Loved this quiet cabin! Can see seljalandfoss in the distance. Would’ve been a great spot for aurora viewing, though we had a very cloudy night. Small kitchenette for any cooking you need, but we enjoyed dinner nearby at Hygge. Would stay again!

This was an easy and convenient stop on our Ring Road trip. We were hoping to see the Northern Lights but just too cloudy. The unit was clean and had what we needed.

Very nice cabin with wide open views

Great place. It's got a great view even in the summer without northern lights to look at. It was comfy and everything was super easy for check in and check out.

Room was clean. Area was fairly remote, but on someone's farm, which was fine with us. I think the weather hindered our stay. It was rainy cold and extremely windy, so we couldn't enjoy the outdoors which was why we wanted to stay there. The wind blew all night long, you could hear it in the main space but was very quiet in the bedroom. The weather wasn't the fault of the location. So all in all we were happy, warm, and safe.

This was the best place that we stayed in Iceland. On a clear day, we can see the waterfall from our cottage. Bryndis and her staff were so easy to communicate with when we needed more household items. I highly recommend this place and we would rebook in a heartbeat.
