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 196 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&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.
