About this property

Panorama mountain view, and a hot tub :)

Welcome to our cozy summer house on 93 m2 or 1001 ft2 located near the wonderful Borgarnes village.
The summer house was newly built in 2007 and has 3 bedrooms. In two rooms are double beds and in one is a full size bunk bed. We also have a portable bed for a child. 6 people can easily guest in the house. The living room has a large couch, modern facilities and furniture. It is directly connected to the dining area and the kitchen.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, baking oven, dishwasher, stove, microwave and other equipment. In the bathroom is a toilet, shower and washing machine.
On the patio there is a gas grill, garden furniture and a hot tub.

The house is not far from amazing "must see“ places such as Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, Hraunfossar, Husafell and the glasier Langjokull. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsnes National Park, It was voted one of **Iceland Top Five** to visit. There you can enjoy the glacier Snæfellsjökull, visit the small fishing villages and it's magical and remarkable nature.
The house is a one hour drive north from the Reykjavík Capital and 10 minutes from cozy town Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants, go to one of the nicest swimming pools in Iceland, visit the great Settlement center where you can learn about the Icelandic culture and saga. go to the pub and shop at the cheap Bonus grocery store.

It is only 60 min driving on to the Golden Circle to view the great Gullfoss and the hot spring Geysir. Also on the Golden Circle you will find the historical place Thingvellir (Þingvellir):
The location of the house is excellent, if you are going to the north Akureyri and it is midway between the two great National Parks, Snæfellsnes and Thingvellir National Park and only one our from our Capital, Reykjavik.

Cozy Cottage
Erla's cozy red cottage was in the perfect place for us to get to after arriving early in Reykjavik. We were easily able to get to the things we wanted to see and do...Borgarnes and the Snefellsnes Penn. The house was spotless, the living area was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. We so enjoyed the hot tub after a long day witnessing the magic of Iceland. We would have stayed longer if there had been more days available.

This place was amazing. Was a great place to stay while we wanted to explore the west coast while also trying to make it back to Reykjavik on our last day. The host was extremely communicative and timely with her responses. Easy to access and find - although it’s worth trying to find the location before it gets completely dark since it’s off in a remote area without lamp posts. Note: Google maps will put the pin in the wrong location so following the host’s specific instructions is the way to go. The property was well equipped with kitchen and living essentials. It was cozy, well decorated, and comfortable. We loved the hot tub. We loved how it felt like we were in our own paradise. It felt like there was a lot of privacy as well. No fuss check in and check out process too. We came to Iceland purposely in March to experience the northern lights. This property is situated in a remote area where IF there’s aurora borealis activity AND good visibility, there’s no reason why you can’t see it. Sure enough we did the first night we checked in. We had panoramic views due to the nature of the cottage’s architecture where it’s easy to walk around the property. We had a great time - thank you!

Peaceful & Relaxing
So nice to stay at this wonderful property. It was a great starting off point for our Icelandic adventures. The hot tub was a wonderful place to relax when we got back to the house in the evenings.

The cottage is comfortable, easy to reach and the location is great.

What makes this property unique

In the wintertime it is great fun to go to the hot tub in the evening when the northern lights are dancing all around the cottage. And at the same time watch the beautiful stars in the sky.
