Great directions, the view of water and mountains, all the windows to enjoy the view, and your own geothermal hot springs contained in a tub! We totally loved everything about this house up the hill! The heated floors were so welcome, as well as the gorgeous deck!

We enjoyed our stay at Brekka Lodge! We never watched any television, because we preferred to watch the view either from the living area, the deck, or the geo thermal tub. The house is well located to lots of sights and is also very close to the trailhead to Glymur Falls, a stunning waterfall that is worth the hike! It is much better to take the longer trail that goes to the left. The shorter trail is much steeper and, for now, the log crossing over the river is down. We also enjoyed eating at nearby Hótel Laxárbakki. They have a small menu, but delicious homemade meals. We highly recommend the fish stew. As for the house, it is clean, nice, in a quiet area and you can't beat the views! The host, Jon, is very quick to respond if you have any questions.

What a beautiful and warm property! It had everything we needed for days we wanted to stay in, and was so welcoming it come back to after a day in Reykyavik. The drive was well worth it for the views of Hvalfjördur at night. The host was very responsive and we would definitely stay again.

Simple process through VRBO. Lovely place with gorgeous scenery.

This trip included my husband, two adult daughters, our son in law and me. Brekka Lodge was very well located, very well equipped and had the most outstanding views of the water and mountains that can be imagined. We loved our time there. It was possible to do many day trips and then return to the serenity of this lovely house.

Sehr schönes, gemütlich eingerichtetes Haus in herrlicher Lage mit traumhaftem Ausblick auf den Fjord. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Exceeded all expectations and was exactly what we were hoping for in a relaxing holiday with great amenities!

It was a beautiful location with amazing views and there bonus of having our very own "hot springs" to enjoy every evening was wonderful! just a couple of robes would have put our experience A++ directions for the stove, television and washing machine would have been useful too : )

The owner w was so polite and communicated so well. The property was European in nature, and very clean. The hot pot was awesome and the views were outstanding. We saw the northern lights in sept which was a great. Would definitely go back. Thank you.

This house is great! Awesome views and definite serenity. Jon communicated everything well except directions. If you aren't familiar with Iceland addresses it's a bit of a challenge. Getting there during the day for your first time is recommended. Also, it should be conveyed that the "hot tub" is really a tub that you fill with geothermal water (I mean, it's Iceland - pretty standard and why they are the world's leader in energy efficiency) but don't expect to hop right in. It takes around 3 hours to fill it and some work to keep it hot (you have to drain some then add). I couldn't get the jets to work but that might've been operator error. Also note that the closest town is Akranes which is about 25 minute drive. Get groceries and spirits there. Restaurant selection limited. It's a good hour to Reykjavik so be aware of that. Awesome waterfall hike within 15 minutes of the house - Glymur falls. Don't miss this one! Overall: great accomodations, great host. Would definitely stay there again!

Das Haus war sehr sauber und schön, die Lage ist super und man hatte kaum Leute um sich rum, man kam überall relativ schnell mit dem Auto hin und die Natur um das Haus herum eignet sich auch gut zum Wandern. Der Vermieter Jón war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab eine hervorragende Kommunikation auf einer eher freundschaftlichen Ebene. Alles in allem sind wir sehr zufrieden und würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. JB & BB
