Great Home, Fantastic View!
This home (Kaldbakur) and its location are remarkable. First, the setting: It’s on the Eyjafjörður Fjord and is very near the water with no structures in between. We had snow just before we arrived and the view was incredibly beautiful. The aurora arrived that first night (KP Index of 5) and it was amazing. This location is suitably dark (and beautiful) for aurora photography. So, if you don’t feel like trekking out into the darkness, you can a get nice aurora photos from your house (assuming the right camera and lens). Every morning, a herd of sleep walks between the home and the water to graze (usually away from the house). In the evening, they head back to wherever they spend the night. It’s quite fun to watch. Regarding how the hot pot (hot tub) works, it takes roughly two hours to fill. You fill it by turning a key in the kitchen pantry. It is large and deep so you do not need to wait for it to become completely full to get in (saves a little water, too). I’d guess the temperature is around 102-103 F. In other words, perfect for a soak. New hot water continues to feed into the hot pot, maintaining the temperature. It is surrounded by the house on three sides and is therefore protected from wind. After you get out, turn the key in the pantry and the hot pot drains. The house is nicely decorated in a modern style. Large windows bring the view into every room. It is a lovely place to spend time in. Would I recommend this rental? Absolutely!

Comfortable stay with breathtaking views
This is a gorgeous property with stunning views. Everything inside and out was truly perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, morning coffees on the deck, and lounging until late listening to music. The entire space was meticulously decorated and very clean. Staying here is worth shifting your itinerary if necessary. Make sure to go to Akureyri too. It’s just a short drive away, and a wonderful place to visit.

Amazing location
A stunning home overlooking the fjord and mountains but still close to a major town for necessities. Watching the sun set over the mountains at midnight from the hot tub is an experience I will remember for a long time. The home was nicely stocked and had everything we needed. Thomas was great with instructions and overall communication. The hot tub cover is a little tricky to use and takes a long time to fill but great once you are in! Otherwise I would just recommend some new pillows as a minor update. Overall though, this was one of the the most beautiful places I've ever stayed.

This is a nice modern house in a fantastic location overlooking the fjord. One of our favorite stays in Iceland. Note that the house was missing some basics, such as shampoo, body wash and coffee (but there is a coffee maker), which is quite unusual for Iceland and was a bit of an unpleasant surprise - make sure to plan accordingly. Otherwise, a perfect stay and a good base for exploring Lake Myvatn, Husavik, Akureyri, etc.

Our favourite house
This is our 2nd time staying in Kaldbakur and by far our favourite house in Iceland or possibly in entire world. Clean, quiet, warm and very comfortable. We got snowed in for 2 days during our stay and we just enjoyed spending time in the house relaxing, listening to the music, soaking in the hot tub, appreciating the incredible views, etc. We love this place and it certainly will not be the last time we stay here. Will be back again soon.

Our family of four enjoyed our quiet stay. There was plenty of things to do during the day: whale watching, waterfalls, lava falls, shopping and dining. The view from the house was lovely and we really liked soaking in the hot pot after a full day of sightseeing.

My wife an I had an absolutely lovely stay. The house is beautiful, and the location is just amazing. We enjoyed the view over the fjord from the hot pot, and watching the Northern Lights right out of the bedroom. Just a short drive from Akureyri but a perfect little secluded hideaway with all the conveniences of home.

Best Rental I've Ever Had
As the title suggests, this is literally the best home rental I've ever purchased. The photos are beautiful, but it's impossible for them to capture the charming details of the space and the majesty of the mountain range and fjord that sit right outside the back door. I came with four friends for a trip around Iceland and we stayed here for two nights. My friends were equally floored; even more so when we caught a memorable Northern Lights show through the large glass windows with the crystal clear sound system playing in the background. I could go on, but just go ahead and rent this place -- you'll be so glad you did.
