Accessibility

Neighborhood

Nordhus is located about three miles North of Lutsen Mountains, 16 miles South of Grand Marais, and just steps from the Norpine Trail System—the ideal base for exploring the North Shore in any season. Ski, snowshoe, and hike right from the front door, or explore Lake Superior’s rugged shoreline just across the road.

Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire property, with the exception of one storage closet and the mechanical room. Prior to check-in, you’ll receive a code for the digital locks on the main entrance, lower level, and garage. The garage is also available for your use — perfect for storing bikes, skis, snowboards, and other gear, with racks provided for your convenience.

Good to know

Nordhus is a spacious 4,400 sq ft retreat nestled on eight acres of cedar, birch, spruce, and pine. A private gas fire pit and spacious main deck invite gathering and relaxation, while a floating balcony offers stunning lake views for watching the sun rise or stargazing. Inside, an open-concept layout and floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless connection to the forest beyond. A locally sourced agate fireplace celebrates the natural surroundings and offers a cozy space to unwind, and the game room promises hours of entertainment with darts, shuffleboard, and arcades.

Other Details to Note

After booking, you’ll receive an email with a link to our rental agreement. We kindly ask that it be signed within 48 hours to confirm your stay. If anything’s unclear, we’re happy to help—just reach out anytime!

The house is beautiful and has so many thoughtful touches from blankets to use outside by the fire to complimentary coffee, tea and spices to shampoo and body wash provided. Nice selection of games, puzzles and books too. Multiple places to go in the house to lounge and relax and the beds are super comfortable. Love the view of Lake Superior from the second floor and if you want to get right to the shore it's an easy walk or drive down the road and to the public park directly across Hwy 61 from Isak Hansen Hardware. You really don't need to bring anything except your clothes and some food. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with too. I would definitely book again if we find ourselves vacationing in the same area in the future.

We had a great stay at Nordhaus. Beautiful home, fully stocked, and a great location. We had two families with 5 adults, 6 children and we had plenty of space. Everyone loved this place. The huge ceilings, watching the sunrise over Lake Superior from the top deck, cozy living room with fireplace, huge windows, a game room downstairs, star gazing and smores sitting around the gas fireplace. Very thoughtful small touches were put in place around the home that made it seem more luxurious than a typical Airbnb (branded coffee mugs, pens, blankets, koozies, etc). Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We did a ton of hiking around the area and had a great trip. Although there were some logistical issues that we faced, Leslie was very responsive and corrected the issue right away. Thanks for a memorable stay.

The lodge was a perfect space for a North Shore weekend. The place was stunning. There was so much for kids to play. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need, including a coffee corner. The fire pit was a hit with the kids. It was the perfect spot to experience autumn in Minnesota.

Although, because of an unforeseen health issue with my husband, we were not able to be there. The other couple we were going with said it was a great place with a lot of amenities. They loved the agate fireplace.
