I wished for a little more space above the bathroom sink when rinsing my face. A minor quibble on a glorious 4-day stay.

The quiet location on the lakefront was so peaceful, but still close to Reykjavík, shopping/food options, and activities! We loved having a coffee at the kitchen table and watching the birds and water right outside each morning. The cabin was well equipped for a comfortable stay including kitchen supplies. We also enjoyed the barrel sauna with the equally magnificent view!

Nothing.

Everything! Exceeded our expectation. Wonderful cabin with amazing views. It was stocked with many essentials (and more) for the kitchen (lovely coffee) and bathroom. We just didn't find a washing machine but this wasn't a problem as we didn't need it. Plenty of towels, games, candles, reading and colouring books. Everything was clean and comfortable, the sauna and hot tub both worked and were a great way to relax after a long day of exploring. We had a problem with the hot tub temperature being too high however the communication with the owners was brilliant, we receive very quick response and the problem was resolved promptly. Thank you so much for you're hospitality we had a lovely time and hope to return in the future

What’s not to like!? Stunning location overlooking a beautiful lake, really cosy and comfortable cabin with everything you could possibly need provided by the hosts. The sauna and hot tub were amazing after a day exploring Iceland.

What a beautiful find in the heart of Iceland’s Golden Circle. We are so pleased to have stayed here and can’t thank Freyr and Ragga enough. They were fantastic hosts, extremely responsive and created a real ‘home away from home’ cabin. The location is breath taking - the lake is vast and the cabin itself is perfectly equipped for a couple to stay with lots of small touches to make your stay even easier! Absolutely recommend booking if you’re looking for somewhere to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of Rek but close enough to all of the tourist attractions. We hope to be back in the near future!

Absolutely gorgeous location, the view was breathtaking and such a treat to wake up too. In a good location not far from the airport and the city, and has many views and scenic spots around it to visit. Hosts were very helpful with great communication. Would reccomend to anyone, beautiful place to stay.

The place is absolutely amazing, the only things I'd add is some lights in the driveway to make it abit easier to get into the drive on a night time and a little handle on the bathroom door 😄

Everything. There was nothing not to like. The location is stunning, the cabin was clean, warm and had everything you'd need. Loads off attention to little details, like food and drinks in the fridge and cupboards, heating on so it was warm when we arrived, extra blankets, dressing gowns to use and even games and books to do on a night.

My only complaint, is there was only 1 set of comfortable pillows, but we had 4 people. My husband and I were on the pull out couch, so we knew it wouldn’t be amazing, but good pillows really helped.

It was one of the most relaxing and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. It was also really well stocked and thought out, so we didn’t have to think of buying absolutely everything we needed.

Nothing, it was perfect!

Cabin was well stocked and very comfortable. The view and surrounding area was amazing. Host was helpful and responsive.

There was no such thing

Everything was just perfect, the hosts took care of every detail. The cottage is equipped with everything you may need and it’s located just at the lake, with a beautiful lake vie from the window. After the travel and sightseeing, you can relax in sauna and hot tube, even the bathrobes are ensured :)

The location was beautiful, and the cabin was clean and well-equipped with kind and friendly owners. The outside space was brilliant, including the hot tub, and the location was great for exploring by car too. We'd definitely come back and stay again!

Everything was awesome :) just be sure to be well stocked for groceries if you plan on cooking your own meals since the closest store is about 30 min away (not an inconveience for us, but know it may be for some).

What was there no to like about Ragga and Freyr's lakehouse cabin?!? - Gorgeous mountain views with gentle lake sounds - a sauna and hot tub (which we didn't get to try out, but next visit, we will!! You can essentially create your own private spa experience instead of paying money to go to one of the geothermal spa locations!!!) - heated floors, which I now want to have in our own house haha - amenities such as a mini stovetop and fridge, stocked with some goodies left by the hosts and a Nespresso machine - privacy and quiet!!!! As someone that grew up in the mountains, I really value my quiet, peaceful time and miss the sounds of nature now that I live in the city - this location really was so tranquil, theres not a lot of cars that go by. - there is a nice little cafe/restaurant down the road you can walk to that we stopped for dinner at after we got checked in. Wish we had went back to try a coffee, maybe next time ;) - its a good location if you want to drive out to Snaefellsnes for a day trip, drive up to Glymur for a long hike, or get on the 'Golden Circle' to check out Gullfoss, Geysir, Brúarfoss, Thingvellir National Park or Kerið Crater With it only being 45 min from Reykjavik, so if the weather is too rubbish to do outdoor things, its a short drive down to check out museums. Ragga - I can only hope I can return the favor to your hospitality whenever you decide to come this way - I may not have a cabin, but can fix you tradtional southern meal on your travels through ;)

We would like to express our deep gratitude for your beautiful house 😍 This is the perfect place where there is absolutely everything and even more! Thank you that the owners put their souls into their business, you can feel it from the moment you open the door to this beautiful cabin ❤️

Sauna was not included, and no washing machine

Clean, organised with everything you need, cozy and a stunning view

Stayed in January 2024

Amazing views, comfort, supplied local food, the heated floors and towel rack are the only heat source and we were never cold inside this lovely cabin! Oh and the just installed barrel sauna with a window overlooking the lake and mountains! The horses across the road that would stare at us as we walked to our car in the morning, and make the best horse noices!

It was so Cosy and comfortable after our long day's visiting everything iceland had to offer. It was so beautiful and we are very lucky to of stayed in such a lovely location.

Minor, but some decorative Christmas lights on adjoining property were not able to turn off which caused some light glare inside at night.

Very clean and comfortable with all the items you could want/need! We appreciated the option to turn off some lights on the adjoining property as we enjoy a dark at night which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. We would return.
