You can stroll through the nearby cozy town of Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the capital Reykjavík with all its glory, nightlife and culture. Make a day trip on the Golden Circle and see the exploding Geysir with all its natural power, and drop by the historic Thingvellir National Park, and view close up the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. In the evenings you will always come back home to this cozy cottage in Helluskógur and the first thing you might do is, relax in the hot tub and enjoy the views or the Northern Lights in the peace and quietness after a memorable day.

We really enjoyed this cottage. Lots of room for everyone, hot tub was a big hit. Only problem was we couldn't stay longer. In the country, but only takes a few minutes to get to town.
This was the most amazing place to stay for a family. Not too far from town but at the same time feeling very remote. House was surrounded with trees and birds. The kids fell in love with the loft. I would say no negatives about this property, but one challenge was the locks which they describe in detail up front. I was afraid of locking us out of the house so I just kept the key in the lockbox.
We loved our stay at this cottage in Iceland. It was a perfect spot for our exploring to Snæfellsnes. The cottage was wonderfully equipped with everything we needed and all instructions were clear and easy to follow. We settled right in. My teenager loved the loft and having the cool windows. Iceland is a long way from home for us but we would come back in a heartbeat.
We adored this place! Perfect location, close to Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the town of Borganes. Everything you needed with very accommodating and helpful hosts. Would highly recommend!
A beautiful end to our week in Iceland. The house is spotless, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the hot tub is amazing! Nicely tucked away in the countryside.
The house and property were amazing. Very clean with nice selection of amenities. It was great to come back after a long day and relax in the hot tub. We would definitely rent this property again.
Great location with beautiful views, the perfect home base to explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and the amazing Hvammsvik Hot Springs! Great communication, easy access and we loved all the amenities (washer)!!! Was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you for sharing this great space!
Cabin was exactly as described. Although small by US standards, it was plenty of space for our family of 5, including 3 teenage boys. The info and communication from the hosts were excellent, including detailed directions and access instructions. Good location for access to Snaefxxxx peninsula. Especially appreciated the hot tub after a long day of sightseeing. Thanks!
Perfectly remote and cozy! I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy sleeping in but the land was calling to us. Terrific house manual sent ahead of booked stay takes all the guess work out of using the property. There are adjacent properties but separated by heavy vegetation. We slept very comfortably. I could see a small family enjoying this space too. The views of the mountains are super from the big windows and on the deck.
Where to begin... the house was absolutely immaculate. It was nice to have a thorough information packet e-mailed to us ahead of time to prepare for our arrival. From the shoe rack by the door (to keep the floors clean throughout our stay, we took off our shoes... I think it is also customary in Iceland to take off your shoes indoors), the heated towel rack in the bathroom, the neatly made beds, the hot tub heated and all ready to go, and an efficient but cozy layout, the home was perfect for our stay. The hosts have been very thoughtful about every detail to the house. We loved seeing the Northern Lights from right outside the home - a dream come true.
Pluses
Clean, great hot tub, grill, washer with fast spin for drying clothes. Great views of the sunset. Feels safe and secure. Nice check-in directions. Bedrooms super small, but the beds were comfortable.
We stayed at this location as a family of 4 adults - super small - would be fine for an adult couple with children. The loft had a very low ceiling. Even on knees, ceiling height not adequate at peak for headroom. Ok for only for sleeping - except for noise (open) and light as living room had blinds missing and no black-out curtains in the rental.
Bring eye masks if light wakes you up.
We got a flat - road coming in - it is long and very bumpy.
Overall OK stay
Was such a great vacation in the cottage. From booking until Depature everything was perfect. Really uncomplicated, super clean and the highlight is the Whirlspool on the Terrace. Thanks for everything!
Really lovely spot ; great location . Was a perfect base for exploring so much of the West & central regions of Iceland. One of the best supplied rentals I have used- was able to cook anything with compromise on equipment. Extremely helpful and supportive hosts.We felt so at home here- it was hard to leave.
After being in Reykjavik, we came out to the Borgarnes area to relax and be closer to nature and the Snaefellsnes peninsula area. This little cabin was perfect for that! Felt remote, but was near everything we needed, and the views were so lovely.
Great location, very clean and cute cabin, perfect for a small family group, close to peninsula and a bunch of awesome sights, northern light viewing from the hot tub. Simply perfect.
