Our Cottage is located in West Iceland with a view over Lake Eiðisvatn, the Hvalfjörður fjord and the spectacular mountains around the fjord. It's behind the small village of Melahverfi, which is signposted on the ring road and around 15 minutes away from Akranes. In autumn and winter, this is also a good place to watch the Northern Lights. Although the view is wonderful, you can't help but see an aluminium plant a few kilometres away. We don't mind this sight - we live in our house next to the Cottage. Our cottage has a spacious living, dining and kitchen area, 1 bathroom (sink, toilet and shower) and 2 bedrooms. In one bedroom can sleep 3 people, the other 2 people. The large veranda with panoramic view also invites you to linger. You can park your car on our property directly in front of the parking sign for guests. The path on the left side leads past our house, directly to the Cottage. If you have questions or need help - no problem ... We live next door - you can contact us at any time ! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the sea - On a lake - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 538 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27116600/27116515/eead9ab4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### West Iceland, Spacious Comfort.
