Sjónarhóll is a small wooden holiday house in the remote valley Fnjóskadalur, in North Iceland. Despite its remoteness, it is only a 25 minutes drive from Akureyri and it is situated right in between Akureyri, Húsavík and Lake Mývatn.

The two-bedroom cabin is nicely organised and has a cosy attic with an additional sleeping area with two single beds, if needed. The small but fully equipped kitchen has all necessary cooking equipment and a microwave. The living room corner invites to relax and the fireplace will make sure you stay warm and cosy on a cold winter night. There is a TV, DVD and radio/CD. Bathroom with a WC/shower.

Outside is a beautiful 60 sqm terrace with plenty of garden furniture, hot tub and a gas grill. You are going to love a delicious barbecue on this terrace. The house is surrounded by a lot of green and no one will disturb you here. Parking close to the house.
