If you need a winter outing that feels more “romantic Scandinavian retreat” and less “why do I live on the surface of Hoth”… Nordic Village at the Four Seasons just answered your prayers.
The hotel has officially reopened its Nordic Village for the 2025 winter season — and it might be the coziest thing you do all year.
At its heart, Nordic Village is simple: private cedar cabins perched on the hotel’s outdoor terrace. But these aren’t your typical rustic shacks. Think heated interiors, candlelight, warm wood, soft blankets, and a full view of the Minneapolis skyline glowing back at you. It’s equal parts chalet, hygge fantasy, and elevated city experience.
Inside each cabin, you’ll get a dedicated server and a Nordic-inspired menu featuring wood-fired dishes, smoked trout dip, hot cocktails, and winter comfort food that somehow manages to feel luxurious. It’s the kind of meal where the temperature outside doesn’t matter — you’re wrapped in warmth, candlelight, and that “am I in a movie right now?” kind of atmosphere.
And because the cabins are fully heated and enclosed, you get all the charm of Minnesota winter with none of the wind-chill trauma. Bless.
Reservations typically book fast and cabins are designed for groups of four to eight, making it perfect for a winter date night, a girls’ night out, or that one gathering where you want everyone to think you’re effortlessly magical.
If you check it out, send me your photos — I will gladly live vicariously through your winter glow-up.
