Small but smart use of space was plenty spacious for our family of 5. The hot tub was a beautiful place to see the northern lights (yes! We got some). Host was communicative and friendly. There is no oven but a stovetop and a wonderful grill. Would recommend

Cute little set of two cabins with beautiful views. Somewhat centrally located for southern ring travels. The hot tub was relaxing and the deck was nice for extra space. Please note that the sleeping quarters are in two separate buildings and the only shower is in the main cabin. Only real draw back for our family were little things like no handle on the smaller cabin bathroom door so it didn’t stay shut. Other than that, it was a sufficient place to relax and sleep for the next days adventures.

What nice hosts! They sent us information on local activities and such. Everything was clean and the jacuzzi was such a nice treat after long days of hiking. They have heated towel racks and extra heaters, which we found helpful after a day of hiking in the rain! The kitchen was very nice although you do have to wash your own dishes. But mostly everything you would need to prep a meal in the kitchen was provided. Thank you for an amazing stay! If I'm back in Iceland I would definitely go back there again.
