Summary: Our stay here was truly special! The location, the lake, the birds, our host, it was all memorable. It provided us with a jumping off point to explore the wide area which we found to be most delightful. Greta took good care of us and made sure our stay was most excellent. Definitely recommend!

Summary: Good localisation to visit the south west. Especially for peninsula snaefellsnes and golden circle. They are 91 steps from the road to the house.

Summary: For us, the cabin was a lovely base camp for exploring the West of Iceland. The cabin immediately felt like home for us. The cabin is super nicely placed at a slope with a view over a beautiful lake. It is super quiet, well equiped, has great beds and we could even make use of the hot tub. Really a lovely place to stay! One thing would have been good to know in advance: if you want to drive towards the golden circle area, you either need a 4x4 car to take short route or need to take quite a D-tour to avoid a rough patch of road, that isn't in many cases OK for a normal car. Other then that: I would very much recommend this cabin!

Summary: Gorgeous location and an easy drive from Keflavík International. Lots of sights within driving distance for day trips and it's 30 minutes away from Borgarnes where you can do all your grocery shopping or go out for dinner. The road along the lake is only paved part way but the drive is smoother than many of the other gravel roads in Iceland and is no problem even for a 2WD car.

Summary: My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. It was clean and had everything in it to provide a wonderful remote lake cottage experience. It was nice to make dinner and relax to a good Netflix show at the end of a busy day. The location was perfect for a base to explore from. Thank you Greta :)
