    A luxurious and beautiful cottage located in a little forest in the heart of the Icelandic countryside. Staying here was a sheer pleasure. The kitchen is equipped with modern devices. The location is great, just for walking nearby and driving to Akureiry, Godafoss, Aldeyarfoss, and even Myvatn with all its hits. Sitting on the huge terrace, listening to Whimbrels and Oystercatchers singing – priceless! Good value for money, highly recommended.

    The location was excellent—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to Akureyri. The hotel was clean, and the rooms had been recently renovated. Additionally, I accidentally booked for the wrong date (a day earlier), but the owner was very understanding and accommodating, allowing us to change the reservation to the correct day on the same day we arrived.

    Imagine staying in an elegant mansion with the attention to detail of a luxury hotel but the comfort and warmth of a home. The property we stayed in the ground floor is truly perfect and meticulously curated in every detail, with carefully selected elements, from the soaps to the linens, and even the objects and paintings. Beautiful stay.

    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!

    This is one of the best stays we had in Iceland. The location is very quiet and peaceful, the cottages are literally in the woods, surrounded with greenery and birds. Although small kitchen, it's well equipped. The bed is very comfy. The best part is probably the jacuzzi right on the next porch, you even have bathing robes ready. We absolutely loved our stay and I highly recommend it for couples.

    The beautiful cabin is located in a quiet countryside location which we enjoyed very much. The kitchen is very well equipped. The living room and dining area are very nice. There is a balcony. We loved to be able to have a home cooked dinner. Excellent for a family. We did our laundry in a central cabin, very convenient
