"Excellent property. It had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. The views were amazing. Make sure to bring binoculars as you can see whales most days at the other side of the fjord. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights as well. Hot pot was amazing. The bluetooth sound system was excellent and easy to connect to. Akureyri is around 20 minutes drive away. Highly recommended."
"A super place with a very responsive remote host. The house is big and extremely well-equipped incl. outdoor hot tub (view over the lake) and top-quality kitchen with the same view over the lake while cooking and eating. A little way (30 mins) from the regular Ring Road but a lovely village and area to explore, including some or all of the Arctic Way. For whale-watching it’s close to Husavik for and even closer to Hauganes, which can be seen from the house and exceeded all expectations for us. (We even saw the whale activity across the water the next day once we knew where to look … take binoculars!). Thank you Thomas!"
"We enjoyed the room and property but be aware that the economy rooms have only a view of the roof next store and nothing else. We liked being next door to the Já Ding Dong bar and Eurovision exhibit, as well as the Apollo Astronaut monument across the street. Breakfast could have been more substantial. "
"We were welcomed by two young women who could not have been friendlier. Amazingly, we quickly established rapport thru common interests, common travel experiences, etc. We must have visited with them for 20 min before heading to our room. The next morning, they were not immediately on duty, but when we left about 9:30AM or so, they made a special trip out to the parking lot to see us off. This property is a very neat, clean property, and we felt like honored guests by the end!"
Spacious, luxurious house with a lot of natural wood
10/10 Excellent
"This place is AWESOME!! Gorgeous views all thru the house. Right on the fjord with very comfortable beds! Best place we have ever stayed in! Would love to return! Pictures do not do it justice. Stay here you wont regret it! Thank you to the owner for allowing us to experience your gorgeous house!"
"Charming, cozy, and clean cabin with a relaxing deck and very kind host. It was amazing listening to the birds at 12:30am while soaking in the hot spring fed outdoor spa watching the colorful midnight sunset, priceless! This highlight was only topped by whale watching from the porch. The cabins are set back slightly from the fjord and the views are stunning! It's an easy 1 minute walk to the waters edge, and an easy drive to Dalvik too. So thankful we found these cabins; all surrounded by wildflowers, whales, nature, and beautiful Iceland. "
