Great stay in Akureyri
Amazing property just minutes from Akureyri centre, and close to most activities in this area and Diamond circle. The house is comfortable and has everything you need for a nice stay. Our favourite part was the outdoor hot tub, especially late at night while enjoying the spectacular Northern lights (two nights in a row). Looking forward to come back during summer time!

Perfect setting and location for northern Iceland stay
The house was in great condition sitting on the side of a snow covered mountain and overlooking Akureyri. It was overcast every night, yet on our last night it cleared up and we fulfilled our bucket list of seeing the Northern Lights around midnight from the driveway of the house. Highly recommend this house, and before, during and after we left, Thomas was very responsive to every message we left for him.

Fantastic Visit
Our family had a fantastic visit in Akureyri. The house was very well located and was incredibly clean and comfortable. Tons of storage and everything needed in the kitchen, even a great coffee maker. We loved the view, and my kids loved the snow. It was a perfect visit and close to a lot of nearby sites.

Beautiful house
The house is designed for relaxation. Just 5 minutes away from downtown Akureryi but far enough away for a peaceful vacation. Overlooking the city, you won't find a better view.

Outstanding property
This was an amazing home in an excellent location about 8 minutes from Akureyri. The views were breathtaking and we loved the layout of the home. Washer and dryer both worked. We used the hot tub every night and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous modern home perfect for group or family
We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous and well-appointed home. Plenty to do nearby including staying in and appreciating the view. If you have kids, check out the Akureyri Swimming Pool particularly in the colder months when the outdoor thermal pools will blow their minds. Caretaker was very responsive and kind.

Amazing location in Akureyri
Beautiful location and property.. very clean and tidy..well apointed facilities. Great hot tub..lighting was a bit confusing but managed to sort it out by the end (our fault).couldn’t get any tv channels working or the sound system..minor issues really as we was out most of the time..i did find the bedding wasn’t warm enough at night and might suggest bigger and warmer quilt . And only 3 beds made up and couldn’t access any additional bedding.but would recommend this property and we would stay again if we come back to Akureyri.

Beautiful views, great location, perfect for a group.
Views from this house are awesome. It’s quiet, peaceful. Fabulous open kitchen for cooking as a big group. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. House was well equipped, very comfortable. Nice furnishings, beds, and appliances, like you’d want in your own home. Communications with hosts was really smooth. Location is terrific. Just a few minutes to the ring road and Akureyri. Easy access to many sites, great hiking, only 1 hr to Myvatn area.

View of a Lifetime
The property creates an experience that immerses you the beauty of Northeast Iceland. Overall a great place but as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. A couple of features, the washer and dryer, the outdoor hot tub did not function reliably during our stay. Otherwise the ambiance of this place was wonderful.

Short stay in Akruyeri
As part of our round Iceland tour we stayed at this wonderful property for just 3 nights. The location and facilities in the house were faultless. We took full advantage of the Hot tub in spite of a bitingly cold wind. The kitchen/dining/sitting area is immense and well appointed. During our few days here we visited the new Forest Lagoon, went riding and skiing as well as a trip to Husavik home to Eurovision. Our communication with the owner was excellent and no problems were encountered once we got the hang of the light switches !!!

Absolutely amazing!
Wow! The house was a lot larger, more beautiful and more luxurious than we expected! And the view is absolutely amazing! The hot tub is also very nice. The “smart” light system took some getting used to. And not all beds were equally comfortable. But all in all, we had a wonderful stay and would certainly recommend this wonderful place!

One of my favorite places we’ve ever stayed
This place is amazing. Beautiful modern house, super comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen, the most amazing views, perfect location, and quick communication from the owner / property manager. The hot tub wasn’t working when we arrived and they sent someone out to look at it as soon as possible and also were super cool about making up for the days we didn’t have a hot tub (and they got it working by the end!) We were here close to the summer solstice and we’re all dreaming of coming back in winter. We loved Akureyri and the surrounding area and this was the perfect home base and so quiet and peaceful. I’ve stayed at a lot of rental properties for work and pleasure and this is absolutely one of my favorites ever.

Love this house!
This was our second stay at your home and it was another amazing trip to Iceland, this time with my sister and adult niece. We caught the northern lights twice from the back deck and they didn’t disappoint. Ending the day in the hot tub and with a fire in the fireplace was the perfect relaxation we needed. The house is comfortable and a great jumping off location to do lots of things in the north. We went dog sledding, snowmobiling, visited Myvatn and the Vogafjos farm. I wish there was more snow but we enjoyed our stay regardless! Thank you!

Big and bright house, a lot of space
House is great. big and bright. The inside it might be more of a villa. It is out given for eight people but only has 3 beer glasses and 3 red vin glasses. The lamp in the living room is broken and taped up and tv old and small. Outside is a big terrace but no comfort in sheers or anything there . Also I would recommend cleaning stuff for the guest if they need.
