Our stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The check-in process was incredibly smooth and all house instructions were clearly stated. The highlight, without a doubt, was the breathtaking scenic view from sunrise to sunset, the backdrop was simply unmatched. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend this property to anyone looking for an amazing getaway!

Great stay in Akureyri!

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!
