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

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.

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.

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.

We held our family reunion here with 18 of us ranging from 2 years old up to 76. This was an amazing place to stay. Besides it being large enough for all of us to have rooms and not need to share bathrooms, it is absolutely stunning! From the decorations, to the entertainment. The pool table, game tables, massage chairs, and hot tub were all fun but the highlight was the movie theater! That was the coolest thing ever! And there is an elevator which was a huge surprise for those that struggle with stairs! Big thumbs up and no complaints!!!

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.

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.

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)

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!!

If you want to run a retreat or other overnight gathering for 10-15 people, I can't think of a better venue than Nordic Hill Manor. The number and variety of rooms and amenities create space for a huge variety of activities, and the location feels nicely isolated while still being a convenient 10-20 minute drive to a large number of shops and restaurants.

We opened the double doors to a palatial castle and found a basket of cookies waiting for us. The manor has everything. We host an archery tournament here every year and there simply isn’t a better place, a finer host, or a greater castle on the coast. We love it here.

Such a fun weekend with the girls for my 50th birthday. Great location, plenty of space for 10 ladies and lots of options for entertainment.

Nice place to stay. Large home has plenty of room to move about and not feel cramped. Property was large too but it was too hot out so most time was spent inside. Owner was responsive to our needs (broken toaster, faulty a/c). The only issue we had was the strange skylights or whatever in the one bedroom which kept the bedroom lit up into the night and then early in the morning. Granddaughters had to cover their heads in order to get to sleep. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

Wall Family vacation #35
Our stay at Nordic Hill Manor was FANTASTIC!! It is the best equipped house we’ve ever used for our family vacation - and we’ve done this for 35 years. Decor in all parts of the house is lovely, and yet it was comfortable for our young great-grandchildren. We’d definitely recommend this location for families, corporate meetings, or any groups of friends who want quiet and togetherness.

Perfect Retreat
This property is *extra* and makes for a lot of fun. I love the owner's dedication to fun glass and service ware. The theatre is so fun, the bedrooms are all very private, and the amenities are just what was needed. this place is not fancy in the way that makes you feel on edge- it invites you to make yourself at home.

Just stayed here for the weekend with 10 other women and had an absolutely amazing time. Six of the seven bedrooms had their own bathrooms and several had kitchenettes. The house had everything you could want and more including two full kitchens, a bar, movie room, another large tv room and lots of games. The owner was extremely responsive. Will definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Nordic Hill Manor or the 'castle' as our grandchildren lovingly referred to it. They did wonder where the King and Queen were :) There's so much to do at the home or on the adjoining grounds from watching movies, playing pool, outdoor hikes, checkers and horseshoes. Even an indoor hot tub! The kitchen was well equipped to allow us to cook many of our meals there. Heinz was so helpful and kind to answer any questions I had. Several of our grandkids cried when it was time to go. They didn't want to leave. If you're looking for a home to entertain 15 grandkids and 9 adults - this is for you!! We made lasting unforgetable memories during our stay there!! Thank you Heinz and KT
