    Stayed for only one night, would have loved to stay longer! So cozy and comfortable and the location fantastic. The house had everything we needed and we were able to cook in the shared kitchen. Loved it when the chickens came on their morning walk to say hello to us 😁

    The kitchen facilities are not in the room , but I knew that when booking. They have the basics you need to cook.

    Great quiet location! And lovely comfortable room. Things were clean and tidy. Nice and warm with a little shower and kettle and coffee machine in the room. There are washing facilities if you need them, just ask. Nice pretty horses on the property. Comfortable beds and a good night's sleep.

    Nothing to mention

    The Cabin style accomodation was really nice. The communication was all smooth, the self checkin and the self checkout happened all smoothely... The location seemed great but we didnt have enough time to explore the area near the lake or the common spaces with the kitchen

    Very busy place. People kept coming IN and OUT non stop with cars. Best is when somebody comes with car (big pickup) in the middle of the night and leaves the engine running next to your cottage for half hour. So it was a very disturbed sleep. It's not necessary a staff's fault, it's just how it is there.

    Best place tp stay near Akureyri, North Iceland!

    Nothing, it was perfect! Keep in mind though arriving with a car would be much more practical to move around in the area, but I guess most of the people staying in Akureyri do just that anyhow!

    Our cabin was the heaven we were hoping to find in Iceland. All the way up north, just next to Akureyri, the most northern big town in Iceland, yet far enough from it to enjoy the peace and quiet nature and the fjord. In the mornings we were woken up to the endless whiteness coming from the snow and the ice in the valley visible from our cabin. We enjoyed cooking in the shared kitchen in the main house, having the morning coffee in the hot tub outside on -15, and then taking off to our day trips anywhere. The proximity to Akureyri allowed us to enjoy some northern city vibes too, with the possibility to have drinks or a meal in one of the gorgeous places there! The slopes were also very close, just a short 10-12 drive from our cabin. The highlight was the nighttime: we were blessed to have the Aurora Borealis almost every night, and our stay was perfect for it: almost no light pollution at all, an outdoor hot tub that allowed us to enjoy the lights soaked in hot water with some drinks, silence everywhere, just wonderful and out of this world experience! We loved also our hosts, they were amazing and always available, thank you Andrea and Christian with your family, for everything! Highly recommend this place for a northern paradise vacation!

    Numbers on cottages don't really follow an order (or at least we didn't get it), so we had to drive around a bit before finally asking the owner. We didn't want to bother her since it was 9pm but eventually we did, and she was super nice and helped us immediately.

    The owners are super nice and friendly. The place is beautiful: it was wonderful to have breakfast looking out of our window to the countryside, and in the common area/kitchen we surprisingly had dinner with two other Italian guests (shoutout to Sean and Elisa from Lucca!), who were super nice. In the kitchen, you can leave stuff for other people to use, and utilize the ingredients that have been left. There even are some eggs for sale, but I recommend to have some cash on you, since you need will need Icelandic krona (coins) to buy them.

    Cosy little cabin, more spacious than most hotel rooms we saw in Iceland. Fridge, electric kettle as well as supplies of tea and coffee. The parking is directly by the entrance which we really appreciated as we had quite some luggage. And the view was magnificent as well.

    I can't recommend this place highly enough. First, the location is fantastic, you will have an incredible view of the fjord from your window. These accommodations are little cute cottages: ours was furbished with everything we may have needed (shampoo and shower gel, espresso machine, hair dryer, wifi, a desk with two chairs, a small fridge and even a comfortable armchair). There were also nice little touches (chocolate!). There is a kitchen in the main house that guests can use for cooking. Furniture was nice. Mattresses very comfortable. This was the best accommodation we had during our trip and the host was nice and welcoming. Breakfast was not included, but we bought supplies (including delicious croissants) at Netto and could store milk and orange juice in the little fridge. Really excellent!

    Just that the cups for coffee and tea in the room are too small, mugs would be perfect. This the only really small detail that we found!

    Everything was great!
