Small, clean & excellent stay.
Excellent crash pad for those looking to hike and explore this part of Iceland. It is small, but has everything a couple on the go in Iceland would need.

Perfect Getaway
I stayed here in late march and it was perfect… not busy, northern lights vieable from the front door, and I felt almost as if I had the entire area to myself. A wonderful quiet getaway in a convenient location to the park. Cozy cottage was perfect!

Comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting
The cottage was very comfortable and in a perfect setting to explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. It’s not far from the sea, which you can see from the cottage. Good for self-catering or close to an excellent restaurant at the nearby Fosshotel. On a clear night, the stars were amazing, and there were great views of the northern lights! The property manager was very helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to come back!

nice cottage
Nice cottage with a big living room (compared to all other cottages where we were). We covered the camera in the living room as we didn't find that appropriate. Great view on the snaefelljökull and the sea, the latter unfortunately interrupted by some other cottages.

Perfect Location. Something special.
There is something to be said about staying in one area in Iceland rather than bouncing all around and spending too much time on the road. This cabin provides the PERFECT location. Such an abundance and variety of great things to do nearby. I recommend staying a few days here or even a full week. The cabin itself is fantastic for one or two people. All modern conveniences in working order. Thank goodness for the blinds... much needed in June at night. Very clean. Great to have a kitchen as it saves from eating out all the time, and there aren't many restaurants in the area anyway. View from cabin is to die for. Yeah, you gotta clean when you leave but that's a small price to pay for the perfect cabin in the perfect local.

Perfect in all ways
This cottage was perfect for us (2 adults). Cozy, well-equipped and a perfect location to see much of what Snaefellsnes has to offer. We saw the Northern Lights 3 out of 5 nights (the real purpose of our trip), so that was an unqualified success. Jakob was very responsive if we had any questions, and offered to help in any way if needed. I'll just add, 5 days isn't nearly enough time to see everything out on this amazing Icelandic peninsula!

Perfect get-away place
Used this lovely property as a home office base for a week. It was just perfect! Network connection was super stable, no problems with video calls. But even more important, it's calm and relaxing surrounded by beautiful nature. You can easily go on a few hikes after work and immediately have the vacation feeling. In addition we got a perfect Aurora show, just mind blowing. Definitely will come back.

Gorgeous place
Loved our 4 days there. Such a beautiful place and so much to do around the area. The cottage was perfect. Cozy, warm and had everything we needed, including a well equipped kitchen. Beautiful little touches and nicely decorated. The perfect escape in winter for a romantic getaway.
