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.

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!

The beautiful home is centrally located in the capital of the north. All the wonders of nature are within a comfortable drive. The town of Akureyri is lovely and offers many dining options. The Forest Lagoon is literally three minutes from the property. Four adult couples had plenty of room and all enjoyed the stay.

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.

If you are traveling with a large group this is the perfect place to stay. 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.

My 5 friends and I had a wonderful stay at this villa. 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.
