Kathryn and Klaus have done such a nice job that it made it hard to leave. The place is restorative and we hope to return. Fully recommend the location outside of Reykjavik but near enough to jump to interesting places.Also notable birds included a short eared owl, Snipes and Godwit nearby.

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.

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!
