Great location
Our experience here was great. The cottage is really nice and has everything you need after a day of sight seeing. I didn’t go to Iceland to sit inside all day but the beds are comfortable, the showers were clean and hot, and the host Helga is a wonderful person. She came over and gave us lots of helpful tips of things to do with the kids. I liked the location because it’s away from the city. I liked this because I was able to meet locals and get to know the area. Icelanders are extremely friendly and helpful, I definitely want to go back.

Beautiful space and well laid out for a family. Great location if you’re looking for hiking and Hot Springs also close enough to Reykjavik for day trips- and all the amazing sites on the golden circle. Fabulous host!

Our very own little hamlet in Iceland.
The property is exactly as described so no surprises there. Our only issue was that a couple of repairs need to be made (bathroom door & hot water kettle). We needed some extra regular pillow covers (but we did not call the property manager for this). The cabin is very quaint, in an outstanding location, and the area is so very quiet you feel as though you are the only one in the area. Great location and would rent again.

Perfectly situated for Golden Circle travel
The house is located on the property of another house, which I couldn't tell from the photos but it's explained in the host video. I stayed for two nights and enjoyed how close everything was as far as groceries, gas, a delicious local bakery, a few restaurants, several popular hot spring areas, and of course, the Golden Circle route. The host was very communicative and flexible, which I am always grateful for. I would certainly stay here again.

Good for Short Stay
The pics of the property are exceptionally well done. The home looks spacious in a woodsy setting. It’s actually very small, offering a full bed in a studio apartment setting that includes an efficiency kitchen, very large table and small couch, and a separate bedroom that fits a double bed and not much else. There’s very little unpacking room and a teeny-tiny bathroom. There may be a loft bedroom but it was sealed up and seemed to primarily be used for storage. Not what we needed for 4 adults. The setting was unexpected-it’s literally in a suburban back yard-with the windows of the rental directly facing the windows of owners home. We were forced to close the blinds for the entire stay to avoid being on constant display. This might be right for a couple with fewer inhibitions, but was not comfortable for 4 adults including my daughter and her fiancé.

Unique garden cottage
Pre-trip communication with Helga was excellent! She provided some restaurant options, two of which we tried and they were very good. The cottage was easily located and is very unique, both inside and outside. Some nice touches were washcloths, a hairdryer, and fresh Icelandic bread. Improvements could be made, though, on the following: The shower doors didn't close entirely, so water leaked outside of it. The drain had a sharp rubber piece sticking up which hurt when stepped on. Shampoo and soap dispensers weren't filled. Our 31-year-old son slept in the loft which was very small and somewhat claustrophobic. We strongly recommend installing a carpet runner or railing on those steep stairs. They seemed dangerous to all of us. In the bedroom, there's no room at the foot of the beds so you must climb over the person sleeping on the outside bed. I opted to sleep on the bed in the main living area.

Cozy, quiet cottage
Cottage was in a nice location and clean. Kitchenette was adequate. Was a little too small for our family of 4 with two teens, but would likely be fine for fewer people or younger kids. Easy check-in and orientation video from host. Parking available at residence.

Cute cottage in cute town
Great location for where we came from and were going onto. Cute cottage, had what we needed for our stay. Easy to find, checkin, bedding, plenty of towels, clean and cozy! She also had some bread and butter for us to enjoy when we got there. Got lots of info for food, activities, sights from the owner ahead of time. My son left his AirPods behind in the upstairs loft and the owner found them and came all the way out to us in Reyk to drop them off!! Above and beyond!! Thank you for making it such a great stay!
