Vacation rentals in Svartardalur

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!

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!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was very relaxing with a beautiful view of the sea right from the dining table. We saw a few seals and lots of varieties of birds. Kolbrún was very accommodating, letting us come 2 hours before check in time. It was pouring rain where we were traveling from so not conducive to exploring in that kind of weather. We were very happy to get in where it was homey, dry and relaxing.

We hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad. Het huis was prachtig gelegen. Het was onze uitvalbasis om de westfjorden te ontdekken. We hebben ook het geluk gehad om 3 nachten te kunnen genieten van het Noorderlicht en een hele week prachtig weer! Een echte aanrader! De hot tub is de kers op de taart!

Benedikt’s place was absolutely stunning, warm and cosy whilst taking advantage of any sunlight with a large amount of glass windows. A perfect getaway.

Our family of 6 stayed for a week of sightseeing. This was the perfect home base! The view is breathtaking inside and out of this amazing Art House! It was an easy walk to restaurants and the local shops. We utilized Michelle’s extensive list of suggestions for touring the area and we were not disappointed. It was hard to say goodbye and we hope to return one day. Thank you Michelle for everything!

Was an absolutely lovely stay! Thank you so much for the cold water in the fridge as well! We loved the knitted striped blankets!

Very nice and tidy accomodation, excellent to make daytrips to Myvatn or Husavik. Bathroom is a bit small. The family helped us with the hot pot that was quite nice.

This house is lovely and the location is incredible. Off the beaten path and so peaceful. Would be a spectacular place to catch the Northern lights if you're lucky.
