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.

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.

After not being able to find the place for about 15 minutes in the dark at 10:30pm, called no answer. Kept messaging and getting links that didn’t work. Called VRBO and paid for them to call host, no answer. Finally just drove around until we found it. Nice house with hot heated floor. Couldn’t figure out how to turn down the heat. Lights stayed on outside, so if the aurora had been out wouldn’t have seen it. Maybe motion lights? The house is nice. But, a little “cold” feeling. Not homey. Nice area. Comfy beds. No washcloths. Would be great for a large family. We killed at least 9 flies!

The beautiful home is centrally located in the capital of the north. All the wonders of nature are within a comfortable drive. The town of Akureyri is lovely and offers many dining options. The Forest Lagoon is literally three minutes from the property. Four adult couples had plenty of room and all enjoyed the stay.
