Hamragil - A roomy cabin in Central North. Scenic View, Geothermal Tub outside.

Hamragil is a big cabin, sleeping up to 10 guests in 6 bedrooms with 4 double beds and 2 junior size. Please notice, if booked for more than 6 guests, a surcharge pr. person will apply.
Fiber glass cable connection for WiFi and TV.
The location is a secluded one, up in the hillside with a great view on the whole valley, the river below and the mountains facing you. The cabin is warm and welcoming, offering a lot of privacy, being though only 15 km away from the town Akureyri. To the other direction it's only 50 km away from the nature's Paradise Lake Myvatn.
Access to geothermal water gives you the possibility to gaze at the northern lights in the winter time, while sitting in the hot pot outside, with the vivid mountain creek flowing by in the lowering down hill.

Are you heading West or South? We also run the quality cabins "Tvera" at the south coast of the Westfjords (Vrbo rental No 4084081), "Brekka", right at the bay Hvalfjord, just north of Reykjavik (9257064), and "Stekkar" south of the great sights Geysir and Gullfoss (2903253).
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Amazing stay in the most beautiful cabin

Absolutely amazing location, just a short drive to Akureyri for any groceries, restaurants or shopping you may like to do, while feeling remote and relaxed in nature. Short distance to amazing hikes, and a feeling of being separated from the hustle and crowds that summer in reykjavik possesses.

Beautiful cabin for Serenity

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.

Great stay up north

We love being in the country. The house surrounded by beautiful landscapes. It worked perfectly for our plans. We went to all the attractions on the north end and east . Visited Raufarhofn, Husavik , Arttic Henge, Egilsstadir seeing waterfalls, caldrons, amazing canyons, lighthouses, sheep and horses. Great restaurant , Farm to Table I believe was the name. Akuyeri was a short drive away. Great place to stay and explore.

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!

Beautiful Location, stunning views, a real gem.

We were impressed from the moment we entered the property. It was clean, well stocked with amenities for our stay and extremely spacious for our family. For me personally the hot tub was the highlight of the stay and sitting outside in a warm tub under the wintery night sky was just magical. The only thing to note, and nothing to do with the property but there is a toll on the tunnel through the mountain on the fastest way to the close town of akureyri at 1800ISK per way.

Hamragil was a fantastic place to stay. There is so much room to move around. The place was clean and had just the right amount of decorating. We enjoyed the deck, bbq, and hot tub multiple nights. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and all set up for us. We appreciated the information brochures about the area and even found new spots to explore from the art on the walls. Google photo search helped us with this! We highly recommend this home for anyone in the Akureyri area. It was an excellent location to explore Akureyri, Húsavík, and the Diamond Circle. One thing to note is that there are stairs from the parking area to the house. It wasn’t a problem for us but maybe for others.

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.

Wonderful!

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.

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 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

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.
