3 Bedroom Cottage in Akureyri

Charming cottage in the highland over-viewing the town of Akureyri, only 5 km from the town center. Offers amazing view over the town and fjord. Decorated as a comfortable and elegant second home. Surrounded by wild nature and mountains.
The cottage is comfortable and elegant and ideal for families or friends. Three bedrooms, one bedroom with twin bed and two bedrooms with two single beds (can be put together). All beds are of good quality and come with warm covers and soft sheets. Open kitchen, dining room and living room area, elegantly furnished and fully equipped. Two bathrooms, one with a shower and the other also a laundry room with washer and dryer. Hot tub inside with a large door to the balcony. Garden furniture and barbeque on the balcony. The view over Akureyri and Eyjafjörð is amazing and can be enjoyed from the living room area and balcony.
The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessaries to make delicious meals. You will also find a lot of little “extras” that will be nice to have, such as tee, spices, soy-sauce, candles, napkins and more. I always leave vine bottles in the rack and a beer and vine in the fridge. You are free to use all these extras, but if you enjoy some of our vines and beer I ask you to leave behind a similar kind. In the bathroom there is shampoo and shower gel that you may use. You can contact me anytime during your stay and I will gladly answer questions about the cottage and surroundings. Iam also willing to share with you my knowledge of the area and Iceland.
The cottage is in a popular area of vacation homes in the highlands of Hlíðarfjall. Our cottage is perfectly located and offers view over the town of Akureyri and the fjord Eyjafjörður. Surrounded with wild nature and close to the beautiful mountains súlur and Hlíðarfjall where the best skiing area in the country is located. Close to outdoor activities such as horse-riding area, shooting range, motorcycle tracks and 18-hole golf course. The area is also ideal for quiet walks or hikes. Located only a few minutes drive from the center of Akureyri, which offers a wide range of activities and interesting places such as notable museums, the world's most northerly botanic garden and one of Iceland's most popular swimming pools. Also varied accommodation and excellent range of restaurants and coffees, some of which specialize in local food.
Akureyri is situated in the longest fjord in the country and surrounded by mountains reaching 1500 m.

Summary: Iceland is a land of contrasts. Some of the land is stark and bare looking while other areas are lush green. Beautiful scenery over the fjord. The house is perfect. The decor is eclectic and interesting. It is very modern, clean and comfortable. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and felt well cared for by the host anf care taker.
