Clean, comfortable and cozy cabin next to the river - recommended.

Everything was pretty clean, quiet and comfortable, temperature was nice. Cottage is located right next to the river, where i went for an ice "swim" bath for few minutes in the morning !!! refreshing. Also, at first, we had trouble to turn on electric stove but owners super quickly responded to our text message and helped us to figure it out. thanks!

Ok for one night stay

The location was just stunning, by the river, and secluded. It was near the geothermal baths, which was a massive bonus. Very nice instructions for the nearby attractions. Good communication from the owners. Bedding was nice and clean

Very remote little cottage next to the river. Make sure to always keep the keys with you not to lock yourself out (as we almost did) as the doors in Iceland lock if you close them even if you have opened it with a key once. We found a second key eventually. The cottage was spacious, clean with a great vibe, the gallery part was a bit inconvenient to get up and down from, but all in all we had a great time here on solstice day.

Perfect one night budget stay

This property was a perfect choice for one night stay. It is in the middle of nowhere so you can wait the aurora in the garden in the winter time.

Position was really good, near to Egilsstadir, yet surrounded by nature. Nothing was lacking. Plus the price was cheap for the area.

Spacious, well equipped cabin close to a river, in need of some maintenance

The cabin was very spacious, especially for a couple! It was good that all utilities were available as the cabin is in a remote spot! We liked being near the river view
