Beautiful Location, stunning views, a real gem.
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.

Beautiful cabin for Serenity
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.

Wonderful!
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!

Perfect Lodge
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!

Great location and beautiful environment
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.

Beautiful location
A little of of town (15 min via toll, 25 over pass) but great scenery and quiet, which is what we were going for. Good size for our group of 8, kids had a blast picking wild blueberries right on the property. Saw the northern lights while sitting in the hot pot!

A Wonderful, Dreamy Stay in a Gorgeous River Valley
We had an amazing week at Hamragil. (It was our favorite place we stayed in all of Iceland!) The view is amazing. The hot pot is extraordinary. Everything about our stay was perfect. Jon is the ideal host -- extremely responsive & quick to communicate with us about potential winter storms. The house is well-stocked, clean, comfortable. My kids found sleds in the shed & there are perfect sledding hills right on the property. The house is in a great location to explore everything in Akureyri, Husavik, Myvatn. If you are considering booking Hamragil, do it! You will be well taken care of & you will not regret it!!

Fabulous stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable and spacious lodge. We very much enjoyed the hot tub after long days out sightseeing and the lodge had everything we needed for a great stay. Great communications & smooth check in process.
