We were extremely disappointed with the bathroom..... In the VRBO it doesn't have photos of the bathroom. Now we now why. It is so tiny you barely fit in. Outdoor shower is fine but what happens in the winter and maybe a shower curtain hanging from the door would be helpful. The sofa on the wall of the bedroom doors is way to big. It blocks the bedroom doors half way and you need to turn sideways to get in. Other than this its a great home and location.

Perfect Getaway

This was our first vacation in about 10 years and we enjoyed it so much! The locstuin was beautiful; quiet, pituresque, yet still close to all amenities. Loved having the option to have our own place away from home. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy little place, perfect location to explore Reykjavik and Golden Circle

We stayed 5 days in March at Paradise Cottage and had a great time. The cozy house is in the middle of nature, but still not far from Reykjavik. It is only 15 min to the center. The house had everything we expected and the kitchen is fully equipped, even a Nespresso coffee machine is available. After a day of exploring Reykjavik and the surrounding areas or the Golden Circle we enjoyed sitting on the sofa and looking out of the large windows into nature. It is really a peaceful place. We absolutely enjoyed our time in Paradise Cottage and can highly recommend this accommodation.

Paradise cottage

Peaceful surroundings with a beautiful view of the lake and sounds of birds and loons. Close drive to Reykjavík. This cottage has all the amenities one would need for a getaway. The cottage was very clean and it felt very cosy. The bedrooms were very comfortable with fluffy pillows. The outdoor shower was unique but if you don’t mind quickly running out in the cold mornings, you can actually get a decent shower with hot water. No one will see you btw. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Iceland. You do have to give yourself time to clean up the cottage and change the linens before you leave , so if you have to catch an early flight , just be prepared to wake up earlier. I loved this place and so did my family . The owner can easily be reached via email if you have any questions or concerns and has a quick response . Thank you for allowing us into your beautiful cottage. July 2023

Beautiful well equipped home and location!

I stayed at this beautiful well equipped home for 8 days with my son while visiting Iceland from the US. The location inside Heidmork is absolutely breathtaking on its own! You are basically living within a nature park! The home is only 20 minutes from Reykjavik, so it is a great location to take in the city sights as well as being a home base for touring around the south and west of Iceland. We even spent a day just walking and hiking around Heidmork to break up the trip. The outdoor shower was fun, although my son took a bit to liking it. We adjusted the water heater down from maximum hot to a lower setting so that it was not scalding hot. The jacuzzi was the perfect place to relax in the evening after a long day of exploring. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We made breakfast every day before heading out. We did make homemade pizza one evening and the oven worked perfectly. Having a washing machine in the house helped us to pack light and be able to wash our clothes and towels as needed. Heat was efficient when needed and one day the full sun warmed the house enough that the AC unit had kicked on by itself and kept us comfortable, but that was only one unusually warm day. The hosts communicated everything we needed to know before our arrival, and everything was provided or explained, so we didnt have to bother them at all during our stay. Looking forward to returning in winter!

This charming turf roofed rustic cottage is just 20 minutes from Reykjavik, but is situated in the midst of natural wonders such as a lake, a lava field full of red pseudo-craters, and an inactive volcano you can hike to. Just 10 minutes to the Bonus grocery store and less to a 24 hour gas station and convenience store.

Die Lage des Cottages ist wunderschön. Aber gemessen an anderen Angeboten auf Island stimmt Preis und Leistung hier überhaupt nicht. Besonders ärgerlich ist die Regelung zur Selbstreinigung. Diese Information bekommt man jedoch erst nach der Buchung. Angemerkt sei zudem, dass es dazu aber nicht einmal einen anständigen Staubsauger hat. Solche Regelungen gehören ganz klar in die Beschreibung auf der Plattform. Und wenn schin, dann stellt doch bitte anständiges Equipment zur Verfügung!Der zweite Punkt ist die Aussendusche, bei welcher das Wasser brühend heiss ist. Wenn es schon nur eine Einheitstemperatur gibt kann es doch nicht so schwer sein, diese auf 34 Grad einzustellen? Im WC hat es zwar einen Spiegel und einen Föhn, aber keine Steckdose. Oder sollte man den Boiler ausstecken, um die Haare zu trocknen?Die Einrichtungen sind alt und alles macht den Eindruck, dass hier noch mit möglichst wenig Aufwand möglicht viel Geld verdient wird. 70 m2 Fläche sind sehr optimistisch berechnet. Die Schlafzimmer sind so klein, dass die Betten nur von einer Seite zugänglich sind. Für das Gepäck hat es keinen Platz, die Koffer müssen im Wohnzimmer gelagert werden.Der angemessene Preis würde für eine solche Unterkunft ganz klar bei weniger als der Hälfte liegen. Dann könnte man auch über den einen oder anderen Punkt hinwegsehen. Aber so ist es nur dank der Lage nicht eine Unternull.

Great spot! It is a bit small but for the three of us it worked fine. The only downside is there is no where to leave baggage except in the living room. The hot tub was great. The setting was beautiful. The host was great at communicating. Although directions to the location seemed complicated, they were easy to follow and we got thereThe first try. The host responded in a very timely manner to all requests. The location was at least 15-20 minutes from downtown Reykjavík butItWorked out really well for us. We ate all breakfasts and suppers in. The kitchen worked well. Fridge was large so buying a few groceries was not a problem. There is a great stove, air fryer, toaster, microwave and enough cutlery and serving spoons for many more people than the cabin truly has space for. This would be a great spot for two couples or a family with 3 or fewer kids. I’d highly recommend!

Great spot outside the city

Location is great! 20 minutes into downtown Reykjavik and 3 minutes to the highway to serve as a base for traveling around. The location is quiet and rustic. The cottage is a bit older and needs a bit of upkeep (bedroom door doesn’t close). I agree with others who have said that paying a bit more to have a cleaner come out would be worth it. I loved the outdoor shower and hot tub. Great way to start and end the days of exploring. It’s a bit cramped if you were to have more than 2 people as there’s not a lot of space for gear or unpacking larger suitcases, but it was an ok size for just the two of us.
