What an incredible view - this cozy stay was a perfect recharge after long days of exploring the westfjords. The house was incredibly clean, cozy, and we enjoyed a nice night of watching Icelandic TV in bed. Would absolutely book again.

Place is meant for cozy stay in all ways - fully equipped, comfortable bed and rewarding view!

Fantastic view above Akureyri. The chalet its just perfect to stay close from the city but without the noise. The chalet has everything to enjoy a quiet moment. It is very clean and the blankets were immaculately clean and white. Do not expect to have TV because even one does exist in the living room, you do no need it. Just enjoy the place.

The cabin wasn't too hard to find. I texted a bit with the owners, they were really sweet ! The location was nice and the view was outstanding. The cabin was pretty comfortable and well equipped overall, even with a washing machine. The bed were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. Plenty of books if you like to read ;)

Alice France

This is by far a favorite place. We loved the view over the fjord and the amazing Northern Lights show. The rooms are cozy and sparkling clean, very nicely arranged. The host is extremely friendly and helpful. Next time we would like to stay longer. We highly recommand it!!! There is a small river/crick nearby. It has a romantic and relaxing side.

Mihaela France

Very nice apartment, furnished with everything and decorated with style. Very clean. Absolutely recommended! The best location we stayed in iceland.

Cecilia Italy

When we arrived I regretted booking for only one night. This is a perfect getaway for several days. Entering the house with the spacious veranda and the great view it just felt like home because it had this personal touch (little library..) Kitchen was well equipped. We made use of the washing machine, very handy after 10 days. We`ll try and visit again

It was a very cozy and nice house. The kitchen has all the necessities and quite a selection of spices (salt, different peppers etc). Nice view.

  • Hello there. I wanted to check before I book whether the washing machine on this property has a dryer as well? Thanks. Kev.
    Hi Kev ! Yes there is a washing machine in the cabin, but not a dryer. But outside is a good dryer if the weather is good. Regards, Árni og Petra

Host Info

Host Review Score
It is a guest house with beautiful views over Eyjafjörður and the surrounding mountains. 500 metres from the cabin there are so-called forest baths, called forestlagoon, but the forest that surrounds the baths plays an important role as well as the water that flows from Vaðlaheiði and now has a new and nobler purpose.
