Lovely cottage with a gorgeous view

The cottage was accurately described. It's in a beautiful location with amazing views. Conveniently located to get a head start on a drive around the Snaefellsness peninsula. The hosts are friendly. Communication was easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay

We loved our stay here. The hosts were very nice, going out of their way to give us a tour. The cabin is next to their house but it feels really private and the views are spectacular. I hope to make it back one day and will absolutely stay here again!

Awesome place near Snæfellsjökull National Park

We loved our stay. The cabin was the perfect setup for our family and allowed for a short drive to Snæfellsjökull National Park and then back to Reykjavik during our two day/two night stopover. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Cottage

We only had a short stay, but the host was just fabulous! Very clean and well cared for, spacious enough for a family of 5. The cottage was so charming, we wished we had longer to stay. When we have to opportunity to return to Iceland, we will try and stay here again.

Home with a view

This home is spacious and clean with a fantastic view. The open concept living room with windows all across the front is a perfect place for family to relax after a long day of exploring. The kitchen is large and fully equipped to prepare any meal. I would highly recommend this property for a family of 4 or 5 people.

Great location, cute cottage

The view is splendide, just off route 1 , less than 45 min from the capital. Not far from golden circle. The owners are very friendly. This was our last stay and it will be kept at a great lasting experience.

Perfect end to a wonderful trip

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is great - peaceful and serene yet easy access to multiple destinations. The cottage is charming and nicely appointed - had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting in the comfy furniture and gazing out at the view. Hosts were delightful and had some great recommendations. Already planning to return next year with my husband and we will definitely stay here.

Icelandic Peace

This little cottage is a tiny bit of heaven. So peaceful and relaxing with views all day long - no matter the weather. Room for 5 people, comfy beds, complete kitchen, everything is ideal. The only fault was we couldn’t stay longer!

Great Location, wonderful cottage

This cottage was fantastic for 2 couples. The location is great for exploring the Golden Circle as well as the Snaefellnes Peninsula. Being away from the city offers excellent viewing of the Northern Lights which we had complete with reds and dancing lights on February 4, 2018 for several hours. Close enough to Akranes for groceries(15 minutes) and easy access to Krauma spa (45 minutes).

Beautiful view, cute and functional cabin!

This cabin was a fantastic home for us in Iceland, and our hosts were so welcoming! We made meals and there were plenty of tools and pots/pans. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was very functional. We were nice and warm and loved the view! We were there in May so it was light very late and the shades made the bedrooms plenty dark to be able to sleep. Were I to return to Iceland, I would absolutely stay here again!!

Very friendly owners, beautiful place!!!!!

Dear Adda, Sigurjón and Jónella! Thank you so much for making us feel like we are visiting the family. You all are very nice! The cottage is wonderful and location is superb. The only downside was that we did not have enough time to really appreciate the cottage: traveled long hrs to see the wonders of Iceland. We are planning to come back in a year or so and will ask for your hospitality again.
