“A fantastic stay at Húsabakki in Svarfaðardalur valley in North Iceland”
We stayed for one night at Húsabakki as we wanted to check out Svarfaðardalur valley and Friðland Svarfdæla - the Nature Reserve of Svarfaðardalur, which is right outside the guesthouse Húsabakki. New proprietors have taken over the business and were just opening the guesthouse and renovating it when we booked the room. As they had just opened we were the only guests in the whole guesthouse. We got a room with 2 beds, but I asked for an upgrade to a bigger room with a twin bed and the proprietors were glad to help. The proprietors were very lovely and helpful and invited us to the breakfast area on the ground floor where we could prepare our dinner. And they invited us for a chat and breakfast the morning after. I visited the Nature Reserve (photos added) and it was heavenly. The summer nights in Iceland are bright and I was alone in nature with only the birds and horses, I did not want to go to sleep that night :) The proprietors pointed out to us a warm footbath in the mountain above Húsabakki (on the other side of the road) and we hiked up to it the following day. The view from there is amazing. We also visited the beautiful churches in the valley (photos added). We had an exceptional stay in this historic valley :)

“A hidden gem 💎”
We had a real pleasant stay at Húsavakki Guesthouse. The way there was very nice, the road was paved and the view was spectacular. The guesthouse is located in a beautiful mountainous valley. Nearby the guesthouse you can find the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived. The guesthouse itself is very well facilitated. The beds are very comfortable (boxsprings), and the kitchen contains everything you need. The showers were great as well, with nice warm water. A real hidden gem!
