About this property

Panorama mountain view, and a hot tub :)

Welcome to our cozy summer house on 93 m2 or 1001 ft2 located near the wonderful Borgarnes village.
The summer house was newly built in 2007 and has 3 bedrooms. In two rooms are double beds and in one is a full size bunk bed. We also have a portable bed for a child. 6 people can easily guest in the house. The living room has a large couch, modern facilities and furniture. It is directly connected to the dining area and the kitchen.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, baking oven, dishwasher, stove, microwave and other equipment. In the bathroom is a toilet, shower and washing machine.
On the patio there is a gas grill, garden furniture and a hot tub.

The house is not far from amazing "must see“ places such as Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, Hraunfossar, Husafell and the glasier Langjokull. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsnes National Park, It was voted one of **Iceland Top Five** to visit. There you can enjoy the glacier Snæfellsjökull, visit the small fishing villages and it's magical and remarkable nature.
The house is a one hour drive north from the Reykjavík Capital and 10 minutes from cozy town Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants, go to one of the nicest swimming pools in Iceland, visit the great Settlement center where you can learn about the Icelandic culture and saga. go to the pub and shop at the cheap Bonus grocery store.
Stykkishólmur is about a 60 minutes drive, there you can go sailing, Whale watching and enjoy bird watching paradise.
It is only 60 min driving on to the Golden Circle to view the great Gullfoss and the hot spring Geysir. Also on the Golden Circle you will find the historical place Thingvellir (Þingvellir):
The location of the house is excellent, if you are going to the north Akureyri and it is midway between the two great National Parks, Snæfellsnes and Thingvellir National Park and only one our from our Capital, Reykjavik.
Reykjavík Center Laugarvegur is only 60 min driving

Cozy Cottage

Erla's cozy red cottage was in the perfect place for us to get to after arriving early in Reykjavik. We were easily able to get to the things we wanted to see and do...Borgarnes and the Snefellsnes Penn. The house was spotless, the living area was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. We so enjoyed the hot tub after a long day witnessing the magic of Iceland. We would have stayed longer if there had been more days available.

This place was amazing. Was a great place to stay while we wanted to explore the west coast while also trying to make it back to Reykjavik on our last day. The host was extremely communicative and timely with her responses. Easy to access and find - although it’s worth trying to find the location before it gets completely dark since it’s off in a remote area without lamp posts. Note: Google maps will put the pin in the wrong location so following the host’s specific instructions is the way to go. The property was well equipped with kitchen and living essentials. It was cozy, well decorated, and comfortable. We loved the hot tub. We loved how it felt like we were in our own paradise. It felt like there was a lot of privacy as well. No fuss check in and check out process too. We came to Iceland purposely in March to experience the northern lights. This property is situated in a remote area where IF there’s aurora borealis activity AND good visibility, there’s no reason why you can’t see it. Sure enough we did the first night we checked in. We had panoramic views due to the nature of the cottage’s architecture where it’s easy to walk around the property. We had a great time - thank you!

Peaceful & Relaxing

So nice to stay at this wonderful property. It was a great starting off point for our Icelandic adventures. The hot tub was a wonderful place to relax when we got back to the house in the evenings.

Great Holiday Base

Warm, comfortable and well-equipped summerhouse which is in a great location for exploring the western side of Iceland. The mountain views from the front of the property are wonderful and the hot tub is a great place to relax after a days sightseeing. We are a family of five with three teenage children - and despite it being a compact property it never felt crowded. Highly recommended. Thank you Erla!

Fantastic Cabin, Lovely Location

We so enjoyed our stay at this cottage - watching the northern lights from the warmth of the cozy hot tub was the highlight of our time in Iceland. The home is clean, well-appointed, conveniently close to markets/restaurants and made a perfect base from which to explore the island. A 5-star experience all-around.

Nice stay, a few hiccups

The property appears to be secluded in the pictures however there are houses all around, they just took pictures which hid them. There was no coffee so make sure to bring your own. We also lost all hot water after two showers and didn't get any back for 36 hours. That was rather unfortunate and uncomfortable as some of us ended up taking cold showers until the problem was resolved.

Lovely homebase for breathtaking Iceland

Upon arrival to Borgarnes, we struggled to find the property (likely because of sleep deprivation). Erla was quick to the rescue meeting us in town, and guiding us there. The lovely 3-bedroom home had everything my family (3 kids) needed. The washing machine as a bonus, and the clothesline on the deck made everything smell fresh! Highly recommend.

Wonderful and well- appointed family home

We had a wonderful three days here, it is in a wonderful location and we were able to access many wonderful sightseeing spots within an hour of the house. The house was incredibly clean and the kitchen was well-appointed and we enjoyed family meals there every night. Our family would have stayed there for an entire week if we were able to! Thank you so much for the warm hospitality, Erla!

This charming cottage is quintessentially Iceland!

We loved this sweet cottage. The view of the snow capped mountains was breathtaking. Furniture was comfortable and dining table great for meals and playing card games. Beds were comfortable and we all slept likes babies! The area was perfect for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Erla, the owner, was helpful and fun! We enjoyed a glass of wine with her.

What a great place to stay!!!

We all loved this house and would go back again anytime. It had everything that we could have possibly needed for our stay but unfortunately for us it was only 2 days. Erla Einarsdóttir and HomeAway could not have been any easier to work with. Thanks again.

Perfect for a family adventure!

Erla's house was perfect for our 5 day trip to Iceland! we explored all over West Iceland and had a warm and snug place to return to. The kitchen was well equipped and we used it to make most of our meals. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed the hot tub on the back porch after a long day exploring. The washer was invaluable after walking in snow, lava fields and across streams. Erla gave us some great advice on local attractions and was an excellent hostess. You can't go wrong with this cabin.

Stayed for 2 nights in May and really enjoyed the cottage. Fantastic views from the front porch and from inside. Great location near Borgarnes, which has a fun pool and spa, and an easy drive to the incredible Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

Beautiful house

The property is very spacious and very comfortable. We found it very clean and just as it was described in the listing. Erla was delightful and very helpful both before we travelled as well as when we arrived. We considered this to be the best of any of our accommodations while on our vacation in Iceland. Our family of 5 adults had plenty of room and we would definitely recommend it to anyone considering staying in this area of Iceland. We had a.great evening watching the Notthern Lights directly over the cottage

Fantastic stay

Erla's home was beautiful, warm, cozy, and wonderfully decorated. We (4 girls) stayed for 2 nights in order to explore the Snaefellsnes peninsula and the location was perfect! It is about an hour south of the peninsula, 10 minutes north of Bogarnes, and an hour or so north of Reykjavik. The house is extremely easy to find and on top of a mountain surrounded by several other summer homes although we did not see anyone around. The best part are the insanely beautiful mountain views outside the kitchen Windows. You feel like you are in the cozier cabin in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains. The house, beds, and linens were all very clean. It was the perfect place for us and can fit up to 6-7 comfortably. Beds were very comfy (best out of all 3 places I stayed in all of Iceland). Rooms spacious. The hot tub looked great with great views although we did not get a chance to use it. Overall it was a fantastic stay and I would stay here again 100% and recommend it to anyone looking for a central location on the western side of Iceland!

After staying in Reykjavik for two nights, this was the perfect place to stay away from the city, yet centrally located to many major sites. The hot tub was a perfect place to relax in afte a long day's journey. The owner is a sweetheart and takes great pride in making this a home away from home.

What makes this property unique

In the wintertime it is great fun to go to the hot tub in the evening when the northern lights are dancing all around the cottage. And at the same time watch the beautiful stars in the sky.
