Cozy Cottage on Hillside with Breathtaking Mountain Views, 3 mins from Route 1

Experience the ultimate Icelandic retreat in our cozy 1-bedroom wooden cottage perched on a peaceful hillside, just 3 minutes from Route 1. Enjoy sweeping panoramic views of untouched mountains and pure wilderness, offering a serene escape from city life. Perfectly situated between Reykjavík and Akureyri-each about 2.5 hours away-this cottage is an ideal base for exploring North Iceland’s natural wonders.

Just a 30-minute drive brings you to the iconic Hvítserkur rock formation, a 15-meter tall basalt sea stack known as the "Rhino Rock" or "Troll of Northwest Iceland." This striking natural monument, shaped by centuries of wind and waves, resembles a drinking elephant or dinosaur and is a favorite spot for photographers, bird watchers, and nature lovers alike. Nearby, you may also spot playful seal colonies along the Vatnsnes Peninsula.

For your convenience, the town of Hvammstangi is only 15 minutes away, where you’ll find grocery shopping at the local supermarket, charming restaurants like Sjavarborg offering fresh seafood with fjord views, and the Icelandic Seal Center, a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts.

Whether you seek tranquility, adventure, or a gateway to Iceland’s spectacular north, our cottage offers cozy comfort and breathtaking scenery for an unforgettable stay.

This stay was so fun! The property is very beautiful, and the cabins are cozy and comfy. We had a lovely time relaxing in the little living room, watching the colors of the sweeping scenery outside change dramatically throughout the evening. The cabins are super nice: great shower, nice little kitchenette, and feel very private with the blackout curtains drawn. The host is very kind and communicative, and clearly cares a lot about the property and running a great operation.

A Perfect Stay in a Beautiful, Well-Kept Cottage!

We had such a wonderful time at this cottage! From the moment we booked, the manager was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful — making the whole process easy and stress-free. The cottage itself is beautifully built, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with every comfort we could have hoped for. It felt cozy yet spacious, and everything was in perfect condition. The peaceful setting and warm atmosphere made it a true home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay — we left relaxed, happy, and already talking about when we can come back!

Brand new, cozy cabins with beautiful views in a secluded area! The cabins are located a few minutes off of Route 1, we found them without any issues. Our 2WD vehicle had no problems getting there. There're many windows and plenty of natural light. As nights tend to be on a colder side, we appreciated how well heating worked. Great water pressure in the shower. The host is wonderful. Informative, responsive, and proactive. Thank you for taking care of us, Viktor!
