

Amazing Experience

We spent the weekend with friends and family, everyone loved this place. It has a beautiful view and everything we needed for a big group. The hot tub was lovely and we all had fun playing bartender while hanging out around the bar. My nephew who visited for one of the days thought this was place the coolest maze, I think some of the adults thought that at times too! This was a really memorable experience for us and we were sad to check out. I hope to spend time here again for another reunion.

What an Incredible Place!!!

The Nordic Hill Manor was the perfect place to house all of our family for a wedding. We were absolutely amazed when we entered the mansion. The place was huge and there were pleasant surprises around every corner. It was like going on a treasure hunt as we discovered each room. The main living area is gigantic and has a great bar area. There are two full sized kitchens, a theater and a separate television room and a hottub. The place was spotless and was equipped with any amenities you could possibly need. As soon as we checked in we started brainstorming about future events that would give us an excuse to come back. If it were possible to give the Nordic Hill Manor 10 stars, we would. Many thanks to the very hospitable hosts, Heinz and KJ. They were excellent at communicating so that our needs were met.

Royally Good Time

We chose this location for our annual Girl’s Trip and had 16 women stay in the manor. We couldn’t have selected a better location. The castle made us feel pampered and like royalty. It had everything we could ask for and more. The property is well maintained and was set up for us with music playing at the entrance and Velkommen cookies in the foyer. The jacuzzi and massage chairs were phenomenal and much needed. It was such a peaceful location and not far from town where we enjoyed the local Viking Festival.

Absolutely delightful!

There were so many amenities we didn't even have time to take advantage of them all during our three day stay. Spacious and gorgeous, the manor comfortably held all 14 of us with room to spare. There was plenty of privacy in addition to common areas where we could gather. It was everything I saw online while booking and more!! From fresh flowers throughout the main floor to custom cookies welcoming us, the hosts have thought of everything. Our group was impressed and delighted from the moment we walked in the door. Love love love it.

Corporate Retreat at the Comfy Castle

Overall, house was wonderful and fully equipped. Immense space and tons of areas to explore. Rooms are well stocked and equipped, there is literally something for everyone.There is a fully equipped bar area, very large dinning room. Home was lovingly quaint, impressive and inviting. Beautiful kitchen with everything you could ever need, including 2 ovens a large stove and even a ice cream maker, just really great amenities. Very spacious and comfortable. All of our needs were met. And as an added bonus the back of the house is a host to many, many, many frogs who lovingly sang us to sleep, lol. Thank you sooo much

Nice property, needs maintenance

We rented this home for a family reunion: 17 people age 8-82. It is spacious, plenty of rooms, beds and baths. The kids loved the hot tub and seeing deer daily. It is very quiet as well. The manager/owner is responsive and friendly. The home a thorough deep cleaning and faucet/drain inspection. My brother repaired 1 sink faucet, and we found the living room sofa foundation had collapsed in one corner. Some kitchen drawers had crumbs and hairs in them.

Great large space, with some allergy issues.

We were looking for a getaway with several couples and friends, and picked this spot for promising a bathroom for each bedroom and plenty of space and amenities. Overall it was a great fit - the theater spaces were very posh, the pool table was used a lot, and having lots of places to sit and read or chat was ideal for us. It’s 15 minutes from shopping so we could stock up and share meals very easily. The major caveat was some mold in the basement bathrooms and a few folks with dust and mold allergies getting sniffles over the week. (Posted mid-Covid and we’re still testing regularly)

Another epic weekend at an epic location

We had so much fun playing board games and card games all weekend. We love the Nordic Hill Manor so much. 100% chance we will return. Only complaint is that the 2nd fridge in kitchen does not keep food at food safe temperatures. It appears not to work. No it was not because the door was a jar. That complicated things. But still, 5 stars because overall experience was EPIC!!

Nice place close to everything with a country feel.

Good overall experience. We booked for 10 people not k owing with Covid who all could come. Ended up with only 8 so the extra bed wouldn’t have been needed. The place is large with a lot of rooms. Nice finishings but nothing too fancy. It is becoming dated and could use some work done. The hot tub was broken so we couldn’t use that at all. Also there is a family that lives in a separate apartment within the property so there are noise restrictions after 10pm. That was unexpected as we had planned a fun evening with friends for dinner and movies. We had to keep the theater quiet. Overall it was a good experience and is recommended for any large groups.

Once in a lifetime castle experience to create unique and lasting memories.

This property was perfect for our Family Reunion. Jaws dropped as we pulled up to this ideal setting. You could feel the attention to detail in every room through the artwork and decor. There was so much space for our 14 guests with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. There was great entertainment inside and out. We enjoyed the horseshoes and volleyball court, giant chess set and exploring the trails. The shuffleboard & pool tables were fun. We had a wonderful time gathering together in the theater room and watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. The massage chairs and indoor hot tub were a hit. The sound system with speakers in the yard was fantastic. There was ample room for parking several vehicles. We have stayed in many VRBOs where the garbage was overflowing before we even arrived. This property had garbage dumpsters large enough for all our trash. The owner, Heinz, was a pleasure to work with. He responded to all my questions promptly from the time we booked the property and throughout our stay. We had a power outage for several hours one day and he kept me updated with notifications from PSE. He also sent me a message when our house was ready for early check-in. That was terrific because our guests were eager to get settled in this once in a lifetime castle experience. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious enough to make cooking together enjoyable. Check-in & out was also a breeze which we appreciated. We absolutely loved our stay. We Highly recommend.
