It is hard to predict winter weather, and sometimes you can expect sunny, warm days following heavy snowfalls. Our house is accessible throughout the entire winter; however, sometimes snow drifts might obstruct the short road leading to our house, which is located just 30 meters from the regularly cleaned/plowed public road. The public road services work well, and our street just outside the gate is plowed as needed, usually within a couple of hours after the snow ends. While the main road is promptly cleared by public services, it's essential to note that private roads, such as the one leading to our house, are not regularly maintained during winter, only after the end of a heavy snowfalls. To overcome potential challenges, we recommend parking your car near the post box (as many locals do) on the well-cleared public road and walking the last 30 meters to the house on foot when the snow conditions make driving difficult. Alternatively, guests have the option to arrange clearing by a tractor/plow from a neighboring farmer for an extra fee. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 private bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Music library - Netflix - Smart TV - Stereo - Streaming services - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Snow sports gear - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 2,637 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33620000/33613100/33613065/0e2d271b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Exclusive Villa in the vincinity of Akureyri Akureyri - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 197 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=33613065&PinnedHotelID=33613065&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, DVD player, books, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27117900/27117840/4c075324.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### In The Center Of The North.

We were there with my mom, my sister’s family and my family for a total of 9. It was spacious and comfortable and everything is very high end. The house is located high on the hill across the bay from downtown Akureyri, allowing for the most amazing views of the bay. It’s a great location to access the gems of the diamond circle and quaint fishing villages. The host responded to questions quickly and checked in with us just before our stay. I would recommend this house for anyone that is looking for a luxurious stay in Iceland. ##### Megan J. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ida W.

The house is luxurious and had an amazing view. Everything was clean and as described. The house is less than 10 minutes away from the Akureyri center by car, which we found to be just the right distance. The price for your stay is based on how many bedrooms you will use, as mentioned in the booking description, so remember to get back to the host with the correct information (as I had forgotten to do with all my trip planning) If you are driving from the east, note that the closest way to the house is through the only toll tunnel in Iceland. You can avoid it with a scenic 15 minute workaround. ##### Ida W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### frances p. Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nothing Short of Wonderful I can’t say enough about this property or the host. The home itself is exceptional - warm, comfortable furnishings, exquisitely decorated, chefs kitchen, options for both privacy and shared time together, every modern convenience. The sun room is amazing and the views from almost every window of the mountains in the background towering over the city are amazing. And accessing the home was a pleasure. The host - Vladis - is a thoughtful, kind and informative owner. He allowed us to adjust our reservation when plans changed, provided terrific tips and local recommendations, and was timely and clear in all communications. Our family has used VRBO for dozens of rentals over the past 8-10 years, and have stayed in many lovely homes, but this was hands down the best experience of all. Highest recommendation. ##### frances p. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane R., USA Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Hard to find After not being able to find the place for about 15 minutes in the dark at 10:30pm, called no answer. Kept messaging and getting links that didn’t work. Called VRBO and paid for them to call host, no answer. Finally just drove around until we found it. Nice house with hot heated floor. Couldn’t figure out how to turn down the heat. Lights stayed on outside, so if the aurora had been out wouldn’t have seen it. Maybe motion lights? The house is nice. But, a little “cold” feeling. Not homey. Nice area. Comfy beds. No washcloths. Would be great for a large family. We killed at least 9 flies! ##### Jane R. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### CA K. Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location, but a few bumps along the way We had a major issue at check-in but to the credit of the owner, they resolved it as quickly as possible. They communicated with us well and apologized but it still resulted in a late and stressful check-in for us. The home is as pictured with the exception of all the strange plumbing in the bathrooms to accommodate heated seats and a bidet. Mostly it made us laugh but it felt like the house wasn't finished yet. The mattresses were marginal in the master bedroom where we stayed. The kitchen has three different cook tops and that was confusing as they don't all work. We realized later info about cooking was in some instructions the owner sent and we missed while traveling. Having information about the house and some local recommendations at the house would have been helpful. The outside area definitely needs some attention. We had planned to BBQ, but the yard was overgrown and the dish of empty cigarette butts by the BBQ area was off-putting to us. That said, the location is ideal for day-trips around the area. The kitchen seemed well stocked with dishes. There was no coffee for the first morning as promised so come prepared. Good stay and it was just fine overall, but definitely not our best VRBO experience. ##### CA K.
