This small cabin was truly a hidden gem. Everything was perfect and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchenette was well equipped with all the essentials, and there was also a dining table and a sofa area to relax. The bathroom was very good, and the cabin had two bedrooms, one with bunk beds and another with a double bed. We stayed as two people, but the place would also be very comfortable for four guests. I also really liked the outdoor area, which had a table with benches and a gas grill. Even though we did not use the grill, it was still a nice addition. Another lovely detail was the horse farm nearby, so you could always see horses around the property, which made the stay feel even more special.

“Beautiful and peaceful riverside cabins with stunning views”
Had a wonderful stay at the riverside cabins. The 2-bedroom cabin was spacious and comfortable, with enough room for a family of 4. The house was fully equipped, including a very good kitchen and a cozy living area to relax after a long day of travel. The location was absolutely outstanding right near the river with beautiful sunset views and peaceful walking areas all around. Perfect for anyone looking to stay away from the hustle and enjoy the calm beauty of Icelandic nature.

“Short but comfortable stay”
Key was at the wall box with a passcode. Easy instruction to follow. Rooms were clean, all things that are necessary were in place. Location is good to reach airport, volcano activity zone or Reykjavik.

“Quiet and calm”
Surrounded by nature. We saw seals in the river (a real treat for the kids). Size wise it is a cabin but to be expected. Overall a beautiful place.
