This lovely one bedroom home has everything you need to be self-sufficient and enjoy the beauty of the natural environment. It's located in a little cluster of similar new (but fashioned in the old Icelandic style) homes and is well-kept with picnic table out the back door. Everything was clean (be aware that you do the cleaning when you leave so that it's nice for the next person), spacious-feeling and decorated in a very cozy, homey way. We had a problem accessing the DVD, but Jakob talked us down and we enjoyed their movie collection. Overall, a really wonderful vacation home!

There is something to be said about staying in one area in Iceland rather than bouncing all around and spending too much time on the road. This cabin provides the PERFECT location. Such an abundance and variety of great things to do nearby. I recommend staying a few days here or even a full week. The cabin itself is fantastic for one or two people. All modern conveniences in working order. Thank goodness for the blinds... much needed in June at night. Very clean. Great to have a kitchen as it saves from eating out all the time, and there aren't many restaurants in the area anyway. View from cabin is to die for. Yeah, you gotta clean when you leave but that's a small price to pay for the perfect cabin in the perfect local. ##### Erik S.

Wow, how to put into words what a glorious stay my spouse and I had at this property! The house itself was as elegant, warm, and accommodating as we could have wished for, and the location was just consistently stunning. There are incredible views from the living room of the crashing ocean on the tall rocks with the sun on the horizon, impressive snow-covered mountains looming from the opposite side, and a cosy, charming home with truly impressive insulation and so many extra amenities we never knew needed to make our stay even more incredible than it already was (the heated bathroom floor leaps to mind!). We had a wonderful time those four days driving around the peninsula seeing the excessively beautiful and variable landscape and visiting the lovely, small communities in the area. The owner was responsive and maintained clear communication throughout the process, and overall I just couldn't be happier. I deeply hope we get another opportunity to stay in this gorgeous location! ##### Dawn F.

Sehr gemütlich eingerichtetes Häuschen mit offener Küche. Die Beschreibung des Objekts war in zweierlei Hinsicht nicht ganz transparent: Den angegebenen Whirlpool haben wir vergeblich gesucht. Und den Hinweis, dass vor der Abreise eine 'Reinigung' erforderlich ist, findet man erst auf den zweiten Blick unter 'Hausordnung'. Dass damit eine komplette Endreinigung gemeint ist (Boden wischen, Bettwäsche und Handtücher waschen, Betten für die nächsten Gäste beziehen etc), erfuhren wir erst nach der Buchung per Mail vom Vermieter. Da die Endreinigung recht zeitaufwändig ist, wäre es wünschenswert, diese Information klar ersichtlich ins Inserat mit aufzunehmen. Abgesehen davon haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt! ##### Jan P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lukas K. 12 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Schönes Cottage in schönster Natur Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Hellnar! Die Lage des Hauses ist atemberaubend mit Vulkan- und Meerblick, alle Ausflüge und Erkundungen auf der Halbinsel sind trotz der Abgeschiedenheit sehr gut zu machen. Das Haus selbst war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit einem sehr gemütlichen und großen Sofa. Die Küche war mit dem Nötigsten ausgerüstet. Die Vermieter haben sehr flexibel, schnell und freundlich reagiert, als wir um eine Lösung bezüglich der Endreinigung gefragt haben, vielen Dank! Und hier wäre der einzige Kritikpunkt, den wir hier trotz der 5 Sterne Bewertung ansprechen müssen. Bei der Buchung des Hauses über FeWo ist nicht ersichtlich, dass es einen Mietvertrag mit Endreinigung inkl. Waschen/Trocknen der Bettwäsche gibt, außerdem noch zahlreiche Hinweise/Ermahnungen (Wasser- und Internet sparen etc.) Auch haben wir uns nicht wohl gefühlt in dem Wissen, dass es einen fest installierten Schlüssel gibt, mit dem theoretisch jederzeit jemand, der den Code kennt, das Haus betreten könnte. Vielleicht bedarf dieser Vertrag einer zeitgemäßen Überarbeitung? Diese Dinge sollen aber unseren äußerst positiven Gesamteindruck nicht trüben, wir würden wieder sehr gerne kommen!! Herzlichen Dank an Jakob und Elsa! ##### Lukas K.

It’s not far from the sea, which you can see from the cottage. Good for self-catering or close to an excellent restaurant at the nearby Fosshotel. On a clear night, the stars were amazing, and there were great views of the northern lights! The property manager was very helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to come back! ##### Kristin J.
