Velkommen to Petersburg

Petersburg, Alaska is a small community on the north end of Mitkof Island, where Frederick Sound and the Wrangell Narrows meet. Sometimes referred to as "Little Norway," the community has, as you might expect, a strong Norwegian heritage.

Located directly along Frederick Sound, Petersburg offers a variety of unique experiences you're sure to enjoy. Watch humpback whales as they move through the area. Or, take a short boat ride to the LeConte Glacier. And don't forget our Little Norway Festival, when, for four days in May, we celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day.

Join us in Petersburg for these and many other activities. Feel free to contact us for more information.

REVIEWS

I was so fortunate to find the Nordic House for an extended work trip to Petersburg. Room 4 (an entire private apartment) was spacious, clean, bright, and had everything I needed. Being able to cook in my own full kitchen was absolutely fantastic. This place was truly my home away from home. I felt completely safe, and enjoyed the short walk to town. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and kept me going all day! I'm looking forward to staying again! Thank you so much :)

We rented the fishing boat from Nordic house. They were the best hosts and went out of their way to help our group have everything we needed for a successful fishing trip. We have already booked for next year and will be staying in their B&B as well as renting the boat! Thanks for a great time!!

Spent two nights here, taking the ferry northward. Our hosts met us at the ferry and drove us the short distance to the Nordic House. Sweet place! Incredible vistas to the west and a great moving scene of boat traffic in front of you. We were warmly greeted and a lovely breakfast awaited us in the morning. It was a lovely stay, thank you for everything
