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!

North Iceland Winter Trip

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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).
