Hvalfjarðarsveit Cottage with Large Wooden Deck, Mountain View + Great Location
Remote, quiet location, yet only 40 minutes from Reykjavík. Our Cottage is located in West Iceland with a view over Lake Eiðisvatn, the Hvalfjörður fjord and the spectacular mountains around the fjord. It's behind the small village of Melahverfi, which is signposted on the ring road and around 15 minutes away from Akranes.
In autumn and winter, this is also a good place to watch the Northern Lights. Although the view is wonderful, you can't help but see an aluminium plant a few kilometres away. We don't mind this sight - we live in our house next to the Cottage.
Our cottage has a spacious living, dining and kitchen area, 1 bathroom (sink, toilet and shower) and 2 bedrooms. In one bedroom can sleep 3 people, the other 2 people. The large veranda with panoramic view also invites you to linger.
You can park your car on our property directly in front of the parking sign for guests. The path on the left side leads past our house, directly to the Cottage.
If you have questions or need help - no problem ... We live next door - you can contact us at any time !

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!

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.

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!

Home with a view
This home is spacious and clean with a fantastic view. The open concept living room with windows all across the front is a perfect place for family to relax after a long day of exploring. The kitchen is large and fully equipped to prepare any meal. I would highly recommend this property for a family of 4 or 5 people.

Beautiful view, cute and functional cabin!
This cabin was a fantastic home for us in Iceland, and our hosts were so welcoming! We made meals and there were plenty of tools and pots/pans. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was very functional. We were nice and warm and loved the view! We were there in May so it was light very late and the shades made the bedrooms plenty dark to be able to sleep. Were I to return to Iceland, I would absolutely stay here again!!
