Cozy Cottage

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home had everything we needed and was very clean and nicely situated. Our hosts were responsive when we had questions and kind. Highly recommend!

Great for families

My family had a fantastic stay at Birkir's cottage. Our young kids were thrilled to find soccer goals and a trampoline in the beautiful backyard. The whole family had comfortable rooms to sleep in, the house was clean, and the location was convenient to a number of major sites (e.g., Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir, Kerid Crater). I'd highly recommend the home (and Birkir as a host) to anyone, particularly families traveling with young children that are more confined to their rentals by necessity.

Amazing trip

Iceland was fantastic with so much to see and do, and this house was the perfect launch pad for the Golden Circle and Vik and Reykjavik. Our hosts were so helpful with suggestions and ideas and were very clear with instructions on the house. We had an amazing time! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Country house

Lovely property, but the bathroom presented health hazards. The shower floor was slick. One person in our party fell hard in the shower, because of the slick shower floor. He didn’t realize it was slick until he slipped. All 3 of us stumbled over the one step up split bathroom floor. The washing machine was not familiar for us to use, and we struggled in learning how to use it. An instruction manual would have been appreciated.. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.
