Cottage holiday rentals in Akureyri

Very private cottage with whirlpool and view over the bay. Fireplace and kitchen all very cosy and great to relax and explore Akureryi

It was the perfect quiet getaway we needed after the crowds of the southern part of the ring road. The cabin was beautiful and the view was spectacular. Getting to relax in the hot tub admiring the views and silence of nature was a key feature of our entire trip. Highly recommend.

Marino is such a great host to help out even we got trapped out of the house one night. Definitely recommend you to stay here with the superb view in the summer and we’d definitely come back next time if we get the chance!

Our stay at Marino’s was nothing short of perfect — the picturesque backdrop to this stunning cabin was something out of a movie. I highly recommend this property to anyone spending time near Dalvík!

The house is comfortable, warm, clean, well equipped and in a stunning location. The hot tub is easy to use and very nice to relax in. We stayed 3 nights and could have happily stayed much longer. Despite the weather (cold with low cloud and rain) we loved the views over the water and the snowy mountains. We drove up to Siglufjordur which is beautiful, walked on the causeway in front of the house and on Dalvik beach which is gorgeous, and did the classic whale watching from Dalvik and saw humpbacks, minke whales and porpoises. Also visited Tjornes peninsula and Husavic. Unfortunately the puffins left early this year so we didn't see any, but the coast is dramatic and we did some good walks. All fantastic. Thanks Ragnar.

loved the hot tub on the porch overlooking the water

Super stay, completely modernized and everything was neat and clean. Nice jacuzzi where you can sit in peace and privacy. Lovely location with lovely views.

This was absolutely the most beautiful home we have ever stayed in and we have been traveling for over 40 years. Well appointed and the location was perfect for privacy and it was very serene. Amazing amenities and we saw the northern lights our very first night! Gudny was a charm to work with and was very responsive with any questions. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

This may be the most beautiful stay in all of Iceland. We do not have enough positive things to say about the beautiful island of Hrísey. Being from the US, I was a little worried about the ferry/schedule. The host was so responsive and helpful - but truly it was the easiest ferry with the most beautiful views!! The cottage was so private and quiet, with the most gorgeous views! We are in awe of the privilege to stay here. The house was beautiful and cozy. If you’re considering staying - DO IT!

A quiet and peaceful location. Great view overseeing Akureyri town.

We had a beautiful little walk out front of the property down to the ocean

This was a great place to relax and unwind. The cottage is well designed with lots of space. Our hosts went above and beyond with some very special touches during the holiday season that made us feel very at home, away from home. It was a great stay!

We had a magical couple of days at the hidden cottage. We came up to the north hoping to do some skiing with the kids. We had a beautiful drive up from Reykjavík and drove into a valley creeping into spring. We woke the next morning to a thick blanket of snow! It meant it was tricky to leave the cottage with our vehicle but the kids enjoyed a day in the snow and a bit of a hike up the valley. The cottage was clean, comfy and warm with beautiful views and we had everything we needed. The hot tub was fun. When we had to leave early the next day and were worried about the roads, Lea was extremely helpful. After a bit of snow shovelling we got on our way. The 4x4 we hired managed the main road into town no problem. We enjoyed looking around Siglufjordur on the way in and went via Akuyreyri on the way home where the kids had a fun swim and we managed to get on the slopes in the afternoon. We rented ski equipment on site. Wish we had had a couple more days to explore the towns a bit more!

Had a great winter retreat at Lea's cabin. It's wonderfully located, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The cabin is equipped with everything you need, from BBQ to hot tub. Bonus points for the Northern Lights we got on NYE!

Great place and an amazing host. Very supportive

This property exceeded all of our expectations and the photos don’t do it justice. Clean, comfortable and extremely private. We experienced a yellow alert (severe blizzard with very strong winds) so had to stay in the house for an entire day… and it was the perfect place for that! The driveway got completely snowed in, but the caretaker was able to help dig us out and couldn’t have been kinder. We will most certainly stay here again if in the area. Communication was fast, friendly and very thorough.

Kozy house with great views. Very easy check in. Responsive host. Awesome location for skiing in AK

We had a wonderful stay at this pristine cottage with beautiful surroundings. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed our stay. Host was responsive and friendly. Would love to be back here.

Wonderful luxury cottage perched high on the mountain, close to everything, but with spectacular views over Akureyri and the fjord. Modern, clean and well stocked with amenities, including a hot tub and laundry. Arnor was very responsive and easy to work with, gave great suggestions for dining and activities. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again!
