It is hard to predict winter weather, and sometimes you can expect sunny, warm days following heavy snowfalls.
Our house is accessible throughout the entire winter; however, sometimes snow drifts might obstruct the short road leading to our house, which is located just 30 meters from the regularly cleaned/plowed public road. The public road services work well, and our street just outside the gate is plowed as needed, usually within a couple of hours after the snow ends.
While the main road is promptly cleared by public services, it's essential to note that private roads, such as the one leading to our house, are not regularly maintained during winter, only after the end of a heavy snowfalls.
To overcome potential challenges, we recommend parking your car near the post box (as many locals do) on the well-cleared public road and walking the last 30 meters to the house on foot when the snow conditions make driving difficult. Alternatively, guests have the option to arrange clearing by a tractor/plow from a neighboring farmer for an extra fee.

Summary: Awesome stay and place is as stated! Communication was exceptional and thorough. The views are amazing and it’s set in a nice quiet area away from the hustle of the “tourist” area in Akureyri, but close enough to dip in and out. I would definitely recommend this location. It’s set up to accommodate large groups too.

Summary: We had a major issue at check-in but to the credit of the owner, they resolved it as quickly as possible. They communicated with us well and apologized but it still resulted in a late and stressful check-in for us. The home is as pictured with the exception of all the strange plumbing in the bathrooms to accommodate heated seats and a bidet. Mostly it made us laugh but it felt like the house wasn't finished yet. The mattresses were marginal in the master bedroom where we stayed. The kitchen has three different cook tops and that was confusing as they don't all work. We realized later info about cooking was in some instructions the owner sent and we missed while traveling. Having information about the house and some local recommendations at the house would have been helpful. The outside area definitely needs some attention. We had planned to BBQ, but the yard was overgrown and the dish of empty cigarette butts by the BBQ area was off-putting to us. That said, the location is ideal for day-trips around the area. The kitchen seemed well stocked with dishes. There was no coffee for the first morning as promised so come prepared. Good stay and it was just fine overall, but definitely not our best VRBO experience.

Summary: Our family of 5 stayed here while doing a road trip around the ring road. Overall I’ll give our stay a 5/5. The house was very spacious, had every amenity you could ask for, and was just a few minutes drive from downtown Akureyri. The beds were very comfortable, the house was clean, and we really enjoyed the espresso maker this house had. I would highly recommend this house!

Summary: The house is big and has a great view over Akureyri. However it is a bit dated and the outdoor area could use some love and attention as well.
