Great Snowy Stay

Excellent property and location. Wonderful views and close enough to town to get what you need, but far enough away you have peace and solitude. The views are incredible. House is very well furnished and comfortable.

Stunning location with great amenities. The hot tub was amazing—we greatly enjoyed using it multiple times. We utilized the kitchen the whole week we were there, and it had everything we needed. We loved the stereo system. The property location would be dark enough to see the northern lights—but we were unlucky with the weather with cloud coverage while we were there. We may have to return to try again.

This was a great location (under 30 min from Akureyri and on all paved roads) with a PHENOMENAL view. Unfortunately, for us, weird white out fogs rolled into the fjord for chunks of our stay. When the skies were clear, though…WOW! Nice big shower (uncommon for other places we’ve stayed at in Iceland) and the place was clean and we loved the huge windows. Two things to be prepared for…no TV (no big deal for us) and no basic items for cooking (no spices, condiments, etc) and bring detergent if you plan to wash clothes.We really enjoyed our stay.

Isolated Bliss

Our family of four enjoyed our quiet stay. There was plenty of things to do during the day: whale watching, waterfalls, lava falls, shopping and dining. The view from the house was lovely and we really liked soaking in the hot pot after a full day of sightseeing.
