A wonderful property in an incredible place
Stunning and convenient location for the town and airport yet felt like a sufficient distance away, wonderful modern property that was perfect for our family (of seven), lovely hot tub, great location for Aurora spotting and forest lagoon. Friendly and communicate hosts who interacted with us at all stages. A wonderful first visit to Akureyri - we will be back again soon!

Great stay in Akureyri!
Well stocked house with great location - outside of the bustle of town but close enough to quickly access everything. Forest Lagoon just down the road was perfect for a relaxing dip, they are even open late so you can stop by after dinner! Hosts were responsive and helpful. Would stay again if back in the area!

Fabulous stay!
Beautiful house! Huge and well equipped. Lovely and warm. Worth noting that the sofa bed in the fourth bedroom is only really big enough for one adult or two children. Also worth saying that there is no TV in the house- didn’t bother us as we were out a lot, but it might bother other people. The house is very tech heavy- which was a bit tricky as the main screen in the kitchen didn’t seem to be working but we figured it out through trial and error. We would definitely be back- loved it!

The home was beautiful and expansive, and was perfect for our family of four. The garage was a great feature for moving children and luggage during the cold. And the home was very close to the town which made our stay convenient. Would definitely stay again , amazing value also.

Wonderful stay in Akureyri
On our three week Iceland road trip in Sept/October. Akureyri was definitely a highlight: 1) Spacious house in a quiet area. 2) Beautiful view of surrounding snow cap mountains 3) One evening we saw the best Northern Lights of our entire trip so far. We went out on the porch noticed some lights and then saw some brilliant ones 30 feet outside front door. 4) Excellent proximity to Kelli Whale watching and downtown.

Home was amazing with beautiful view!!! Close to many attractions. The Forest Lagoon is minutes away and a fabulous place. Clean, comfortable, spacious and modern. Hot tub was nice even watched the Northern Lights while relaxing. Only suggestion is to bring toilet paper, paper towels and storage bags. Would visit again!!!

Incredible view, lovely home
This was a beautiful home in a convenient location (short drive to everything), amazing views. I often hesitate renting private homes as the online listing can be different from the actual home but this one was accurate and we really enjoyed the stay. Forest lagoon is only 4 mins away so we went twice, as well as drove to the Godafoss Waterfall, Myvatn, went fishing and on a Whale watching expedition. Absolutely loved Akureyri and our stay.

Beautiful home is gorgeous area
This home is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, the showers pleasant. The hot tub filled quickly. I was overall happy with this home. A helpful note, the home is outside the delivery range for Wolt (or I don’t know how to input addresses…either one is possible) so hit a place for take out or the grocery store before you settle in. We were beat from our drive from the Golden Circle and didn’t want to go back out, but we had to because of the no delivery situation. There is nothing within walking distance. But that fact does make the view spectacular. I would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular Location and Property
We had a short as we were working around the ring road but this was our longest stop. The location is great, short drive into town and a good base trip explore the nearby geothermal areas and northeast in general. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was great! The view is so relaxing! Great Place!

We loved this home, especially how large it was! Hot tub was nice with a wonderful view, but know it takes about 1.5 hours till it is ready. Super nice master bath and larger than normal bedrooms. Plenty of space! Top notch! Convenient location.

Incredible house just a hop, skip and jump outside of Akureyri!
We were blown away with how spacious and beautiful the house was, and even more amazed by the stunning view of the mountains. Served as a great central spot for 3 nights to venture around the area and up to Husavik. The hot tub was easy to use and we took advantage of it each night. Perfect kitchen for making at home meals and more comfortable living room than most offer. The host provided so much information on what to do and see. We were sad to leave!

Arctic Open
We came to Akureyri for the Artic Open. The house was perfect for us. The hot tub was fantastic and the house was fully stocked. Having the washer/dryer with soap was great too. Really appreciated our stay and would highly recommend. Beautiful view. Just remember to bring toiletries (none provided; we didn't notice that in the listing).

Beautiful location, modern, clean, yet cozy
While the snow blocked us from enjoying the first night, we managed to white knuckle drive theough late hours to arrive early morning the second night. Immediately we were disappointed that we missed a night this location was amazing, really its walking distance down hill to the Forrest lagoon, and a 5 min drive into town. Beds were comfortable, it was extremely clean and the old school classic hot tub looked perfect. Thank you for allowing us to stay and for setting up the perfect spot for friends to gather in beautiful Iceland.

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.

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.
