About this property
Beautiful House - Stunning landscape - Perfect Location - Snæfellsnes
Welcome to our vacation home at Hellnar.
The house is in the beautiful renowned location of Hellnar, the famous destination of nature lovers, painters, photographers and writers alike. You have the National Park, the glacier (Snæfellsjökull), the magnificent coast, mountain view and lava at your doorstep. You can stay there and simply enjoy the serenity, scenery and hiking trails, or/and use it as a base camp for various explorations in Snæfellsnes.
The Business Insider named Hellnar on Snæfellsnes one of "25 secret villages in Europe you should visit in your lifetime" (2017).
Discount: We offer15 percent off the nightly rate on stays 7 nights and longer. For longer sabbatical stays, contact us for an offer.
The accommodation offers 100 square meters on two floors in a bright, comfortable and well-equipped house. Quality bedding and furniture. No extra fees (bed linen and towels included in price). There is a self-check-in.
On the first floor is an open space kitchen, a dining area, a seating area and a bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped (with dish washer). The pantry has all the basics you need for your small or large meals. Fully tiled bathroom with a shower and heated floors. A washing machine/dryer combo at no extra cost (washing powder included as well).
There are 3 separate bedrooms on the upper floor and an informal TV/DVD corner in the hallway. For those looking for a writing retreat or a desk for hobby, a sturdy folding table can be used.
As we use the house for writing retreats there is an excellent internet connection: wireless internet and high speed fiber optic internet connection.
Please note that the staircase is steep.
All guests are expected to clean the house before they leave. Cleaning service is available for an extra fee (please contact owners for more information). As of January 2020 guests are NOT expected to wash linens and towels.
The hosts add enhanced cleaning measures between each visit, guaranteeing everything is perfect for your arrival.

About the host
Hosted by Snorri Ingvarsson
We are a family of five and are very active in hiking, skiing and nature exploring. We were hiking in the area in 2019 and by change came across this beautiful house in this stunning landscape - Simply meant to be. 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 :)
