    Location. Very quiet and close to a small village with a restaurant. When we arrived we saw some small whales close to the harbour.. amazing! The cabin had everything we needed and was already cozy and warm when we arrived. The hottub is a nice bonus after a long day of hiking and driving. Nice oasis close to Akureyri!

    Exactly as described. Truly a cozy cabin in the woods. Perfect for a few days/nights in Akureyri.

    Two-burner hot plate for cooking has seen better days (it still did the job, just could use some updating)

    Cozy, quiet. Great for a few nights as a home base for exploring Akureyri, Lake Myvatn, Husavik, etc... Very quiet. There was still a lot of snow and muddy meltoff on the ground, so we couldn't really explore the grounds too much, but it looked like it will be absolutely beautiful later in the year.

    Beautiful, clean, comfortable cottage in the middle of a forest! The accommodation was very cosy, with a very well equipped kitchen to prepare dinner. We only stayed here 1 night, but it was beautiful! We also made use of the heated pool located in the woods and it was wonderful!!!

    You have to leave cold water running, that the pipes don't freeze. That's waste of water and absolut unacceptable!!

    We were sad we didn't get to see the dogs and cats as we left early and only stayed one night. The place was really great, nothing else to dislike.

    We were greeted by the host's mum who was very friendly and helpful. The cabin is in the woods near a hottub and bbq area, with paths and fairy light connecting them. The woods mean it's very sheltered, and quite unique to Iceland. The cabin itself was clean, really snug, and had everything you need (even tea and coffee), with an ensuite including a shower. It was warm, the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was very comfortable, and there was a TV with DVDs. There were even cards and a board game.

    The ‘demented’ thrush that kept launching itself at our cabin window between 4:30 am and 6:30 am. Maybe it was drunk on fermented berries 😂.

    Beautiful setting in the woods. Comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen.

    The whole cabins are self made and there is a lot you can use as well like a hot tub or a BBQ. It’s lovely and cozy and very quiet. We had everything we needed and were very satisfied. Would recommend to others!

    Nothing really, I just wish the weather was friendlier.

    The quiet and cosy cabin, sitting in the warm cabin in the serene forests was just magical. As it was snowing heavily at Akureyri in the middle of March, we decided to spend most of our day here. Enjoyed the hot tub in the forest.
