Gorgeous and very large. Excellent views and minutes to downtown. Great convenience to have laundry. ( microwave didnât work and had trouble with the lock. )
We loved our stay in this wonderful house and the host was respectful and nice. The only minus in my opinion would be that there's no barbeque at the house.
Our stay over the last four days in Akureyri were made even more special by this beautiful well appointed property. It provides comfortable luxury in a breathtaking location! This is our second stay and will be back!
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!
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.
We were with two Families in this a great and spcious Villa. The location was excellent and vry close by car to the most important locations in Aukeryri.
The host was very nice and the check in was very easy.
Overall, we had a good stay at this property. The house is a beautiful contemporary design, with gorgeous views out over the fjord. High ceilings give a feeling of spaciousness, and was physically very comfortable for our family. The service side of things did not match expectations, especially given the price. There was no shampoo, body wash, or detergent provided. After discussion with the property manager, body wash was provided. Only two of three bedrooms were setup for guests, with the expectation apparently being that the children needed to share rooms unless specifically discussed ahead of time. This was also rectified. The hot tub was not clean, and a request to have it cleaned was not followed up on. Wall controls are used to control many functions in the house, and no longer work in all the rooms. We did not appreciate being given a list of checkout tasks given the substantial cleaning fee paid.In summary, we can recommend the house as a comfortable place to stay, but it feels like corners are being cut which was irritating given the price paid.
Can not recommend this house more. Beautiful view, quiet surroundings, great kitchen and hot tub. The property owner gave great directions and was responsive to communication.
Would recommend this to family and friends traveling and plan on returning myself
The view from this house is to die for. We loved all of the space we had to spread out in the main living area. Everything was comfortable and it was very clean. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
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!
Absolutely beautiful home, we would highly recommend. The deck was great for a meal with a great view and a relaxing tub after a day of long hikes. Bed very very comfortable. Everything was exactly like the listing said.
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!!!
Amazing views and an amazing space. Huge and comfortable home with all the amenities, close to the best spa in Iceland and the beautiful city of Akureyri. Owner was very responsive and accommodating and hot tub was an added luxury that was well appreciated. Overall an excellent stay, very highly recommend for any kind of weather or adventure.
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.
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!
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.
