The house was unique as the host is an artist and has decorated the place with many of their art. Communication was good from pre-booking, check in and throughout the stay. The place is in a town 45 minutes out of Reykjavík but convenient enough for a relaxing stay or a base to tour the western part of Iceland. Overall a great stay.

Lovely house in this town. The photos on the website led us to imagine it was surrounded by open space, but there are neighboring houses. However, the views from inside the house, through large, clean picture windows could not have been better! Beautiful views of soaring mountains across the bay. We thought it was a great place.

We really enjoyed staying in this spacious and comfortable house. What an amazing location, right by the sea with the most spectacular views! It was a great place to base ourselves for a few days sightseeing - highlights were whale watching from Olafsvik and the Canyon Baths in Husafell- and we liked Borganes too

Pros: The view and the art make this a beautiful vacation choice. We were looking for a place where we could relax after a bus tour around Iceland and this was exactly what we had envisioned. The kitchen was well-equipped and there are books to read. Several restaurants, grocery stores and the public pool and spa are within walking distance.Cons: Wifi went out a couple of times but came back quickly. The hot water has a strong sulphur smell, which is normal for this region of Iceland but which we found difficult to get used to.

Stunning property and location
The house was immaculate and the host, Michelle, gave us many tips on places to visit. Borgarnes is ideal for exploring the west and southwest of Iceland but the views from every window were so amazing that we were tempted to just stay and enjoy the stunning location! This property exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

Great home with an incredible view. House was clean and Michelle was very easy to work with. She provided lots of useful information about the area and things to do/see. We were fortunate to be in Iceland during the 2023 eruption and you could see the smoke plume from the living room!

Making the most of 4 days in West Iceland
This was a great location, lovely house and Michelle is a warm, super host. She gave us lots of tips to make sure we made the most of our time here. We packed so much in! The house is extremely relaxing- I loved the views in all directions. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. My son took up the opportunity to paint with Michelle and really enjoyed it. We’ve had a very special time here. Definitely recommend this spot.

Beautiful home, wonderful host!
We had a wonderful time! The home was beautiful, and the views unbeatable. Michelle was a fantastic host. There was fresh bread from a nearby bakery awaiting us when we arrived. When asked for tips about things to do, she gave us great ideas. And, my two daughters had a great time painting with her when we took her up on the offer of complimentary painting lessons. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Fun art house
Michelle was lovely and the house is very fun with all the art. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequate. For us it wasn't five stars because none of the bedrooms had any side tables for the beds, there were also no side or coffee tables in the living room, the wind woke us up a couple nights and it wasnt even a storm or anything , that's the usual (obviously not anything Michelle can do about that), and the sulphur smelling hot water was really pungent (again, not the owner's fault!). The view is amazing and the neighborhood is cute. Good location for exploring the northwest part of the island.

thank you for your kind review. I am delighted you enjoyed your stay. So sorry that you encountered some weather. That is typical for Iceland. The water smells like sulfur because we receive our water directly from geothermal source. Hope you took home wonderful memories.

Wonderful cozy home
The house was beautifully situated with incredible views and comfortable furnishings. It was perfect for our group of 6 —a mix of family and friends—as we explored Iceland for the first time. We loved getting to know Borgarnes and the Settlement Center. The drive to Reykjavík was a little longer than we expected but it wasn’t prohibitive for our plans. The only thing that we wished for was laundry access on premises, but even that wasn’t too inconvenient. We stayed 6 nights, and I wish we had been able to stay longer.
The host was responsive and friendly, very helpful when we unexpectedly had a flat tire.
The Art House will have a special place in all of our hearts and memories.

Wonderful stay!
We really enjoyed staying in Michelle's home and enjoying her wonderful hospitality!
Borganes is a lovely town with a couple of very nice restaurants within walking distance of the property. The home is beautifully decorated, very clean, and very comfortable. We enjoyed a lot of time just sitting in the living room enjoying the view of the mountains and the inlet. The beds were all very comfortable, and the curtains were effective at blocking out light.
We really appreciated the nice coffee machine, and while we didn't do any cooking, the kitchen was well appointed.
Michelle was very responsive before and during our stay, and was a great host. She met us for check-in and was readily available, but also gave us plenty of privacy. The art lesson in her studio downstairs was a lot of fun and very informative. We will certainly stay here again the next time we are in Borganes!

Spacious apartment in gorgous setting
My wife and I and another couple used this as our base for a quick 4-day trip to Iceland and it was great. The setting was beautiful and it was a convenient launching point for excursions to Snaefellness peninsula, Grabrok caldera, or back down to Reykjavik and the Golden Circle. One night we could see the aurora borealis from the kitchen window.
Michelle was an enthusiastic and delightful hostess, checking in on us once a day and a font of valuable information about what to see and do.
The apartment is well-equipped and vibrantly decorated with Michelle's artwork. She directed us to a great restaurant within walking distance of the house where we feasted on lamb, fish, and icelandic lobster. The town sport and health center was a great place to relax in the hot tubs at the end of the day (less than $5 per adult admission fee).

Schöner Urlaub.
Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von fünf Personen über Silvester in diesem Haus.
Das Haus liegt am Ende einer Sackgasse, also schön ruhig. Der Ausblick aus dem Wohnzimmer ist wunderschön. Man braucht kein Fernseher. Man schaltet einfach die Lichter aus und schaut nach draußen. Wir hatten auch das Glück die Nordlichter zu sehen. Das Haus ist perfekt gelegen. Etwas weiter weg von Reykjavik um ruhe zu haben (und kein Lichtersmog) und trotzdem alles in der Nähe.
Alles in Allem ein perfekt gelegenes Haus mit einer super netten Gastgeberin. Ich würde jeder zeit wieder hier Urlaub machen wollen.

Schönes Haus mit kleinen Abstrichen
Schönes sauberes Haus direkt am Meer mit tollem Blick.
Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin.
Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Bequeme Betten, Verdunklungsmöglichkeit in allen 3 Schlafzimmern.
Einzig das Badezimmer war nicht so komfortabel wie erhofft. Mini-Waschbecken und in die Jahre gekommene Dusche / Wanne mit Duschvorhang.
Die Küche war größtenteils gut ausgestattet. Keine Spülmaschine, keine Möglichkeit um draußen zu grillen, tiefe Teller für Nudeln und Kaffetassen fehlten leider. Schön war, dass Gewürze, Öl, Essig, Kaffee und Tee vorhanden waren. Kleines TK-Fach im Kühlschrank und gutes schnelles WLAN. Kein TV. Hat uns aber nicht gestört, denn zum Fernsehen waren wir nicht auf Island.
Auf Grund der Lage für 2-3 Übernachtungen durchaus empfehlenswert.

Great Views with Artistic Flair
This artist's home is the most unique place we have ever rented. This flat was spacious, well equipped and most of all, had spectacular views from the living room. The artist's collection of works are prominently displayed in this flat, while she creates more art in a studio in a separate apartment below the main floor. The owner (resident artist) was extremely helpful in acclimating our family to the Borgarnes community. This home is within walking distance to fine dining and local hangouts. Oh, and the goat farm that is 45 minutes away is a hoot!
