About the host
Hosted by Erlingur Örn Hafsteinsson
Erlingur & Ingvar started their business in 20th of September 2013 when they bought their first land in Grimsnes, south of Iceland. They used up their savings for the down payment and got a loan to pay the rest. They started planting treas and digging for streams. On 17th of June 2014 they received their first shipment of material for building Versalir cabin. They worked very hard, along side their jobs as engineers in Reykjavik, for 9 months building this cabin.
On 10th of March 2015 the first guests arrived to Versalir cabin. Two couples from India. Since then they have done all sorts of stuff. They will continue to focus on their cabin business and also other projects that they are passionate about. Their newest property is Breidablik cabin which is absoulutly stunning!
Ingvar:
„We want to create that wow factor and also that our customers experience best possible comfort in our properties. Renting out a property is not just about selling a bed each night, it is about selling people the best vacation experience they have ever lived. The memories created in our properties will last a life time.“
Erlingur:
„We focus on making our properties breathtaking. We are grateful to be a part of people's vacation and to participate in people experiencing comfort and creating fond memories – Our slogan is kind of like: Don't buy accommodation, buy experience"
