🌿Take the Scenic Route This Spring: A 3-Day Weekend at The Nordic Inn

Spring doesn’t always have to be about packed itineraries and busy destinations. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down, taking the scenic route, and noticing the little things along the way.

When you stay at The Nordic Inn, you’re perfectly positioned to experience a quieter, more relaxed side of the area. Explore beyond the well-known stops and into the moments that make a getaway truly relaxing and memorable.

Here’s how to spend a spring weekend with us:

Friday:

Arrive in Erickson, grab some lunch and snacks for the weekend, and check in.

Start your stay with lunch at Kamminga's Kitchen & Bakery, a local favourite that’s perfect for a relaxed, no-rush meal. Afterward, take a short walk to Lakeside Sweets and pick up a few treats. Make sure you stock up for the weekend ahead!

Spend the rest of the afternoon settling in, exploring the area, or simply unwinding. Spring evenings are quiet, calm, and the perfect way to start your escape.

For supper, head down to McMunnys Restaurant located in the same building as The Nordic Inn (hotel guests receive 10% off!). Grab a craft beer or your favourite cocktail and pair it with one of their many delicious menu items. Hang out by the fire place or at the bar and enjoy watching your favourite team on the big screen.

Saturday:

Wake up slow & start with coffee!

We provide guests with complimentary Forbidden Flavours coffee in the shared guest kitchen. Basic cooking utensils (pots, pans, cutlery, plates etc.), a toaster, microwave, stove, and oven are also provided to cook your favourite breakfast.

After breakfast, head out for a simple kind of adventure. Ride your bike down a gravel road, where the only sounds are the breeze and your tires on the ground. Keep your eyes open as you explore. Spring is full of signs of life returning. Tracks in the mud, birds overhead, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of wildlife waking up for the season 🐻

Travelling with Family:

We recommend heading into Riding Mountain National Park for the afternoon. Take a relaxed drive or walk to look for wildlife. Head to the Visitor Center to learn something new. Don't forget to bring a picnic for lunch or dinner! There are plenty of fire pits for roasting hot dogs. Forget something? Stop by Clear Lake Trading Post or Co-op Grocery Store for all the essentials!

Travelling solo or as a couple:

We recommend heading to the Klar So Nordic Spa for an afternoon of relaxation. Bring your favourite book and your appetite! Make sure you add the Spa Pass on when you make your reservation with us. It will be waiting in your room when you arrive.

Grab supper at one of the many restaurants in the area and head back to The Nordic Inn for a cozy evening and a well-earned rest.

Sunday:

Start your final day with a slower pace.

Grab your coffee, take a walk around town, and then head over to Good Street Hall for a yoga session with Shane. Take a moment to stretch, breathe, and fully unwind before heading home.
