Cozy cabin

The view from the cabin over the pond toward the mountains is very nice. The hot tub was magnificent. The top is very heavy, opening it takes 2. Please note the outdoor shower is the only shower. Bathroom is small. Beds are comfy. Kitchen is well equipped. Very quiet relaxing stay. Walking trails nearby a bonus!

Great house/great location.

My wife and I enjoyed that this house is very close to Reykiavik, yet you feel like you are in a more rural setting due to its location next to the nature reserve. We had great car access to the Golden Circle, Southern Coast, and areas farther west (including Snaefellsnes) for a little more of a drive. The house is close to local restaurants so we got to enjoy some great Icelandic food at reasonable prices. The nature reserve is filled with hiking/biking paths so you can continue your enjoyment of the natural beauty this area has to offer without driving anywhere. Also, we got lucky two nights in a row, and saw the northern lights from the house. It's location really limits light pollution. The outdoor shower and hot tub are great features. I didn't think the outdoor shower would be a thing, but I agree with prior reviewers that the hot shower mixed with colder temps is quite refreshing. If we could change one thing, we would suggest that the owner charge a cleaning fee and have the unit cleaned by a third party instead of having the renters do it. We spent a portion of our last day cleaning instead of touring, and would have been happy to pay so we could have the time vacationing.

Perfect little cottage

Paradise cottage was the perfect base camp to explore Iceland. Close to Reykjavik if needed but also in a quiet natural setting with trails to run and explore and a beautiful view. It’s small by American standards (the size was perfectly fine with these Americans) but it has everything you need from cookware, a hairdryer, robes, very comfortable beds and we used the hot tub every day. My entire family agrees that I did a fabulous job finding this gem!

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!

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

Paradise it is!

This place is wonderful! Great location overlooking a lake with mountain skyline. A deck where we ate our breakfast each morning, and a hot tub where we spent each evening after touring. For anyone who like to stay out in the countryside but still be near the city, this is the place! It is not a hotel or a traditional house in the city. It is unconventional... we thought of it as "glamping"! We were nervous when we read that the shower is outdoors, but it was not just OK, it was great! You do have to do all your own cleaning of linens and towels, and you have to clean the bathroom and floors before you leave. But this saves money because they don't charge a cleaning fee, so this is better. All around, highly recommended!

Cosy place in a unique environment

The place is wonderful in the middle of a reserve with view on the lake. In the house you find everything for preparing a nice meal or enjoying the evening. The outside shower was surprisingly nice and warm as the hot tub which can be enjoyed even under the rain.

Magical Place

This place is quite magical. I didn't realize there was a view of the lake until we arrived. Guests should be aware that the only shower is outdoors. This is not a problem if you are a seasoned traveler and think nothing of showering outdoors when it's chilly. It might be a challenge if you are used to only using hotels in your travels! The bedroom space is unique in that there's space for a bed...and only a bed (well, a slight exaggeration). If you a sharing a bed, it will require climbing over your sleeping partner. The kitchen amenities were perfect. I could have stayed here for a week and never left. The only downside that I found challenging was having to completely clean the dwelling, including washing all laundry, before leaving. This was a challenge because others were waiting on us and it took some time (even though we were rarely home and did not cook except for the 1st night). If you're leaving for the airport from here, you may find this bigger challenge than it was for us. Overall, I would stay here again. The view was spectacular, accommodations comfortable, and surrounding area very relaxing. Put 'Paradise Cabin" into Google maps for easy directions. The directions listed are okay - there is no longer a route number (408) on the Heiomork sign. Find the roundabout and it's the first major road on the right from the roundabout. The sign is there (as pictured) it just doesn't have the 408. The road is paved a bit further than I expected. Great Place!

Paradise Cottage

Beautiful natural setting in a watershed conservation area, dirt roads, cozy cottage, well appointed. We stayed for about a week and rented a car. You will need a car if you’d like to stay here. About 20 minutes from downtown. On Google maps type in “paradise cottage”… much easier that trying to follow the directions. Nice being able to shop and cook, as well as do laundry. Shower is outside, but nice hot water. Hot tub is great!! Walking trails accessible from the yard… lots of birds to see!!

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.

Comfortable, well appointed house

My wife and I have just had a wonderful 4 nights here and would go back tomorrow if we could. The house itself is very clean and comfortable, with 2 full sized double beds, a lounge and full kitchen with everything you’d want in it. The hot tub is also exactly what you’d want - hot and spacious, just the place to sit after a busy day! I will admit the outside shower is unusual, and although we managed not to need it most of the time we were there, when I went out to use the last morning after a night at minus 15C it was frozen! Still, it’s quite an experience to shower before/after using the hot tub when it’s so cold. The house is in the middle of a nature reserve so there are no neighbours and very little light pollution, so a walk to the end of the drive means you have the perfect opportunity to see the Northern Lights. The hosts too are excellent, replying very quickly to anything I asked and all information I needed was provided in very good time prior to my stay. Ultimately this was totally perfect for the 2 of us and we had a truly great time there. I would recommend it to anyone.
