We loved that apartment! Located in quiet, peaceful area with amazing views! But just 5 min drive from Akureyri! It is modern, clean, plenty of space for two people. Kitchen’s fully equipped, bed very comfortable, and there’s hot tub and grill on the patio! Highly recommended 👍👍

Maddis 5 - near Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon

KoyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Viðar and Dagný were super friendly hosts! Would highly recommend staying at their beautiful cottage if you’re planning to explore the Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon as it’s only a few minutes away. The pictures don’t do the space justice. Walking in we automatically felt a sense of calmness and right at home with the warm wood tones, the heated tile floors, the large windows with a beautiful view of the countryside and waterfalls. We loved the kitchen setup, where it had both a stove cooktop and oven and some additional spices to make our cooking experience more enjoyable and convenient. The bedroom and bathroom was reasonably sized where two people could comfortably get ready together. We liked the thoughtfulness of small touches like the raincoat hook by the front door, heated floors, additional floor coat hangers, two luggage bag holders so it didn’t have to sit on the floor, large towel racks and the picture games to learn the names of the local birds and flowers of Iceland.

Cabin with beautiful fjord view

KyleRating, 5 stars3 days ago
The location was beautiful and private with amazing views from the cabin and hot tub. We loved looking at the unobstructed views of the fjord from the hot tub, which stayed plenty hot even with colder than expected weather. The cabin was clean and was very comfortable and felt spacious for 2 people. I would absolutely recommend staying here, we had an amazing time

Golden Circle Thingvellir Lake Cabin Hot Tub/Sauna

ZuzanaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Loved the location, the views and all the amenities available. It was a perfect place for the two of us, cosy and had all we needed and more. Only thing I'd recommend to take with you, that we forgot, would be slippers.

A wooden ladder leads to an upper level, while a table covered with a blue cloth sits centrally, illuminated by candlelight. Stone flooring and rustic wooden structures contribute to the historical ambiance of the space, with shelves displaying various items against the wooden walls.

Laxfoss Luxury Lodge | Waterfall Lodge

CassandraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We loved the house and the surrounding area. There is a path down to the river and back that was so nice. The house was toasty so would bring summer weight pjs. An eye mask for sleeping is important in the summer. We are happy we got to stay in this beautiful home.

Three glamping tents are positioned in an open landscape at sunset, with the vibrant colors of the sky reflecting off the mountains. The silhouettes of the mountains create a dramatic backdrop, enhancing the tranquil outdoor setting.

Standard Glamping Yurt

RachelRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We stumbled upon this yurt location after leaving our TOP meal during our 10 day travel covering the circle around the country! ( Tjöruhúsið ) This is a very quant setting who truly served a unique Icelandic fresh meal that was nestled with low lighting while Edison lights hung in the rafters, glistening below the barns rafters! Do yourself a favor and make this place a must in your plans, we still dream of the 6+ different fresh caught fish chef served premium buffet. We came to our yurt after the helpful check in and were overly pleased with the bedding and the comfort of the yurt! Heater and expresso machines were a nice addition! The down bedding and linen were top notch! Even thought the yurt was amazing standing alone but what blew our socks off was the northern lights that were bursting on top of this quaint valley nestled oasis! We had the upgrade clear top unit and laid in bed and watched them dance in the sky. This will be a core memory! 💚🩵💚🩵💚

Your guide to Iceland

Welcome to Iceland

An island born from violent volcanic activity more than 16 million years ago, Iceland’s rugged natural beauty has become globally synonymous with adventurous travelers in search of an off-the-beaten-path holiday. And indeed Iceland’s landscape rewards the curious and intrepid, with all roads and trails seemingly leading toward yet another spectacular Arctic lagoon, geyser, black sand beach, jagged lava field, steaming hot spring, verdant valley, or spiraling mountain top to explore (often without another soul in sight). In winter the dazzling Northern Lights flicker and shimmer overhead, and in summer days stretch without end. With so much natural beauty around, it’s sometimes easy to overlook the capital city of Reykjavík. Host to one of Europe’s most vibrant art and design hubs, Reykjavík’s dining and nightlife scenes play prominently in the lives of locals and visitors alike. And of course, when you’ve hiked too far or danced too much, geothermal-heated milky-blue pools await to soothe sore muscles back to health.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Iceland

Iceland’s primary seasons of summer and winter offer diametrically different but equally stunning experiences strongly influenced by its proximity to the Arctic Circle. In summer, daylight lingers for up to 24 hours, a Northern Hemisphere phenomenon known as the midnight sun, offering visitors the unusual opportunity to experience neverending daylight around the clock (peaking in June), with numerous agencies offering guided hikes and whale-watching tours illuminated by the nighttime sun. The summer months are also optimal for staying in one of the area’s homes and spending the days investigating the island’s diverse and unique ecosystems — vivid woodlands, pristine ice-blue lakes, craggy peaks, moss-covered coastline, and majestic waterfalls. In winter the days become shorter and the temperatures dip considerably, requiring layered attire. Yet many will tell you Iceland in winter is the best time to visit, with fewer travelers around, inviting an unforgettable sense of solitary silence, the world muffled to a memory by the pristine white snow that covers the landscape. It’s also the season to catch the spectacular Northern Lights.

Top things to do in Iceland

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon

Also known as Feather River Canyon, a coat of emerald moss covers almost every inch of this remarkable scar across the South Coast destination during summer months. Created by thousands of years of streaming deep-blue glacial water cutting through dark bedrock, the resulting ravishing ravine is popular with hikers and photographers. If you experience a certain sense of familiarity here, it may be because you’ve seen it as the backdrop in a very famous cable network show set within an imaginary realm of fire and ice.

Rauðasandur Beach

With 10 kilometers of golden red-tinged sands to explore during low tide, Rauðasandur Beach is a beachcombing paradise of epic proportions. Known for its red sand and tranquil remoteness, this is a place where migrating whales can be spotted offshore alongside the occasional whale bones onshore. Be prepared to drive carefully along a steep and narrow gravel road to the beach, one requiring constant attention and slow speeds.

Hornstrandir Nature Reserve

If peace and quiet rank high on your list and you identify as a capable backcountry backpacker, this nature reserve offers the opportunity to experience a section of Iceland left mostly untouched by human habitation for the last 70 years. Home to the country’s largest colony of Arctic foxes, alongside a unique abundance of endemic flora and fauna, Hornstrandir Nature Reserve’s ecosystem is popular with birders and nature photographers. Camping gear and proper attire are required before entering, as there are no shops available in Hornstrandir.
