Lovely cottage

The cabin was described accurately in the listing, though it's a bit more rustic than the photos appear. It was very clean and well-kept. The hosts provided good communication during booking and clear instructions to arrive. The views are majestic. There's a little babbling brook nearby, and lots of birds and vegetation. Really lovely. One thing to be aware of if you visit in summer: the upper windows do not have shades. The lower main windows all have shades to pull down to block the midnight sun, but the upper windows are open and there is some sunlight in the cabin at all hours. I recommend bringing an eyemask. This cabin is comfortable for 1-2 persons. I would not recommend for more than two.

A little slice of heaven!

The cabin was absolutely amazing. Nestled in the foothills of a local mountain with spectacular views as far as the eye can see. Our only regret is that we were only there for one night, I could see myself reading a good book on the deck, or viewing the northern lights at night. The cabin was clean and well appointed and very comfortable. The owners were the best communicators we've ever had the pleasure to interact with. They had plenty of local recommendations and things to do. We drove about 40 minutes away to a small hot spring in the middle of nowhere. It was amazing to say the least!

Fantastic Stay

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely little cabin. It was very warm and clean and had everything we needed for our time in Iceland. The location was great and the view from the front deck was beautiful. The owners were very easy to work with and provided fantastic directions and information about the area which made planning our trip much easier. The cabin is not far from the nice little town of Borgarnes. We had dinner out one night and were easily able to get any groceries we needed. We also used the community center in Borgarnes, which has a great outdoor warm pool with hot tubs and a sauna. Overall a great cabin and a fantastic location.

Gemütliches Haus mitten in der Natur

Wie haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Lage zur Erkundung der Halbinsel ist sehr gut. Lediglich ein paar Sachen wie z.B. Teppich und Duschvorhang müssten mal erneuert werden.

Cosy cabin

The cabin was spotlessly clean and the bed so very comfortable. The location is great for exploring the Snæfellsnes peninsula-a must do! It’s a little bit of a bumpy drive off the ring road, but worth it for the privacy and views. I highly recommend this rental.

Séjour agréable et calme

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce chalet agréable qui est joliment aménagé et très calme. Repos garanti. Point de départ idéal pour explorer la région et aller jusqu’à Snaefellsnes. Les propriétaires ont préparé une documentation avec toutes les informations utiles sur la région (que nous avons reçue déjà à l’avance via e-mail). Bon contact avec les propriétaires via e-mail avant notre départ. Ils étaient aussi facilement joignables par téléphone quand nous avons eu un problème avec l’électricité (panne dans la région). Bon équipement du chalet (serviettes de bain etc.), mais il faudrait revoir le coin cuisine au niveau de la vaisselle (manque de tasses à taille normale et de bols). A part du micro-ondes, 1 seule plaque électrique pour cuisiner. Cela peut poser un problème si on passe plus de temps à l’endroit. Sinon, à recommander.
