June 2026Jaw-dropping vistas
This is a beautifully designed, "chalet" style home in a pristine valley located less than 20 minutes from Iceland's second largest city. It's a perfect jumping off point to explore the less travelled North end of the island. The driving distances are significant but not to be missed. Depending on your flight arrival times, consider driving one way between Reykjavik and Akureyri and flying in the reverse. The host was gracious and helpful in every respect. Put it on your bucket list!”
