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

Erla's house has everything you need for a perfect family vacation. It's close to a town with good restaurants and supermarkets, and some incredible natural places of interest are less than half an hour away. There was a problem with the toilet when we arrived, and within half an hour the host and a plumber were there to fix it! The hot tub is wonderful, the house is cozy and the beds are so very comfortable. I would highly recommend this lovely home in the country. And the views (see photo below) from the house are incredible!!!

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.

Perfect place!

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.

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!

Nice cottage, nice location

Lovely, homely cottage located in a quiet area of Iceland. Lots to explore during the day (glaciers, lava tunnels, coastal towns) and it's nice and dark in the evenings for a chance to see the northern lights. Erla was very helpful in the booking process. Thank you!

Charming house with lovely views all around

The property was ideal for our small group of friends and provided an excellent base for exploring Borgarfjordur and Snaefellsnes areas. We especially enjoyed the views from the house and the spacious living area. The location was very convenient, not too far off the main road, yet very quiet and rural. Erla was helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay. We would certainly recommend a stay at Storaborg.

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!

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.

A quiet cottage that feels like Iceland

This was an amazing place to stay off the beaten path in the nature of Iceland. There were five people in our group (including kids aged 9 and 7). It’s fairly secluded, but also about 10 mins to a grocery store, which really helped us control our food budget.The house was very clean, with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The washer and dryer worked very well and the beds were comfortable. The kids really enjoyed exploring the various flowers and trees located around the property. There is access to some of the traditional streaming platforms and they even have DVDs with entertainment for kids and adults alike. Be sure to sign the guest book!

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.

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.

A Delightful and Magical Experience!

We had such a delightful stay in this adorable cottage! ~ Erla was a wonderful host, even meeting us when we arrived and checking in on us via e-mail during our stay. ~ The location was perfect for seeing the Northern Lights (which we saw twice during our week there) - and for accessing all the major sights in West Iceland. ~ The cottage, itself, was simply adorable! The beds were very comfortable - and the living room, kitchen, and dining area provided just the right space we needed to relax and make ourselves "at home." ~ We also loved the many artistic touches throughout the house, giving it an artsy-feel. ~ The cottage is well-insulated and very soundly-built, which is ideal for those strong Icelandic winds! ~ Thank you, Erla, for a delightful and magical experience! We truly enjoyed our winter stay in your lovely cabin - and hope to return soon for a summer visit!

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!

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.

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.
