In the middle of nowhere

We arrived in the evening, driving through clouds unable to see anything. We awoke to find we were surrounded 360 degrees by gorgeous mountains! We were awed!It was a bit of a drive on a dirt road but well worth it. The house was great. As described. The hot tub was an added treat. Lots of hiking and waterfalls everywhere too!Everything was great and communications were easy. Thank you

Why they chose this property

Ólafsfjörður is one of the most beautiful fjord in Iceland, yet not so visited. It is authentic: the mountains are untouched, few people around, friendly locals in nearby town and a few farmers.
If you want the essence of Icelandic country site culture, this is the place to see.

What makes this property unique

Hidden Cottages stand out due to the location, high class windows and hot tubs.
The location is in the "middle of nowhere" yet only a few minutes drive to the next town and attractions. It is surrounded by mountains and green fields, with views out the fjord over lake Ólafsfjarðarvatn and to the ocean.
Due to no light pollution, the location is the best for Northern Lights.
