About this property

Panoramic Views- Nature- Northern lights cottage- NO 1- in Iceland.

You are in a National Park area- This is the most beautiful part of Iceland - No 2 in the the top 10 best places to see the Northern lights in Iceland.

With its glistening white cone visible from Reykjavík on a clear day, Snæfellsjökull is the most potent and enduring symbol of Snæfellsnes. If the glacier weren't there, however, the manifold wonders of Snæfellsnes would stand out just the same. Snæfellsjökull, (1,446 m) an ancient cone volcano, one of finest mountains in Iceland. An impressive sight from as far away as Reykjavík, from where it can be seen in clear weather, seeming to rise from the sea. Many prehistoric eruptions took place in the glacier-covered crater at its peak, and its slopes are covered with lava. The glacier is fairly easy to climb, about 4-6 hours to the highest peak, Þúfur. At the eastern base is a Tourist Association hut, now in ruins. The glacier dominates the area, the western part of which is covered with lava and known as “under the glacier”. In Jules Verne’s novel, A Journey to the Center of the Earth.

This place was beautiful!

The property is absolutely beautiful, could not ask for a better location. It was clean and had plenty of space. The restaurants near by were very good and the host was very quick to respond when I needed help with something. My only disappointment was there was not a bathtub like the pictures showed. host was very quick to respond

Nice place

All in all, a very nice place to stay. Comfortable and a wonderful location. Only improvements I’d suggest are to have paper towels on hand to aid in cleaning at checkout. Kitchen stove wasn’t very clean when we arrived and someone used the best pot under the kitchen sink drain which has a slow leak. Bathroom floor was not clean when we arrived either.

Schönes Haus in toller Lage

Superschönes Haus, total toll gelegen. Alles wie auf den Fotos zu erkennen. Bad war nicht ganz sauber, aber das liegt ja an den Vormietern. Küche gut nutzbar, gemütliches Sofa. Da ein Bett nur 1,40m breit ist, fanden wir vor Ort, dass das Haus besser für max. 3 Personen gegeeignet ist. Danke für diesen schönen Ort!

A charming cottage in a captivating countryside. The only disappointment was the stairs. They were too steep for my dad to climb, so he ended up on the couch for our stay.

Magical location

The Jules Verne cottage is perfectly located, as it offers panoramic ocean views and is near all the major sites that makes West Iceland so special. Highly recommend a stay here. Please be aware that the steps leading up to the two bedrooms are practically vertical and more akin to climbing a ladder. Younger children and older adults could very much struggle to ascend and descend. That being said, everything else about the cottage is perfect and I felt very fortunate to have stayed there.

Amazing!

This lovely place in Hellnar was a wonderful restful place to make our home base during a few days on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The cottage is lovely and clean and well-equipped. It was easy to explore the national park and there is a lovely hiking trail to the next town Arnarstappi. We cooked at home a few nights and had an amazing dinner at the local hotel (just a short walk down the road). Definitely would stay here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This property is misleading the customers. A hot tub is listed as one of the amenities, in reality there's none. The house is not as private and peaceful as it is shown in the pictures, it is a part of cottage complex and neighboring houses are just a few meters away. The property was not clean upon arrival. There were safety and privacy issues. The guys who stayed in the next house were messing with my car and later same day a housekeeper from that house was circling the house I was staying in with a loud snowmobile. I need to also mention parking problems. No one bothered to clear the snow from the parking lot and the driveway, so people had park on the main road and carry the suitcases and groceries all the way from there in knee deep snow. Hot water is very limited in this house. If you do the laundry and wash the dishes using hot water, you might not have enough of it for a shower. I can understand that hot water in remote location might be limited, but the owners should have warned about it in advance.

Schöne Lage.

Gut ausgestattete Ferienwohnung mit ausreichendem Platz und schöner Aussicht. Die Schlafzimmer sind im Obergeschoss und durch eine Treppe (steil) zu erreichen. Die Ferienwohnung wird vom Vormieter gereinigt: es müssen am Ende des Aufenthaltes die Betten neu bezogen werden und die gebrauchte Wäsche muss gewaschen und dann in den Trockner gegeben werden. Hierzu bekommt man vom Vermieter genaue Informationen.

Amazing Location Away from it ALL. Perfection.

This was a wonderful location and beautiful setting. We really enjoyed this spot as it was a great place to run around from as a base. There is not a lot around, but the next town over has some dining options. If you stay out here be sure to grab groceries before you head to the peninsula. Also make sure you are aware of the "self cleaning" house. We had an early departure and had to work that into our schedule. Overall amazing spot and truly unbelievable views. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot

Very comfortable, warm and well decorated house in a very unique spot near mountains and the sea. Perfect location for exploring the peninsula. I'd stay here again. Worth noting that groceries are 30 minutes away and it is self-cleaning, meaning you must clean when you leave. It was ok for us as we wanted to be this remote and close to nature but if you were in a hurry on checkout day, it could be inconvenient.

We would stay again

Beautiful place and spot! The house had everything we needed and the location was fantastic change of scenery from where we had just traveled on the south coast. Even though the house is self-clean, there were no issues. As others have said, this wouldn't be appropriate for anyone who has trouble with stairs, since the stairs to the bedrooms are quite steep and tricky. But aside from that, we would definitely stay here again!
