Perfect place to explore Island!

This is an amazing property, even better than in photos. Don't let the distance from Reykjavik deter you -- the drive to and from is breathtaking and if you are seeking a serene getaway then this is it.

There is a feeling you get once you walk in that sets the stage for your time in this cottage~ I can describe it as an exhale. We appreciated the attention to details in the communication from the owners. We stopped at a grocery along the way from the airport and cooked our meals. The kitchen had all that we needed to do this. The location was perfect for us as we ventured out each day to go exploring. Once back to the cottage we SO enjoyed the views of the fjord and amazing sunsets from all rooms! We gave ourselves time on the evening before we left to clean as requested and it was not that big of a deal… in fact you feel good cleaning knowing it will be for the next person coming to have a beautiful experience there. We hope to visit Iceland again and would absolutely book this cottage again!

First as other have mentioned the checkout chore list is quite extensive for those who are used to staying at properties where full professional cleaning is added in, especially if you have an early departing flight - which we did. HOWEVER, with some planning it’s easy to accommodate. We just packed disposable camping towels for our departure morning since the towels take about 4 hours to completely wash and dry and we had to head to the airport at 5am (but having access to a washer and dryer was well worth the added chore and allowed us to travel very light). Then we did the majority of the cleaning the night before - vacuumed and mopped right before we walked out the door. No big deal. Please, please do not let this deter you from renting this property - it’s perfect! The hot tub on the bay was incredible - we got several rainbows and rainbow cloud viewings, the sulfur smell from the geo thermal wasn’t bad at all - we used the hot tub every night after hiking all day. The location is perfect as well to adventure north or south and the hot springs at the end of the bay are amazing and very well priced and far less crowded than the mainstream ones. The king bed was beyond comfortable and the kitchen had everything (and more) to cook delicious meals. The Nespresso machine provided the perfect cup of coffee to match the morning views.

Before we arrived we received instructions on entering property, along with directions for hot tub, WiFi, etc. When we arrived, we were very pleased that the description of the property was accurate, even exceeding our expectations. We stayed end of April 2024. We knew we were at the end of season for the Aurora borealis, but were still hoping. On the third night the skies cleared, but no luck. The fourth night, clear skies again, very cold and windy, but kept checking, and they appeared for close to an hour long show. Again the next night while in the hot tub, she put on an amazing show, even able to see the colors with the naked eye, what a treat. The hot tub was wonderful, instructions to fill the tub were clear and easy to follow. So nice to sit in the natural hot spring water. Great views from the tub, and the glass surrounding the tub area really helped quell even the gustiest winds. The kitchen was very well appointed. Well stocked with dishes, cutlery, utensils, pots and pans. Everything you could need for any meal small or large. The Nespresso machine was a godsend. The tap water is as good as any spring water you could buy. Having a washer and dryer in the cabin came in handy. The bedrooms were as stated, cozy with comfortable beds. Didn't use TV, but noticed large selection of DVDs. The location was great, about 40 mins from the city, close enough for groceries, or a day on the town. Great for exploring the island, so much to see near and far. Excellent!!

Really good, excellent property, location is perfect. Beds really comfortable, hot tub was fun. Highly recommended.

Perfect location, Clean and well appointed, very cozy in winter. Hot tub was great, even saw the northern lights from the back porch. Thanks for a great experience!

Hot tub, Hvammsvik Hot Springs and just 30 mins from Thingvellir National Park and start of the Golden Circle. Easy drive to Reykjavik. Majestic vista of the fjord. Completely lived up to our expectations!
