Beautiful location and adorable cottage!

We loved our stay here! We wanted to be fairly isolated and away from lights to increase our chances of seeing auroras. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, but we still had a wonderful time! The house was super clean and well appointed with everything you would need for your stay away from home. The decorations were lovely and perfectly and tastefully done. We could hear the nearby river, and sheep bleating, which just added to the ambiance. We even had a visit from a ptarmigan! Even though this house is fairly remote, it was still easy access for our western explorations.

Wonderful base to explore western Iceland

This cabin was beautiful and cozy, immaculate, secluded, yet close to so many sites to see in western Iceland. Gas station was 5 minutes away. Groceries 20 minutes. Waterfalls, Geothermal baths, even Icelandic horse riding was only 10 minutes away! Our family of 5 enjoyed the lovely view to the glacier and also the wetland. Love that the cabin has a mudroom, to take off shoes before entering the house. Living area and kitchen are spacious and beautifully appointed, containing everything you need to cook a meal and be comfortable after a long day out hiking and exploring. Dishwasher was great to have. My only minor critique would be that bedrooms are on the small side and my husband and I decided that we would sleep in the room with the single beds, rather than in the room with the double bed (the person furthest from the door would have to climb over the other person to exit if need be). Small issue really. We were comfy and warm and everyone was so happy with our stay!!

A lovely summer cottage

We enjoyed the beautiful views and comfortable, attractive interior of the home. It was a good location for taking a day trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and going on a lava tube tour and seeing the Hraunfossar waterfall.
