    Excellent for a Husavik stay surrounded by nature. If you’re a bird lover - this may be your heaven.

    Bathroom is very tight.

    Great cabin close to Husavik. Cabins situated with tons of vegetation and nature surrounding you and with excellent views.

    I loved the fact that it felt like you were in the middle of nowhere - even though it was a 2 min drive to the city. Both my partner and I also loved the genereal feeling of being cozy in the cottage.

    We stayed here for 2nights as a relaxing stop whilst travelling around Iceland. Made a really nice mini break in our 2 week holiday. Nice private cabins in the trees. Staff all very helpful and offered to be there as required for any issues, which we didn't have any. Cooking facilities enough for the two of us, everything you need. We had one of the hot tubs close to our Cabin which was great to relax in and watch the lake and Ocean. Cosy feel to the place and would recommend if you like a wooden cabin vibe to chill in. Either a long walk or short drive into town. Bonus supermarket being very close by.

    We loved staying in this cozy wooden cabin in the woods. The property has its own pond and walking trails. Great bird watching area and scenic views out to the mountains. The added bonus were several hot tubs scattered amongst the cabins. Only a short drive to Husavik for whale watching, good restaurants, groceries and shopping. The cottages are a great base for exploring north-central Iceland.

    I’ve no objection to emptying the rubbish, but asking to strip the bed linen is a bit cheeky and an increasing trend

    Beautiful location set in bush land overlooking a lake and snow covered mountains

    The path to the cabin was dark and we arrived late so it was hard to make out but not impossible

    Cozy well equipped cabin with as much or as little to do as you want! Surrounded by nature and wonder, but close to Husavik. Could stay at the property and use a boat on the lake, fish, bird watch, soak in the hot tub, etc., It is even possible to walk or drive to town to eat, shop, go to Geo Sea spa or JaJa Ding Dong bar and Eurovision museum. Had a great time and the hosts are lovely and very helpful- we were not smart about how to work the temperature of the shower and they came over to show us!

    Our front door lock was difficult to manage with a "finicky" key....especially late at night in the dark. This really needs to be replaced. There were hot tubs available for free use, but only if you wanted to share with others. They were always in use. They were in a nice spot and lit up at night. A nice amenity, but unpractical for our personal preferences.

    The cottage was really amazing and well equipped. We didn't cook, but I could see that everything you would need was there. It had a beautiful view out the front of the Fjord, and I could see by the comments written in the guest book that the well marked trails were worthwhile for bird watching and just hiking. For our purposes, it was perfect. We were looking for a location near Myvatn without the high price of a touristy hotel. Highly recommended.

    A great classic icelandic "cottage experience". Just like old times. Go there with the right mindset and you will enjoy it We were lucky with a view of the lake, fjord and mountains. Wonderful with bird walk on the property, using the boat and hot tub.

    Bathroom was too small, I would like it to be bigger.

    Very nice area of cottages near the lakes. Birds sang all the time, but it didn't disturb us at all. Location is close to Husavik and it can be easily reached.

    Our host were wonderful. I made a mistake with the booking and got the days wrong but our host was fantastic and flexible and was accommodating to my error. We had done a lot of site seeing in the week before and the cottage was fab to have a few days to relax before heading home. Husavik is also a lovely little town.

    - I was not able to meet anyone from the crew during my stay to ask about some things. Need to do that via app - The house inside is pretty old

    - Stunning view - You can't be closer to nature - Possibility to take a hot bath outside - You can take a small boat - Grill in each house
