Upon arrival, we were impressed by the beautiful landscapes. The cabin itself was clean and modern. From the central space, one window offered a view of Icelandic horses. The other was nearly floor to ceiling where we caught sight of the Northern Lights.
Renate was quick to respond and help us when we reached out. The guidebook in the cottage has helpful information as well. The cottage is in good proximity to Reykjavik and close to Ring Road for those planning to drive it. If you’re looking to escape to a slice of natural paradise, I highly recommend staying here- we had an amazing time!
Tolles Haus, in noch tollerer Lage.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und auch die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin war super freundlich und unkompliziert. Wirklich mehr als empfehlenswert und wir kommen sehr gern wieder!!

Host was extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Cottage was perfect for us as a base from which to explore.
My only wish was that we got to stay longer! We absolutely loved our stay in the cabin. The location near the river was amazing- I couldn’t pull myself away from the view on the front porch and out of the front windows. The check in process was extremely easy and the host was amazing. Very clean and had everything we needed! We will recommend the cabins as a must-stay location to any friends who want to visit Iceland.
Our place was far enough off the main road to feel remote,but close enough to be easily accessible to places we wanted to go. Our owner was amazing. Responded quickly and very personable.
