This was the perfect place for our family of five. Incredible views in a peaceful, restorative environment. We loved exploring Borgarnes and felt like this was a home away from home.

A true hidden gem! We loved this homey cottage in nature. After a week doing the loop, we spent our last 5 days here doing daytrips to Husafell, Thingvellir NP, and Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Nearby Borgarnes has restaurants, grocery and a fun Viking Museum (The Settlement Center) that was quite well done. The spaceous patio was a great place to view the solar eclipse. Margret was an excellent communicator and even checked in to let us know of some nearby road closures during our stay. The home is a bit challenging to find using GPS, but one you are off 1, the directions she provided with pictures made it simple to navigate. They have thought of everything. Beds were comfy, extra towels, and special screens on some of the bedroom windows as it was rather warm during our stay. No list of check out procedures.

Amazing, quiet destination with the best views

The views from this property and deck were beyond words. It was exactly what my family needed to relax in Iceland for a couple days. The host was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. I greatly appreciated this property and would go back in a heartbeat!

Very cosy, private accomodation with handy extras - kitchen items, books, games. The kids loved the bunks. We got to see the Aurora from the deck! Loved the silence - absolutely no light or noise pollution. It was a shame the sauna wasn’t working and we struggled with the hot tub temperature but Margaret was very responsive and helpful in fixing that. Very happy to recommend.

Nice cabin in a beautiful location. We were never able to get the hot tub working correctly due to a fault temp gauge. On our last night is was almost usable. The gps coordinates dont take you to the correct location but the host provides instructions which get you there eventually. If they can get the temperature control for the house and hot tub fixed this would be an amazing stay. The host is responsive, nice, and the cabin is very clean.

Perfect!

This place was so wonderful, and Margret and Fredrik are terrific hosts, very responsive and helpful. My husband and I stayed here for four nights with one other couple. We loved the location, and loved coming back to it after a day of hiking, etc., to cook dinner and to enjoy the hot tub. The one rainy day we had was saved by the fact that we could hang out and enjoy the views: the horses across the way, the mountains in the distance. The kitchen has everything you could need, including the quietest dishwasher. We agreed, it was one of the best things about our trip to Iceland. (and we had plenty of wonderful experiences!)

Perfect Stay

The property is just as listed. The cabin is located on a gravel road out on private property near a lake. The view was beautiful and although there are a couple other cabins nearby, they are basically invisible from the house. It was definitely the perfect cabin getaway. Margrét was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Due to the location off a small road and through gravel roads, I recommend arriving before dark. Margrét provided excellent directions, however it was difficult to see the small roads in the dark. If given the opportunity, I would stay at this cabin again.

Location was beautiful - just like the pictures. You should include even more pics of the river which is almost right at the end of the driveway - what a great view. We spent time wading through the river and I enjoyed running through the area and the fields. Once we went off the main road to the house, we only saw one other car - pure quiet. Easy access to Borgarnes which we went to multiple days. The main living room is spectacular with windows on 3 sides. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Outdoor shower was very useful, hot tub is great. Know sauna room heater needs fixing so was not available - will be great for future guests. I would gladly stay again and highly recommend for those who enjoy the outdoors. Thank you for sharing your home with our family from the USA - Iceland is wonderful.

This is a place to return to again and again

This is not a standard Vrbo. This is a lovely home in a remote area beside a river. The owners could not be better. They were available, but they were not at all intrusive. They made sure to alert us to a yellow Highwind day. I am from a place with Highwinds, but I could not have anticipated the intensity of a yellow alert, and it would have been difficult and dangerous to drive, or to hike on exposed mountain trails . The home has a cabin feel to it, but it has very modern infrastructure. Do not come here to be loud, noisy and reckless because it is clearly someone’s home. Come here to be in nature, to step away from your every day, busy life, and experience, equal parts, piece, and exhilaration.

Sehr schön gelegenes Haus. Erreichbar ist es über einen Schotterweg (ca 1km) - das muss man bei der Auswahl des Mietwagens bedenken. Einziger Haken aus unserer Sicht: das Haks hat nur ein Badezimmer. Ist korrekt so beschrieben gewesen, aber muss man bedenken, wenn man alle angebotenen Betten belegt. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit in Island und die nette Kommunikation!

Very nice cabin with a great view of the river and several glaciers and mountains

About 20 minutes from Borgarnes. Cabin was comfortable and convenient to many of the sites in the south/southwest area of Iceland. About 45 min to Snaefellsjokull Natl Park and other sites on the peninsula. Recommend stopping at a grocery store before getting to the cabin. Borgarnes has a Netto and Bonus store. Both good. Also, there are gas stations right in town. We were a family of 5 adults and were comfortable. It would have been a bit crowded with more than 5 adults. Also, the road to the house from the highway is a bit rough. We had an all wheel drive SUV, so no issues. Otherwise, we enjoyed the stay and woould recommend this place as a base for seeing the sites on the south and east side of the island.
