Absolutely Breathtaking

This absolutely stunning home was perfectly nestled in between mountains and ocean. The home has all the comforts needed to feel at home. Beds were very comfortable, the views from every window, very easy access & check in. We loved our stay! Shower and hot water was just perfect! We will be back! Thank you, Minnesota - USA

Lovely cottage

We had a wonderfull time in Iceland and this cottage made our vacation very comfortable. It was the perfect place to get home to after a long and, sometimes, cold day outside. The cottage was clean, all necessities are there and it is lovely decorated. It made us fell "at home" during the 1,5 weeks we spend there. Thanks for Thordis and Snorri for sharing this lovely cottage with us.

Hellnar Heaven

I have stayed in VRBO rentals all over Europe and North America and this was by far my favorite location. Very few affordable homes have the Atlantic Ocean out the front front windows and mountains (and a glacier) out the back. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is truly a magical place and should not be missed. And this beautiful house was absolutely perfect and beautifully situated. Thank you Snorri and family for being such wonderful and accommodating hosts. We will come again.

We live in Reykjavik and use this house primarily as our family getaway and writing retreat. It has truly become the favorite place among all family members :)
