We had the most wonderful sisters' weekend at Klarhet! The accommodations were beautiful—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed for a peaceful North Shore getaway. Nicole and Kirk were attentive and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. The kitchenette was perfect for preparing a simple dinner, and we truly appreciated having everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Klarhet is the most unique place I have ever stayed at in my many trips to the North Shore. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating. The dreams and ideas Nicole and Kirk have for this place will have a very positive impact on the land and community and they have an invested staff who are excited to be a part of it all. The dome was so cozy and designed so you have everything you need for a simple, relaxed and unplugged stay. Everything was very clean and beautiful. There were many thoughtful touches such as different types of card games, paint sets, cotton balls, cotton swabs and other things to ensure a comfortable, cozy stay. The farm animals were so much fun to interact with. Jennifer and Oscar were happy to let us visit with the goats on multiple occasions. The babies were so sweet! We can’t wait to visit again and see how it all evolves.

Staying at Klarhet was such a wonderful experience! My friends and I went up to the North Shore to celebrate my birthday, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. Seeing a beautiful starry night over Lake Superior and a gorgeous sunrise every day blew my mind. The dome was cozy and functional and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We especially loved how the amenities were set up in a way to be as eco-friendly as possible with a compost bin and a shower system that conserves water. It truly demonstrates the owners’ mission for having a place like Klarhet. On that note, the owners of Klarhet are great people. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Kirk, who was super friendly and personable. Throughout the weekend, he would check on us when we would bump into each other, which was so welcoming. I even found out I currently live where he grew up! My friends and I felt great that we were supporting such a lovely family. This was my first experience up on the North Shore, and I am so glad that Klarhet was a part of it! I cannot wait to stay with them again.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Klarhet. The dome was beautifully furnished, comfortable and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and the view from our dome was amazing. It felt very private and we enjoyed walking around the property. Location was close to many great hikes, bike trails and restaurants. The abundance board we ordered was very yummy and the board was a pretty keepsake of our trip. We will definitely go back.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Klarhet! From the moment we arrived, Kirk, Nicole, and Sage went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Coming all the way from Raleigh to Minneapolis and then driving to Lutsen was worth it for the warm welcome and hospitality we received. The cardamom tea in coconut milk was a delightful touch, and the fresh farm eggs were a tasty treat. Staying in the dome was a unique and memorable experience. The cleanliness of the place exceeded our expectations, and the setup was perfect for our family. Cooking meals was a breeze, and the kids had a blast upstairs. Kirk even helped us set up a bonfire where we roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the crisp temperatures. A big thank you to Nicole and Sage for the tour of their farm. Seeing the goats and chickens up close was a highlight for our children and gave us a new appreciation for farm life. Overall, we couldn't find a single flaw with our stay at Klarhet. We wholeheartedly recommend this place and give it a well-deserved 5-star rating!
