Great for a Bachelorette weekend

Perfect place for a large group of us. Still felt private enough because most people got their own bedrooms. Plenty of spaces to gather and enjoy activities in the common spaces.

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.

Fantastically Fun!

Staying at the Nordic Hill Manor was incredibly fun. Our large group was able to fit easily and we had plenty of space to hang out without feeling too on top of one another. We enjoyed using the very well stocked kitchen and even watched a movie in the theater. The great room made gathering as a group very simple and the dining area was able to accommodate and seat everybody. We enjoyed finding everyone's perfect glass in the bar area and overall had an amazing time. Heinz was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly. He also went above and beyond to mail us an item we'd left behind. Overall I would gladly stay here again and I am very grateful to have found such a lovely place with such a warm host to spend our weekend.

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 Experience

Our stay was simply perfect. The manor has every amenity we could dream of and for our really large party of people there was a place for each person to find a comfortable spot. Some people preferred socializing at the bar section while others needed to retreat to the massive theater. It was so nice to let the kids run wild through the fields and along the giant chess set. This is the ideal location for people to be together but always find a place they can duck out and relax. It feels like it's own magical kingdom. I simply cannot recommend this venue enough!

Great Modern "Castle"

More bedrooms than you can shake a stick at. All really good finishes. The bar is the best I've ever seen. Plenty of space for kids to run around and hang out in the movie theater room. Most bedrooms have their own bathroom. This is a great place if you can afford it. 15 minutes from downtown Poulsbo which one of the most amazing small towns in Washington.

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.

This place "gets it"

Nordic Hill Manor gets it, when it comes to providing an escape from the ordinary, and a beautiful venue for any type of event. I was pleasantly surprised from the minute I drove up the drive and saw the tower of the castle. Upon entering the front door, I felt like I was royalty. The guest rooms are spacious and provide more than enough room to spread out and get comfortable. The bathrooms are well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen has everything (yes, everything) a gourmet chef needs to prepare an exquisite breakfast, luncheon or dinner. When it comes to relaxation, the massage chairs, hot tub and theater provide more than enough of an escape. We were at Nordic Hill Manor for my daughter's wedding, and I'd love to come back for each and every anniversary celebration.

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.

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.

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.

Nordic Hill Manor 2024 Reunion

This was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in a “real castle”. This 10,000 square foot property had plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and space to keep our family group of 14 happy for two days and nights. We loved the grand staircase, beautiful bar area, fantastic kitchen where we all prepared meals together, huge dinning room that seats 25 where we played games laughing and having fun for hours. Did I mention the elevator, theater, spa in the turret or the massage chairs which we loved. We also took advantage of the extra large outdoor chess and checkers boards along with horse shoe pits. Yes there were minor maintenance issues which did not impact our overall enjoyment of the property and they have been communicated with the host.

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.
