Hamragil - A roomy cabin in Central North. Scenic View, Geothermal Tub outside.

Hamragil was a fantastic place to stay. There is so much room to move around. The place was clean and had just the right amount of decorating. We enjoyed the deck, bbq, and hot tub multiple nights. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and all set up for us. We appreciated the information brochures about the area and even found new spots to explore from the art on the walls. Google photo search helped us with this! We highly recommend this home for anyone in the Akureyri area. It was an excellent location to explore Akureyri, Húsavík, and the Diamond Circle. One thing to note is that there are stairs from the parking area to the house. It wasn’t a problem for us but maybe for others.

We love being in the country. The house surrounded by beautiful landscapes. It worked perfectly for our plans. We went to all the attractions on the north end and east . Visited Raufarhofn, Husavik , Arttic Henge, Egilsstadir seeing waterfalls, caldrons, amazing canyons, lighthouses, sheep and horses. Great restaurant , Farm to Table I believe was the name. Akuyeri was a short drive away. Great place to stay and explore.

Loved this place. Our 7 travelers were very comfortable with lots of space for all. The views and the setting…. As beautiful as it was peaceful and private. The babbling brook was a wonderful surprise. The geothermal hot tub is a true gem!.

Absolutely amazing location, just a short drive to Akureyri for any groceries, restaurants or shopping you may like to do, while feeling remote and relaxed in nature. Short distance to amazing hikes, and a feeling of being separated from the hustle and crowds that summer in reykjavik possesses.

We were impressed from the moment we entered the property. It was clean, well stocked with amenities for our stay and extremely spacious for our family. For me personally the hot tub was the highlight of the stay and sitting outside in a warm tub under the wintery night sky was just magical. The only thing to note, and nothing to do with the property but there is a toll on the tunnel through the mountain on the fastest way to the close town of akureyri at 1800ISK per way.

We had a lovely time and felt so relaxed. The common is large for everyone to gather to eat and play games. We loved having a soak in the geothermal pot in the evening and having my morning coffee on the porch overlooking so much beauty.

We had a great time. The property was clean and spacious for our family of 5. The only thing we weren’t aware of was that the tunnel to Akureyri was between the house and the town, so a quick jaunt into taunt meant an $11 toll each way. However, we just took the slightly longer, toll-free way, around the tunnel which was lovely and picturesque. That might be a problem for winter travelers, however, as I understand that bypass is a bit treacherous. That being said, we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again if we come back. Totally recommend it.

We just loved this property. This was a perfect location for us, out in the country, but so close to Akureyri! We love a clean, newer feel place that feels like home. This place was absolutely perfect! Everything was in order, all communication was perfect and timely. Jon was just wonderful. Couldn't have been better. Hope to be back. Thank you Jon!

Our family rated this our favorite house in Iceland! The views are just stunning from every direction. We spent the day in Akureyi (short 15 minute drive), visited the awesome Godafoss waterfall (15 minute drive), and Lake Myvatn attractions (45 minutes). You’ll love having morning coffee in the deck!

First of all, I will give Jon 6 stars in terms of communication. Jon was very helpful and super responsive. Overall, the house is clean. However, I found the bathrooms are not as clean. The shower curtains need to be given a bit deep cleaning. The shower in the laundry room is not clean, so we didn't want to use it. However, the laundry room itself is clean and spacious with lots of countertops. Since we are a family of 3, one bathroom is enough. We love the house location. It is close to the the town of Akureyri; also, it is convenient to visit all attractions around the Diamond Circle. I recommend staying in Jon's property if you plan to visit the north.
