Stay in a Castle in \"Little Norway's\" Quiet Countryside at Nordic Hill Manor

The kitchen was fully equipped, with two ovens and lots of counter space! Three coffee makers. We enjoyed all of the games provided, the pool table, the game table, the indoor shuffleboard. The hot tub and the two massage chairs were a fabulous perk.

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.

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.

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.

I couldn't have chosen a more perfect setting to bring my friends and family together to celebrate my 50th. The space is huge with not only all the basic amenities but also so many extra touches. The movie theatre & hot tub were amazing! We enjoyed the trails and outdoor games as well. But maybe just hanging out in the house was our favorite part. It fits larger groups with ease while still feeling like 'home'. On a more specific note, the beds were super comfortable, the showers had great water pressure, and the AC kept us all cool. Parking was ample, the views were amazing. I can't say enough about this magical place. Last but not least, a huge thank you to Heinz for being such a gracious host and giving us a delightful welcome!

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.

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!!

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!

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 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.

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.

// THE HOUSE ITSELF My family loved Nordic Hill Manor. As we drove up to the property, we were greeted by a mother deer and her two fawns - what a great way to arrive! There was plenty of parking behind the house and in the circle drive - we had five or six cars with us and they were easily accomodated by the ample parking. The photographs online don't adequately capture the grand scale of the interior of the home - its huge! It was really fun to explore the house to find all the rooms (which are clearly labeled) and spaces we saw in the listing before renting - the whole place is a labyrinth in a very good way. I got lost at least twice (if only briefly). :D Upon arrival we were greeted by a nice welcome card, and a box of chocolates from a local sweet shop, ChocMo in Poulsbo. The kitchen was well stocked and was a great place to prepare food for everyone. We took advantage of the theater room as well, which wasa really cool. While the home has certainly seen some wear - its clear the place is well loved and the occasional worn carpet or minor scuff didn't affect our enjoyment of the property in any way. We truly loved our time at Nordic Hill Manor, and I could easily see us considering renting the castle again in the future. This was a family reunion we won't soon forget. // RENTAL EXPERIENCE We rented through VRBO and once completed, the Nordic Hill Manor staff provided clear and prompt communications including a very detailed description of the property, checkin and checkout times, kitchen supplies and many other bits of information we wanted to know ahead of our stay. As the renter - I was able to share the Manor's guidebook with my family and it answered all of their questions. The door code was supplied and gaining acccess to the place was easy. Checkout procedures were clear and expectations were reasonable. Thank you Nordic Hill Manor! We loved our 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. 😊)

We decided to do a micro-wedding here with only close friends and family without seeing the place in person, and we are so glad we did! This spot has everything and more that we needed for bartending, cooking, relaxing, and entertainment. You can tell the place has been well loved and used over the years, but that made us feel more at home. This was one of the best vacations we have ever taken and we are so glad we went here.

This place is a palace with lot of space for everyone, lot of activities for all ages. play area awesome. All rooms and palace is neat and clean, we all enjoyed staying here and love to comeback again for our vacation. Sarrounding nature is awesome

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)

Our group loved staying here. There was plenty of space for everyone. We will definitely stay here again.

We had four different families in the house. All had plenty of room. We even had enough for an 18-year-old that wanted his own room unexpectedly when we arrived. Definitely would love to go back. Lots of stuff to do around the property from hiking to playing the yard games to watching movies to playing all of the fun pool and billiard games downstairs. The bar was a great place to gather before dinner and have a cocktail with the adults as the kids played around the house. The owner of the property came and filled the hot tub and made sure it was up to temp. Very responsive and helpful. The kitchen was nicely stocked with tools and equipment to use. A relatively short drive to downtown Poulsbo which is a great community to walk around in and look at the shops and the water. We also went to Bainbridge Island. Though that was a much busier area to be still beautiful and close to get to. That being said there's plenty to do at the house and not really a necessity to leave but nice that there are places around that are fun to explore. Thank you for sharing this property with the public and allowing us to create some family memories. We look forward to coming back! We look forward to coming back!

We spent 3 days there in beautiful weather in early Sept. One day was spent in the lovely nearby little town of Poulsbo and the second day walking the beach at Point No Point in Hansville, then visiting the beautiful gardens of Herronswood near Hansville. Each bedroom is unique most with ensuite bathrooms. The entertainment centers in and out side of the house are special for large numbers of people. We hope to return in the future. Thank you for helping us spend out 47th anniversary as a group of hikers. Ginger

This is a great get away for our staff retreat. Everyone had a great time. The rooms were amazing

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.

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!!!

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 house is huge, lots of room for the family to stretch around , lots of privacy, car parking, not to even mention the giant kitchen space to cook! I loved the place and will highly recommend your stay here !

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.

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.

We had a gathering with 13 adults and 2 toddlers. The property was beautiful with so many spots for activities and a large stocked kitchen for all of our meals. The hosts were extremely gracious and helpful when we had questions, we will definitely consider staying again in the future!

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.

We've been coming to Nordic Hill Manor for retreats for years now. The space is unmatched and the hosts are always extremely responsive and helpful. Can't wait to come back!

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.

Fantastic manor estate with all the amenities you could hope for. A great event destination. Relaxing rural setting.

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.

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!
