2 Bedroom Cottage in Borgarnes, West Iceland

This cottage is self-contained, set in an old lava area covered with birchwood in West Iceland.
It has a master bedroom (sleeps 2), a 2°floor bedroom (sleeps 2), a studio with a sofa bed (sleeps 1-2), an open kitchen/dining/living-room, a w.c, a shower and a Finnish sauna. A spacious balcony surrounds the house, with access to car-park via a pedestrian bridge.
The house is set in a rural area characterized by lava and birchwood. Its exterior is clad with larch and grass (roof). The wonderfully clean water is extracted from the lava beneath the house.
Distance to Reykjavik is about 90 km, and there is about an hour´s drive to Stykkisholmur, the Snaefellsnes national park and Reykholt/Husafell.
Guests should be aware that the house is off the beaten track, i.e. it is located some 14 km. (gravel road) off the main road between Borgarnes and Stykkisholmur/Snæfellsnes, and the last 3-4 km. are a simple driveway. All services are sought in Borgarnes, some 24 km. (20-25 min.) drive from the house.
The house is on the fringe of an area where there are about 10 houses scattered in the lava, a few hundred meters from any other building. Tranquility and silence, disrupted only by bird song and the sound of water from a nearby brook.
The panorama is 360°. Excellent hiking routes in the lava fields/woodland, or on to the nearby hills and slopes. A very rich arctic flora. Nearby fresh water fishing in Lake Hitarvatn and Langavatn and salmon fishing in the many rivers in the Borgarfjordur area.
Leisure services in the region include horse-riding, fishing, hiking, bird-watching etc.
All facilities (e.g. turist info, grocery shopping, medical services, swim-hall, bakery, coffee shops etc.) are to be found in Borgarnes, 24 km. away.
A special house in a beautiful setting.

Summary: We so enjoyed staying in this lovely house! We visited in August and were very lucky with the weather, so were able to take advantage of the large deck and its amazing views. We traveled with another couple, and the house was a perfect size for the four of us. There are two very comfortable bedrooms (with amazing views), a cozy living area and kitchen/dining area that are all one space, and a little study off the living area. So we had plenty of room to spread out and relax. We also took advantage of the charcoal grill several nights for dinner. There's also a wood burning stove in the center that we used one night and I'm sure is wonderful to have during colder weather. The landscape around the house is just gorgeous. The house is nestled up near a steep mountain, and close by is a little creek with some walking paths. There are sheep all around too so we could frequently hear them baaing at each other. The whole area was so quiet and peaceful, it was really lovely. We were definitely sad to leave! The house is in a good location for plenty of day trips. We took trips around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, out to Husafell for hiking, to Glymur waterfall and Pingvellir, and we even took the car ferry up to the west fjords for one night. There are grocery stores, cafes, and some restaurants in Borganes, which is not far from the house. To get to the house from the main road is about 15km of gravel road (~25 minutes drive), which is mostly very easy driving, and the scenery is really something. There is a stretch of road that's super rocky, so just be aware of that if you're renting a car.
