The cottage was easy to find, clean and exactly what the pictures look like. It was nice to have a microwave to cook food because resturants everywhere are very expensive.

Excellent choix
Malgré un bug à l'arrivée (nous n'avions pas reçu le mail comprenant les instructions), le propriétaire a été très réactif à ce sujet.
Les cabines sont petites mais bien agencées, parfaites et suffisamment éloignées les unes des autres.
Cozy cabins in a great area…but. Be warned that there is mold in the bathrooms and BED BUGS. Spent the whole next day after our stay washing and sanitizing all our clothes and luggage. Hosts did not seem concerned and advised it was a non issue. Seeing the Aurora Borealis was the only consolation.
Cottage had a very strong smell when we arrived. Some mold was in the bathroom. We could not find the TV remote when we arrived. I texted the number for help they provided but never received a response.

Cute cottage up on a hill
Fabulous cottage with everything we needed but had to call the owners to ask for the information to be emailed to us so we could get in when we arrived.
If you want to add to your adventure and are willing to not just be in hotels, don't over-look this option. After a long drive and poor conditions we arrived later to the cabin. The communication to get in spot on, the conditions were really good and it had everything a person needed.
The evening had crazy high winds and I thought the cabin may blow over with the campers outside but it was warm and comfy. Wi fi and TV worked great, kitchen set up was good enough if you're staying more than one night. It's not for everone but it was great and a conversation piece for afterwards. Great experience.
Cozy cottages with lovely views. No o e nearby except a campground so very quiet.

Good cottage, but a bit small
Cottage is in very good condition, but just a bit small, particularly for the bathroom. The size of cottage is also a bit tight if you have 3 people when you have large luggges.

Enjoyed our cabin stay
Cozy cabin with everything necessary to cook dinner. Nice living room area, kitchen, and comfortable bed. Close to canyon waterfall, rock formations, and seal beach.
Very cute stay. The room was nice and private with everything we needed. The curtains did not really do much to prevent the midnight sun from coming directly into the sleeping area but we made do by hanging some extra coats, towels and sheets to block the direct sun.

Overnight stay
Cottage was as shown on booking site. Compact with suitable amenities. Very warm overnight and could not turn heating down. Booked as part of a circle drive. Did book incorrect date and discovered this soon after. Email to cottages to request a change went unanswered. I respect that no cancellation but to change to a next day date should not have been a problem. This meant I had to reorganise my trip. Wifi good. A little out of town.
I love these cottages! One of our best stays when we visited Iceland! Very cute and clean and comfortable. Communication was clear and check in was a breeze. Definitely recommend to others!!
This cottage was so cute. I wished the northern lights would have shown up because it was a perfect place to view them. The beds were supper comfortable. I got my best sleep there.
The smell from the sewer was too strong. Shower area was tight. Other than those, all was good. Everything including a full kitchen and a hairdryer was provided.
