    This cabin was pure magic. Tucked away in peaceful nature, it felt like stepping into a cozy Icelandic dream. Every detail — from the lighting to the decor to the thoughtful little touches — was clearly arranged with care. The space was spotless, warm, and welcoming, and we instantly felt at home. We only wish we had booked more nights — it was the perfect place to unwind after long days on the road. The views, the atmosphere, the comfort… everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful stay that still feels close to adventure.

    The property is private and you are allowed to walk around the entire property. This also makes it very quiet.

    Self check in was a breeze we received all details in an email well in advance. It had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. Shower had shampoo/conditioner. Had lovely views of the fjord with a surprise visit from Sebastian (or Stanley...?) the cat who asked to come in and made himself right at home. Hot tub was a special treat as well.

    The only negative was that there were no instructions on how to use to TV. And we wished we could have stayed longer!

    A very cute little cabin in a lovely location. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. for us to prepare our meals. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the extra bonus of a nice hot tub soak before bed. Really appreciated all the personal touches the owners have done.

    Since the weather conditions were extrem (around minus 20 degrees) there was a problem with the water pipes which were frozen . Of cause that is not the owners fault and he tried to fix it as quick as possible...

    The Cabin was super cozy with cute decoration and nice interior. It was an awesome experience to stay there. We had a nice view at the bay. There was a pot of snow that had made out stay even more exciting. Location is super, close to Akureyi.

    - the window was left open, so when we entered, there were lots of flies welcoming us. We killed six at night... - the WiFi wasn't working properly, we did ask the host but the issue has not been solved. - there was no coffee machine provided (but the coffee pods?) and the only thing that looks like the filter coffee maker/presser (?) was not functioning.

    -The kitchen is big as a cabin -The theater couch is cool and comfortable -The mirror storage in the bathroom is useful - Quiet
