Simply amazing!
I can honestly say this is the most amazing vacation rental we’ve stayed at, and we’ve stayed at many, all over the world! From the linens, decor, heated floors in the bathroom, early check in, and spot on recommendations! I couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Iceland!

Short Stay Returning to US from Europe
We had such a great time in Iceland! The little black cabin was perfect for us - we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside (and saw the northern lights over the cabin two of the three nights we were there), but were still close enough to Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, Husafell, and Borgarnes to have lots of options for exploring as well. Our hosts emailed us an in-depth booklet of info on both the house and favorite activities in the area so we had a chance to do some research/make some reservations before arriving, then there was even more helpful info at the cottage when we arrived. The warmed floors in the entry and bathroom were so nice (especially after venturing out on the glacier), and the kitchen was amply stocked with spices, coffee, and even some dried goods. The hot water was plentiful and much appreciated, and the cold water was delicious straight from the tap! We are already missing the distinctly Scandinavian black timber cabin, but will definitely return. So much left to see!

Stunning Borganes Cottage
Black Timber Cove was magical! A vacation we'll remember forever. Driving up to the cottage, we were blown away with the surroundings, only to walk inside to an interior design dream! We wish we could have stayed longer than two nights! The hosts were extremely accommodating and had the best guidebook of recommendations and truly thought of everything for a comfortable stay! This has been our absolute favorite Iceland vacation rental so far!
