Great location! Couple notes1. There are no tv's so make sure you bring some entertainment (there were a couple board games and books)2. It is like glamping so enjoy a bit of the digital detox its worth it.Amenities were good and wife and i had a great time it was close to a lot of trails and not too far from walmarts and grocery stores.

Our stay at Norsk Haus was honestly next level. From the moment we walked in, you can tell every detail was intentionally designed—clean, modern, but still warm and inviting. It has that perfect luxury-meets-cozy vibe that makes you not want to leave. The space was spotless, beautifully styled, and had everything we needed (and then some). The attention to detail really stands out—this isn’t just a place to stay, it’s an experience. Whether you’re there to relax, unplug, or just enjoy a peaceful getaway, this place delivers. The atmosphere is quiet and private, which made it feel like our own little escape. It was the perfect weekend reset. We’ll 100% be back—and honestly, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something elevated, unique, and actually worth it.

We had an incredible stay at Norsk Haus! This beautifully designed modern home is tucked away in the pines, offering total peace and quiet in a stunning natural setting. The interior is sleek, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed—perfect for a relaxing getaway.Do note that the property is remote, about a 20-minute drive from the main road, with limited outdoor lighting—so arriving before dark is a good idea.The host was responsive and check-in was seamless. If you’re looking for a quiet, stylish escape with unique touches, Norsk Haus is it. We can’t wait to return!

I highly recommend this place,Thor is a great host and he made sure everything was ready for us. The house is pretty amazing, fresh, super clean and well equipped. It’s in a really cool neighborhood as you cannot see or hear much of your neighbors. The nights are amazing as you can stargazing from the patio. The beds are so comfortable we all had a great sleep. We really enjoyed the house and the Nordic feeling of it. The sauna was amazing and great after a day of hiking and enjoying the woods. We loved the location as it is far into the woods, just what we were looking for. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Thor!!

Super awesome cabin

Super awesome place. Great accommodations plenty of supplies. We didn’t have to bring any toiletries. We did bring them, but you didn’t need them. Everything was super clean and easy to use. The driveway was plenty big enough to park our trailer and unload our RZR. The kids had a blast in the cabin has a great layout if you got multiple families that are going to stay. Will definitely stay again.

Great Mountain Getaway

Beautiful home, responsive host, quiet retreat.The home is very quiet and nice. Location was exactly what we wanted for star gazing. Lamps, lamps, lamps would be my only suggestion. There is no mood lighting. It’s either, all overhead lights on in a room at full brightness or none. There are no lamps or dimmer switches to offer a dimmer, more relaxing option. Thats an easy fix :).Fabric softener would be nice as well. ;)We recommend the stay for tranquility for sure.
