Great spot! It is a bit small but for the three of us it worked fine. The only downside is there is no where to leave baggage except in the living room. The hot tub was great. The setting was beautiful. The host was great at communicating. Although directions to the location seemed complicated, they were easy to follow and we got thereThe first try. The host responded in a very timely manner to all requests. The location was at least 15-20 minutes from downtown Reykjavík butItWorked out really well for us. We ate all breakfasts and suppers in. The kitchen worked well. Fridge was large so buying a few groceries was not a problem. There is a great stove, air fryer, toaster, microwave and enough cutlery and serving spoons for many more people than the cabin truly has space for. This would be a great spot for two couples or a family with 3 or fewer kids. I’d highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway

This was our first vacation in about 10 years and we enjoyed it so much! The locstuin was beautiful; quiet, pituresque, yet still close to all amenities. Loved having the option to have our own place away from home. Would definitely recommend!

Such a magical experience! Cozy stay for a couple. Enjoyed the outdoor shower and hot tub. Waking up to the view from the picture window was breathtaking. Twinkle lights, cozy blankets, and quaint radio set the stage for unforgettable moments

Cosy place in a unique environment

The place is wonderful in the middle of a reserve with view on the lake. In the house you find everything for preparing a nice meal or enjoying the evening. The outside shower was surprisingly nice and warm as the hot tub which can be enjoyed even under the rain.

What a beautiful cottage and a place to come relax after a long day out on adventures. The cottage was warm and inviting with everything you would need to snuggle in if you chose. The hosts were gracious and I look forward to coming back and staying. Thank you so much for opening your home for our stay. Cheers!

Perfect little cottage

Paradise cottage was the perfect base camp to explore Iceland. Close to Reykjavik if needed but also in a quiet natural setting with trails to run and explore and a beautiful view. It’s small by American standards (the size was perfectly fine with these Americans) but it has everything you need from cookware, a hairdryer, robes, very comfortable beds and we used the hot tub every day. My entire family agrees that I did a fabulous job finding this gem!

Paradise!!!

What a beautiful little hideaway, We stayed there for 5 days and on the first day it snowed really hard it was AMAZING!!! I would recommend this to all especially those who like peace and quiet this is for you, There is a nature trail right on your doorstep, The shower is located at the side of the house outside which was not as bad as i thought it would be, over all Great experience so glad i went.

Cozy cabin

The view from the cabin over the pond toward the mountains is very nice. The hot tub was magnificent. The top is very heavy, opening it takes 2. Please note the outdoor shower is the only shower. Bathroom is small. Beds are comfy. Kitchen is well equipped. Very quiet relaxing stay. Walking trails nearby a bonus!

Cozy little place, perfect location to explore Reykjavik and Golden Circle

We stayed 5 days in March at Paradise Cottage and had a great time. The cozy house is in the middle of nature, but still not far from Reykjavik. It is only 15 min to the center. The house had everything we expected and the kitchen is fully equipped, even a Nespresso coffee machine is available. After a day of exploring Reykjavik and the surrounding areas or the Golden Circle we enjoyed sitting on the sofa and looking out of the large windows into nature. It is really a peaceful place. We absolutely enjoyed our time in Paradise Cottage and can highly recommend this accommodation.

Paradise Cottage

Beautiful natural setting in a watershed conservation area, dirt roads, cozy cottage, well appointed. We stayed for about a week and rented a car. You will need a car if you’d like to stay here. About 20 minutes from downtown. On Google maps type in “paradise cottage”… much easier that trying to follow the directions. Nice being able to shop and cook, as well as do laundry. Shower is outside, but nice hot water. Hot tub is great!! Walking trails accessible from the yard… lots of birds to see!!

Paradise it is!

This place is wonderful! Great location overlooking a lake with mountain skyline. A deck where we ate our breakfast each morning, and a hot tub where we spent each evening after touring. For anyone who like to stay out in the countryside but still be near the city, this is the place! It is not a hotel or a traditional house in the city. It is unconventional... we thought of it as "glamping"! We were nervous when we read that the shower is outdoors, but it was not just OK, it was great! You do have to do all your own cleaning of linens and towels, and you have to clean the bathroom and floors before you leave. But this saves money because they don't charge a cleaning fee, so this is better. All around, highly recommended!

Beautiful nature park cottage

We greatly enjoyed the decks and views in the nature environment. Hot tub was great for relaxing after the day. Good proximity to stores and the city. What was challenging were 2 things: 1) ONLY an outdoor shower, an outdoor shower is nice in good weather but when cold and raining it was not good at all, the bathroom was not a good set up. Also: 2) It was excessively stressed in notes to "guests" - SELF CLEANING - which in over 70 VRBOs we've stayed it - we clean up and leave it as we found it - after a week we don't usually clean under the beds - unless something required that. That to us is an owner's responsibility for periodic cleaning and arrangement for the next guests. After 3 weeks in Iclenad - a wonderul country, we were glad we had the experience at the cottage but wouldn't stay there again. Takk fyrir.

Paradise cottage

Peaceful surroundings with a beautiful view of the lake and sounds of birds and loons. Close drive to Reykjavík. This cottage has all the amenities one would need for a getaway. The cottage was very clean and it felt very cosy. The bedrooms were very comfortable with fluffy pillows. The outdoor shower was unique but if you don’t mind quickly running out in the cold mornings, you can actually get a decent shower with hot water. No one will see you btw. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Iceland. You do have to give yourself time to clean up the cottage and change the linens before you leave , so if you have to catch an early flight , just be prepared to wake up earlier. I loved this place and so did my family . The owner can easily be reached via email if you have any questions or concerns and has a quick response . Thank you for allowing us into your beautiful cottage. July 2023
