We had a lovely time and felt so relaxed. The common is large for everyone to gather to eat and play games. We loved having a soak in the geothermal pot in the evening and having my morning coffee on the porch overlooking so much beauty.

We had a great time. The property was clean and spacious for our family of 5. The only thing we weren’t aware of was that the tunnel to Akureyri was between the house and the town, so a quick jaunt into taunt meant an $11 toll each way. However, we just took the slightly longer, toll-free way, around the tunnel which was lovely and picturesque. That might be a problem for winter travelers, however, as I understand that bypass is a bit treacherous. That being said, we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again if we come back. Totally recommend it.

We just loved this property. This was a perfect location for us, out in the country, but so close to Akureyri! We love a clean, newer feel place that feels like home. This place was absolutely perfect! Everything was in order, all communication was perfect and timely. Jon was just wonderful. Couldn't have been better. Hope to be back. Thank you Jon!

Perfect Lodge

Perfect Lodge

Our family rated this our favorite house in Iceland! The views are just stunning from every direction. We spent the day in Akureyi (short 15 minute drive), visited the awesome Godafoss waterfall (15 minute drive), and Lake Myvatn attractions (45 minutes). You’ll love having morning coffee in the deck!

Great location and beautiful environment

Great location and beautiful environment

First of all, I will give Jon 6 stars in terms of communication. Jon was very helpful and super responsive. Overall, the house is clean. However, I found the bathrooms are not as clean. The shower curtains need to be given a bit deep cleaning. The shower in the laundry room is not clean, so we didn't want to use it. However, the laundry room itself is clean and spacious with lots of countertops. Since we are a family of 3, one bathroom is enough. We love the house location. It is close to the the town of Akureyri; also, it is convenient to visit all attractions around the Diamond Circle. I recommend staying in Jon's property if you plan to visit the north.

A little of of town (15 min via toll, 25 over pass) but great scenery and quiet, which is what we were going for. Good size for our group of 8, kids had a blast picking wild blueberries right on the property. Saw the northern lights while sitting in the hot pot!

A Wonderful, Dreamy Stay in a Gorgeous River Valley

A Wonderful, Dreamy Stay in a Gorgeous River Valley

We had an amazing week at Hamragil. (It was our favorite place we stayed in all of Iceland!) The view is amazing. The hot pot is extraordinary. Everything about our stay was perfect. Jon is the ideal host -- extremely responsive & quick to communicate with us about potential winter storms. The house is well-stocked, clean, comfortable. My kids found sleds in the shed & there are perfect sledding hills right on the property. The house is in a great location to explore everything in Akureyri, Husavik, Myvatn. If you are considering booking Hamragil, do it! You will be well taken care of & you will not regret it!!

Tolles abgelegenes Ferienhaus

Tolles abgelegenes Ferienhaus

Ferienhaus ist gut von Akureyri erreichbar. Tunneldurchfahrt ist leider Mautpflichtig aber man kann auch die Umgehung fahren. Das Haus an sich ist sehr gut ausgestattet und hat alles was man braucht. Wir waren kurz eingeschneit was nach Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Vermieter schnell geräumt wurde. Schlafzimmer finde ich persönlich etwas zu klein dafür war der Wohnbereich sehr großzügig. Der überdachte Balkon hält auch im Winter die Schneemassen fern :-). Wir könnten nachts auch Nordlichter beobachten da man alle Lichter ausschalten kann was bei unseren anderen Unterkünften nicht möglich war.

Beautiful cabin in a wonderful location

This cabin was perfect for our group of 10. The kitchen was well stocked and the host even went so far as to leave us a bottle of champagne on arrival. The hot tub was extremely pleasant to use after long hours of hiking. There is a creek that runs right in front of the cabin and you can step out the door and do some hiking without ever getting in your car. This place is a 10.

There were 6 if us and the accommodations were perfect, it felt like home but these views were very picturesque. The hot pot, very relaxing after a long day of photographing n sightseeing. Would definitely recommend this property to stay for any length of time.

In Northern Iceland Hamragil is the place to stay.

In Northern Iceland Hamragil is the place to stay.

We had an amazing time at Hamragil. The cottage was perfect for our group and we enjoyed the hot tub very much. Some of the things we saw and really recommend visiting are: Goðafoss & Dettifoss (waterfalls), DimmuBorgir (volcanic rock formations), Hverir (geothermal area), Krafla & Verfjal (volcanoes), Ásbyrgi (canyon), Grjótagjá (natural geothermal spring). The last day of our holiday we enjoyed a great dinner at Bautinn. Bautinn Restaurant is situated right in the heart of Akureyri, the building itself is one of the oldest in Akureyri. We had an amazing holiday and we wish that you all can and will enjoy it as much as we did! If you want to go to Northern Iceland then Hamragil is the place to stay. A very special thank you to Jon for his quick replies, occasional weather forecasts and being such a nice guy in general! Brieneke, Ben, Bart, Marc, Femke & Jeroen

Die Aussicht ist ein Traum! Der Whirlpool ist echt cool. Wir waren 12 Personen (6 Erwachsene und 6 Kinder) und das Haus war gemütlich. Leider gab es 2 kleine Betten, das war für unsere großen Kinder nicht ganz optimal. Husavik, Myvatn und Akureyri waren gut zu erreichen. Das Quartier ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Hamragil was awesome!

First of all, Jon was fantastic. I had several questions before our trip and he answered all of them via email very quickly. The property is wonderful. It was very secluded and very comfortable. There were 6 of us staying at the property and we had 4 other friends that came over from Akureyi and joined us for dinner and cards. It was perfect for 10 people. We cooked breakfast each morning and dinner each night. The location is 15 minutes from Godafoss falls and convenient to Akureyi and the Lake Myvatn are. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderfull North Iceland experiance

Wonderfull North Iceland experiance

Central located close to Akureyri. Perfect for day trips to the great attractions of North Iceland . Great hot top to relax after a day of exploring. Awesome views. Well stocked with dishes for bigger groups. Out for the way but still centrally located. Feels like home away from home. John was extreme helpful and answered all questions we had in the fastest possible way (and we had a lot). Definitely will stay here again

La casa dispone di tutti i confort. Sia per la dotazione della cucina che per l'hot pot. L'unico punto negativo è la scarsa pressione dell'acqua sia in cucina che nei bagni. Noi abbiamo usato la casa come base per le aree attorno al Lago Myvatn, Husavik e Akurery e si è dimostrata molto comoda.

A Quiet, Delightful Lodge in a Gorgeous Setting

A Quiet, Delightful Lodge in a Gorgeous Setting

Hamragil provided a perfect base to explore the coast of Northern Iceland. Scenery? Spectacular. Space in the lodge-like setting: Just right. The living room offered views of glacier-covered mountains. The kitchen is well-appointed. Access (key etc.) was easy. We looked forward each day to returning to the solitude of Hamragil, an easy 15- or 20-minute drive from Akureyri. And don't miss the creek that runs along the property, just beyond the birch grove. As for the basics: The description is indeed accurate. The house was clean. Jon couldn't have been more helpful in making sure we found the house, the key and everything we needed. I'd recommend this to friends, family, colleagues: Anyone who wants a quiet, cheerful and spacious holiday home. Attractions: Lake Myvatyn, of course, and all the waterfalls. But also the scenery right there surrounding Hamragil.

Great place for a family

Great place for a family

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hamragil. The view is spectacular. The bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The hot pot was a nice relaxing end to the day. We made all our dinners there and enjoyed the lovely view as we ate. Jon was helpful as we had not brought all the directions we needed and he was quick to respond with all the information when we contacted him on his cell phone. The second bathroom was not completed yet and we did fine with the one bathroom. It is about 15-20 mins from town. We got our food from the local grocery store and that worked out well. Easy trip to go whale watching. Overall, it was a great experience and great location.
