Our house features five bedrooms, comfortably accommodating ten to twelve guests, with two individuals sharing each room (there are no single rooms in the house). The accommodation price depends on the number of people and the number of bedrooms occupied. We aim to make our guests' stay as comfortable as possible, offering a flexible pricing structure that caters to different group sizes. The basic rates apply for two guests in a double or twin room, with an additional charge of 7500 ISK per night for each extra guest after the second. Children under the age of 2 years stay free of charge in their parent’s room if an extra bed isn’t required.
Please note: Our regular rates apply for two guests occupying the double or twin room of their choice. For those preferring single occupancy in a double/twin room (without sharing with a second person), we offer an option at a small additional charge, providing extra space and comfort during your stay. This pricing system allows our guests to choose the right accommodation and avoid paying for unused bedrooms. Regardless of the number of bedrooms, all common areas such as the living room, kitchen, sunroom, and utility room are available for our guests.

It is hard to predict winter weather, and sometimes you can expect sunny, warm days following heavy snowfalls. Our house is accessible throughout the entire winter; however, sometimes snow drifts might obstruct the short road leading to our house, which is located just 30 meters from the regularly cleaned/plowed public road. The public road services work well, and our street just outside the gate is plowed as needed, usually within a couple of hours after the snow ends. While the main road is promptly cleared by public services, it's essential to note that private roads, such as the one leading to our house, are not regularly maintained during winter, only after the end of a heavy snowfalls. To overcome potential challenges, we recommend parking your car near the post box (as many locals do) on the well-cleared public road and walking the last 30 meters to the house on foot when the snow conditions make driving difficult. Alternatively, guests have the option to arrange clearing by a tractor/plow from a neighboring farmer for an extra fee.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with Netflix. The bathroom offers a jetted tub, hair dryers, and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.
