Group travel

The home provides everything we need after a long day of travel. The unit has BBQ set and Hot Tub but we didn't use due to time constraints. We cooked our dinner and breakfast there which is good enough for us. I left my charger in the unit. The owner took initiative to inform me and willing to bring me to my last destination in Reykjavík ( eventhough we unsure will it be successful because there was no immediate feedback from the other property yet). I really appreciate their kindness and consideration.

Amazing cabin and perfect location for experiencing Iceland while relaxing in comfort.

Such a cool little peaceful paradise. Facilities were great, especially the hot tub and kitchen options. We arrived and everything was ready for us. The views are great, and it is so so quiet. The hosts answered our questions quickly and we had the perfect stay.

This was an exceptional well thought of lodging for family or group on vacation in iceland. The owners lived on site, shared their background and made careful thoughts to allow this stay to be quiet and comfortable. Linda went the extra mile to helped our group when requested and rejected any tip or gratuity, really kind and warm people. Best stay in iceland so far.

The house had everything we needed for a nice stay. The jacuzzi and grill on the outside were just what we needed to relax after a exploring the glaciers, waterfalls, mountains and beaches of the area by day. We also could spot northern lights while enjoying the hot tub at night.

We enjoyed everything about our stay here. Unfortunately we were not lucky enough to see the Northern Lights during our stay but I couldn't imagine a better place to experience them. If we return to Iceland, I will definitely book here again just to have another chance to see them here. It is in a rural location but we found it easy to find with our maps. There is a small grocery store, liquor store and resturant not far away but I recommend bringing food with you due to it's rural location. It had all the amenities we needed and the cabin was comfortable and spacious for our group of 4 adults and one teen. The hot tub was especially nice after a long day of driving.

Luxurious property. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable stay.

Very well equipped with everything you needed. We loved the hot tub. They changed bins each day and delivered fresh towels. Really comfortable place with plush bed sheets.

A really nice secluded place. If one needs peace and quiet,that’s the right location. It has one bedroom,so definitely it’s challenging for more than two people. The hot tub is a great addition
