We loved our stay at the cabin. It’s a wonderful location and the view could not be any better. The coffee pot and tea pot needed a deep cleaning. There were some issues with the shower leaking and we were only given 5 towels for 5 people but that’s was our only complaint. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our dinners. The beds were comfy. The hot tub had a bit of a learning curve but once we got the hang of it we enjoyed it. Coffee by the living room window was amazing and I never wanted to leave that view. I will remember it forever!

Lovely stay in a stunning location.

Karl’s house is a lovely place to stay on the West coast of Iceland. The location is excellent, with 2 waterfalls easily viewable from the house. The house itself has an oven, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and a hot tub, which uses water from a local hot spring. I appreciate Karl can’t control the weather, but the west coast of Iceland is windy especially in Winter. Overall though our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous cabin

Amazing views and lovely homely feel to the cabin. Having the cabin at 25* was also a welcome treat after the cold weather! Ideal veranda for watching the Aurora out of the wind! Well equipped and supplied with linen and towels. Only improvement would be that the blinds are replaced as very difficult to put away in the day - had to spend a while persuading them to draw back up. Thank you a real treat of a place to stay.

Spectacular location and comfortable home

Unbelievably beautiful location! The views are amazing in all directions. The house is comfortable and as per the photos - three bedrooms, large living area and two bathrooms (which was handy). Kitchen has extensive spice rack and Italian coffee pot as well as a drip coffee, so catering at home is a great option. Hot tub is an added bonus - allow a couple of hours to fill it up and then sit back and enjoy the sounds of the birds.

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful 2-day stay at this gorgeous and comfortable cabin. What a fantastic location - beautiful scenery located on the Borgarfjord and just minutes from town of Borgarnes for groceries and supplies. Great location to embark on day trips to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula or just east towards Husafell and Vidgelmir cave. The home was fully stocked with spices and everything needed to do some home cooking in the kitchen. And the hot tub at night was fabulous! Very comfortable beds, quiet, peaceful and cozy!!

Wonderful 10 year anniversary trip

My husband and I visited Iceland for New Years 8 years ago and knew we would be back to experience it again during the summer . Fast forward to a magical trip with our two young daughters . The house was a wonderful location to explore and easy access to the town for groceries . The views were breathtaking any time of day . My daughters were sure they saw the little trolls behind the house . We will have many memories for a lifetime . We hope to be back again !

A wonderful and cosy start to our holiday

The property has such a cosy feel to it, that we instantly felt relaxed and at home. We arrived at the end of a unseasonably late cold spell, with the garden stream still frozen solid, but the house was utterly warm and comfortable. The views across the frozen estuary were captivating, and the steep mountains a way to the rear also made for a really interesting setting in which to start the holiday. We had one query (about securing the tub) during our stay, and the owner was extremely responsive in helping us figure something out.

Amazing place

Views are incredible and the online photos do not do it justice. This was my fourth trip to Iceland and this was my favorite of all of the VRBO homes we have stayed in. The location was close to town and had all the necessities. A beautiful starting point to venture out to the Snæfellsness Penninsula. The home was perfect, I love the interior door separating the geothermal heating area as I always get very overheated staying in Iceland because most homes interior temps are very high. This door kept the home closer to the temps I am used to in the US. I wish I would have stayed longer but hope to bring my kids to this home some time soon.

This cottage is well placed for exploring the west of Iceland, with Snaefellsness Penisula, Reykjavik and the golden circle route all within easy driving distance. Shopping and cafes can be found in Borgarnes, about 10 minutes drive away. It also provides a good view to the north and west in the event of Northern Lights. The cottage is well appointed, although it's worth noting the stairs are quite steep which may pose a problem for some. The only two drawbacks of the cottage 1) the double bed would benefit from thicker mattress toppper as it is made up from two single beds and 2) the final approach up a narrow gravel track means a 4x4 vehicle would be beneficial, especially in ice or snow.

We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was conveniently located and what a stunning setting and view! Our host (Karl) was very responsive and kind. The place was well stocked with spices and such for cooking, too. The only warning I’d give is that the metal bedside lamps get HOT! My teen son accidentally burned his arm on his as he reached past to plug something in. When I checked things, the whole lamp was super hot. Just something to be more aware of if you are staying with kids. This home was fantastic and we’d happily stay there again in the future/recommend it to others especially if you plan to head to Sneafellsnes. Oh, and DEFINITELY try Hvammsvik Hot Springs if you are looking for a good nearby hot springs spa (go by Rt 1 not the unpaved mountain pass Google wants to send you by). It was a major highlight of our trip!

A very nice holiday home

We stayed in this house for a week in February to have the chance to see the northern lights and get to know Iceland. Unfortunately it didn't work out with the northern lights, so it was all the nicer to spend time in this beautiful house with our friends. It is beautifully situated, has enough space for more than 6 people, is very well equipped and the distance to the next larger town for shopping and eating out is not too far. Our host Karl always endeavoured to keep in touch with us and was always very friendly and kind to us. From all of us a very clear recommendation for this house and its host! Thank you and gladly again at any time! Karsten and friends

Beautifully situated, spectacular views

This is a beautifully situated vacation rental. It has spectacular views, is less than 10 minutes drive to groceries and bakery in Borgarnes, and a good place from which to explore the Snaefellnes Peninsula and the Reykholt Valley. We were fortunate to have amazing Northern lights 2 nights of our 3 night stay. We enjoyed the hot tub and visiting the Krauma spa in the Reykholt Valley. The house is older but well built and stays nice and warm. A few things were a bit quirky - the bathroom does not have an electrical socket for the hair dryer or other appliances (there is one just outside the door). All bedrooms are up a somewhat steep flight of stairs, this could be a challenge for those with mobility problems. The half bath upstairs is a saving grace. We had planned to be 4 adults but our friends could not make it - it would be a bit snug though doable with 4 if you get along well - would not recommend more than 4 adults. If we are back in this part of Iceland would definitely look to stay here again.
