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!

Walking into this home, affectionally called Nordhus Lodge, you feel as if you are entering a good friends' home. It is warm and inviting and beautiful. Leslie has thought of everything to make guests feel welcomed and to make their stay as easy as possible. There are various items such as sandwiches bags, tin foil, spices for when we went, "oh I forgot the...". Darling Nordhus coffee mugs were so fun to enjoy! Natural light floods into all areas of this beautiful home, surrounded by trees, and lovely views of Lake Superior. Three couples, along with 5 older teenage/young adult boys stayed in this home. The layout and bedroom situation was perfect! 4 boys stayed in the upstairs room with 4 twin beds and the 5th one stayed in the adjoining room, with a bathroom they all shared. The bedrooms were all decorated beautifully (with the 3 women checking tags to potentially purchase similar bedding for home. :) Thank you for hosting us! I'm already coming up with reasons to return!

We went skiing at Lutsen, and this was the perfect home to stay at. It was beautiful, spacious, clean and only 5 minutes away from the ski resort. Leslie was a great host and was super responsive. Our family had a great time!

This house was incredible!!! I have stayed at several Airbnb's and most homes usually lack decent kitchen pans, dishes, utensils. This kitchen was fully stocked with nice cookware, dishes, and even kids plates/cups/bowls! The kitchen even had seasonings, and oils you may need! She also provides coffee (in k-cups or regular pot) Leslie also had house stocked with cleaning supplies, bathroom supplies like make up remover wipes, shampoo and conditioner and even noise machines and phone chargers! We were all so impressed. They had many games and kids activities. The beds were super comfortable and house was cozy! I would recommend this house 1000/10!
