Nordic House

Southeast Alaska


One of the more Norwegian-looking of Petersburg's houses, this stunner is raised on stilts above the water and has Nordic trim painted onto its attractive window shutters. There are several rooms (some with a shared bathroom), a cozy shared 'gathering room,' a kitchen, access to a barbecue and a courtesy shuttle for airport/ferry transfers.

Suffice to say it has a good location halfway between the ferry terminal and the town center.
