This is a beautiful little cottage on a gorgeous fjord. It is tucked back in a wooded area and is full of lovely Icelandic art and treasures everywhere you turn. The cottage had everything we needed or wanted and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you Stefan for sharing your place with us.

One of the favorite places we’ve stayed

We absolutely loved staying here. Although it’s a good half hour from Reykjavik, it was well worth the drive for the natural beauty and quiet that the property has to offer. The house is charming with everything you need, and very comfortable beds. We will be back!

What an amazing place. We stayed in Stefan’s beach house for a week and had the best time. Perfect distance from Reykjavik so it was easy to get to (about 40 minutes) but were away from everything. Watching the seals, ducks, and shorebirds from the deck was a highlight. I’m not sure how many places you can relax in the hot tub and watch the northern lights but this was the place for us. House is small but had everything we needed to make it a great first trip to Iceland. Would definitely stay there again if we are ever back in Iceland. Thank you Stefan for sharing this place with us!

Beautiful beach house!

We stayed 3 nights. Very clean, my kids (7 and 9) loved the loft. I loved the large windows out to the ocean. We saw seals pretty much every day playing in the water. I would recommend staying here.Host were easy to contact and great at getting back to you.

Peace with a stunning view

After a week and a half cycling in Spain, my wife and I enjoyed a long weekend at this stellar home. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with the scenic vistas surrounding us, as well as viewing the wildlife. Our hosts curated a warm and welcoming environment through a home with beautiful architecture with phenomenal interior design choices. Staying here truly made our first visit to Iceland special and we look forward to returning again one day!

Escape from it all in this beautiful cabin on the water with breathtaking views. It is 20+ minutes from any restaurants, gas or grocery stores — so plan accordingly.

The location and quality of the cottage was lovely, but the owners returned during one of our outings, let themselves inside the premises, and dropped off some chair cushions of their own accord. This was unsettling and we understand they were probably only trying to be helpful, but the whole point of renting an entire cottage is to have privacy. The bed linens were rather rough/scratchy. Overall, it was a very nice stay.

Cozy and private with amazing views!

The house is very secluded, so we thought we were in the wrong place. We called Stefan and he talked to us on the phone until we got to the house. He was very nice, helpful and patient. The house is great. Very rustic and cozy. There was coffee and other basic kitchen items provided. Wifi was great. Hot tub was wonderful to relax in after a long day. It was very quiet and peaceful. We slept very well! We witnessed beautiful sunsets and saw cool wildlife including seals. 100% recommend staying here!

Beautiful, relaxing family vacation stay

Our family of 4 with two boys ages 17 and 20 enjoyed our stay in mid-July. The beautiful views from the house to the fjord and mountains are much better than the photos in the posting can show. The location is very quiet in a secluded area with trees surrounding the property giving privacy. The beds were very comfortable - loft is best with older children. Hot tub was wonderful! Owner was very responsive to our questions and very helpful during check-in. We would definitely consider staying again.

An amazing stay just outside of Reykjavik

We stayed at Stefan's cabin for three days and two nights, and wow was it breathtaking. During our stay we were able to enjoy a stunning Aurora Borealis light show from both the comfort of the hot tub and the cool of the nearby beach. The home is well stocked with basic amenities and we were able to cook for ourselves during our stay. The nearest store / restaurant is about 45min out, so having a fully stocked kitchen was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would love the change to visit again in the future.

Iceland Adventure

Our family had a fantastic trip to Iceland, Stefan place was perfectly situated for our day travels to Waterfalls, horse back riding, thermal pools. If you like a secluded location you will enjoy this place. Great little fireplace lots of wood. The place looks right out over the bay, saw seals basking in the sun almost every morning. Literally 1 hour from the airport but a world away. We would return no question.
