A wonderful home base for exploring the Weatfjords

This is a lovely home—comfortable and spotlessly clean—in a beautiful location. It is in the perfect location for exploring the Westfjords. You can enjoy exploring the immediate vicinity or visit the bird cliffs of Látrabjarg for a day trip. Rikki and Judi are helpful and responsive hosts. We would definitely stay there again.

A great Westfjords location

The check in was very easy and our hosts were very communicative. The house was very clean and had plenty of space. Although, there were only two of us, there is plenty of room for a larger group. A great location close to town and easy access to many amazing sites/ hikes in the area. It is a Bit of a drive to the Westfjords, but well worth it. If you plan to visit the area this home is well worth it. Thanks!

Wonderful house in the Westfjords

We had an absolutely great time in Judiths House. It is spatious and has everything to feel like home, with love to every detail. We loved it there and love to visit Hnifsdalur again. In two nights we had a spectacular Northern lights show just behind the house!

A great location and great property

We stayed for three nights at the house. This is exactly what we needed for the middle of our trip - quiet, secluded, and beautiful area. We felt right at home from the start. We had a group of three photography friends traveling together. The location was stunning and it was everything we were looking for to call home. The host was very responsive to our initial booking request and our questions along the way. From a house layout and cleanliness perspective, everything was great. I’d definitely stay here again.

A home away from home

We were pleasantly surprised with all the amenities at the house. Comfortable beds, couches, fully stocked kitchen and laundry and a great games room. What’s not to like? The outside decks were very nice as well. This was a wonderful quiet place to stay!

The Perfect Escape

My husband and infant joined me for work in Iceland and we stayed at this property for a few days after I was finished on personal time. It was 6 hours from Reykjavik and an off road vehicle was definitely needed, but you felt like you were in a National Geographic show. Perfect scenery, perfect house, and perfect hosts. Every amenity we needed was available, more than enough space, and Judi was incredibly kind and responsive. Would stay here again and again. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Feels like home.

It was the third time that we stayed in this cosy house in Hnifsdalur. That speaks for itself. We almost feel at home here. It got all we need, the house is comfortable, it is a good base camp for hikes and excursions. We will definitely come a fourth time.

These were truly wonderful hosts with good communication. It is a private and quiet home with beautiful hikes all around. Restaurants and groceries are nearby, about 4km away. The house has everything you need to cook at home too. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.

Westfjords North Comfy Home

Felt right at home in this quiet small neighborhood with a gorgeous backdrop of cliffs. Well stocked and really clean. We came to ecplore the northern fjords and this location was great for visiting all the small towns, hiking, biking, tours, etc. Isafjordur and shopping about a mile or two away. Rikki and Judith easy to communicate with. Would definitely go back again!
