Perfect Accomodation
This property is a dream! The views are incredible, even when it’s cloudy. It’s peaceful and offers the right amount of privacy. Plenty of room for a family of 4. The house had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Check-in and check-out were simple and the location is easy to find. It’s a great spot to stay to explore this side of Iceland. An easy drive to Reykjavik and beautiful scenic routes to Akranes and other destinations. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our trip!

Amazing property. Really enjoyed staying there and would definitely recommend and/or stay again if the occasion arose.Yes, it is remote and requires car hire from there to see the sights but it was exactly what we wanted. Using the hot tub overlooking the water with that amazing view! Bucket list items ticked!!

Perfect getaway
This property was perfect for my husband and I. We saw the northern lights from the deck 2 out of the 6 nights we stayed. The kitchen was stocked with coffee pods and spices. Figuring out how to regulate the temp in the hot tub took a day, but we learned how long to leave the lid off to acheuve the perfect twmp.

Fantastic view
This property was perfect for our family of 4. It was so relaxing and the views were absolutely beautiful. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need to cook at home. We had an amazing time in Iceland and having this house to come home to after a day of exploring was fantastic. You will absolutely need an all wheel vehicle to get there since the road leading to the house is not paved and has big potholes. Also, you will need to plan your trips to the grocery store and gas station since the house is not near any. The last thing I need to mention is give yourself time on the last day to get all the cleaning and laundry done. I would have loved to have been given the option of paying a fee vs cleaning ourselves. It was a little stressful on the day we are trying to get to the airport which is 1 hr and 20 mins away from house. So definitely plan accordingly.

Lovely spot for a quiet Iceland stay
Jakob and Elsa's cottage is a wonderful blend of comfort, quiet and accessibility. We loved the coziness of the space even on wet, windy days. The northern light viewing was spectacular on clear nights and the proximity to Thingvellir National Park was really nice. We cooked most every meal in the well-accomodated kitchen. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom met our needs very well.

A hot tub and a breathtaking view guarantee relaxing holidays ;o)
Pleasantly located next to an idyllic fjord and only a few dozen kilometers from Iceland‘s main attractions along the „Golden Circle“, the house offers a great hub for excursions throughout the southern and western parts of this beautiful country. The interior is furnished in Scandinavian design and offers all amenities needed by the adventurous traveller. Major bonus is the hot tub located on a cliff overlooking the fjord.

A warm, comfortable getaway with beautiful views
We had an amazing time at the cabin- situated in a quiet but extremely beautiful edge of the fjord, where you never tire of the view. The cabin was warm and tasteful , with comfortable beds to jump into at the end of some busy days. Thank you Jakob and Elsa for allowing us to stay and make some great memories of our trip to Iceland.
