Really enjoyed the peace. Booked the location due to the rift bike race, unfortunately our friend got sick and couldn’t go on the trip with us, but cancelling wasn’t an option. We stuck with our original plan. Enjoyed the coffee and tea provided and the ICE. Location is a bit far for main attractions but if you are looking for clean, peaceful then this is the place for you

Schönes Cottage im Flachland

Das kleine, schon was ältere Cottage bietet alles, was es für einen schönen Aufenthalt braucht. Zu Fuss kann man zu einem Fluss oder Pferdekoppeln laufen. Die Terrasse ist bei sonnigem Wetter schön zum draussen sitzen.

Quiet Cabin

My family of five stayed here in August and loved the clean, remote, and cozy cabin. It was nestled about 10 minutes off of 1 passing some cows and sheep to get to the location. About 15 minutes away was a kronan grocery store and gas. The kitchen at all we need to make a meal and we loved sleeping together in the bedroom it was very Sweet.

Simply perfect!

Thor has thought of everything with this cabin. It is so beautifully and comfortably appointed. Everything from the cozy and comfy beds to the outdoor grill. We enjoyed baking a cake in the oven and sitting on the beautiful deck watching the sunset colors over the mountain glaciers in the distance. The cabin is very comfortable for 4 and could easily hold a few more. Out in the country, away from the crowds - this is the perfect place to settle down and relax for a few days. Also the perfect launch point for an early trip to the Westmann Islands, just a 20 minute drive to the ferry.
