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!

The house was beautiful and the views are to die for. Would absolutely stay here again! They were very responsive to all questions we had and even showed our son the horses to pet!

Such amazing views in this super cozy cabin! We felt right at home, and was a great location near Borgarnes. Super easy to hop on the road and go sight-see, then come back to a nice warm home after.

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.

Beautiful location with the perfect view and the host was lovely, made sure to check in with us to make sure we were all set for our stay. Would recommend the location and house, had great amenities and design.

The location is great if you want to have an experience in iceland away from Reykjavik but still close to fun tourist attractions. Husafell has plenty to offer while the home itself is spaced nicely away from other houses in this small neighborhood within this little village. The house itself is magnificent. Heated floor makes the house so warm and welcoming. The beds are very comfortable and all the amenities are just over the top nice and high qaulity. I've stayed at AirBnBs that were much more expensive and had uncomfortable beds and skimped on every amenity, this was a very welcome surprise compared to those experiences. My favorite was the hot tub which actually used the natural hot water from the ground rather than a heating mechanism... so essentially you are getting your very own hot springs experience included with this rental! The sauna was also a favortite among a number in our party. Would lvoe to come back and spoend more time here!

The cabin was perfect and we had a great host. Check in was flexible and the location was easy to find.

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.
