Beautiful and Cozy Cottage with Hot Tub close to Snæfellsnes National Park

Holt is a perfect base for your Icelandic holiday. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsjökull National Park, visit a natural hot spring like Deildartunguhver, or amazing waterfall like Hraunfossar. Other interesting places to visit are, the active volcano Grábrók, the crater Eldborg, historical viking landmark Reykholt, and taking a walk into the glacier Langjökull. You can stroll through the nearby cozy town of Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the capital Reykjavík with all its glory, nightlife and culture. Make a day trip on the Golden Circle and see the exploding Geysir with all its natural power, and drop by the historic Thingvellir National Park, and view close up the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. In the evenings you will always come back home to this cozy cottage in Helluskógur and the first thing you might do is, relax in the hot tub and enjoy the views or the Northern Lights in the peace and quietness after a memorable day.

The lodge was built in a traditional, Icelandic summerhouse way. It is well constructed and insulated. It is warm and cozy all year round with all necessities and comfort. The house has an open kitchen-living room area. In the kitchen there is all the tableware and equipment you need for cooking, baking, and serving a lovely meal. The living room has a great corner sofa and a large flat screen TV . The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable with great quality beds. Free WIFI.

On the large terrace is a nice hot tub that fits up to 6 people, barbecue grill and comfortable outdoor seating. The terrace is perfect for serving a good meal and relax in the peaceful environment. Beside the house is a grass lawn which is surrounded by a birch forest, ideal for kids to play.

We have been connected to Borgarfjörður since childhood and would like to share good advice and information about the house or the area so don't hesitate to send us an email request about anything you would like to know and we will do our best to help you.

Fantastic cabin
Perfectly remote and cozy! I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy sleeping in but the land was calling to us. Terrific house manual sent ahead of booked stay takes all the guess work out of using the property. There are adjacent properties but separated by heavy vegetation. We slept very comfortably. I could see a small family enjoying this space too. The views of the mountains are super from the big windows and on the deck.

Fun and relaxing time in nature
After being in Reykjavik, we came out to the Borgarnes area to relax and be closer to nature and the Snaefellsnes peninsula area. This little cabin was perfect for that! Felt remote, but was near everything we needed, and the views were so lovely.

Little slice of heaven
We stayed in this cabin for 3 nights and had a delightful time, I slept so well! The house is cozy, private, and nestled in nature. The amenities were perfect from kitchen, WiFi, hot tub and laundry. My daughter enjoyed reading in the loft area and she said it felt like a tree house:)

We loved the layout of the cabin- it was perfect forOur needs!
We had a great stay and Heidi and Rob were excellent to work with. They were very quick to respond via email before our trip and they provided excellent information about the cabin (directions, how to use features, etc.). We loved the location as it provided access to things that we wanted to see. Highly recommend!

cozy and remote
We had a nice stay at this cute little house. It was cozy with comfortable beds and a wonderful hot tub. It was definitely off the beaten track and took longer to get to destinations because of the remote location, but if you are looking for a cozy get away and enjoy the nearby river and surrounds, this house is very nice.

Great location near to Borganes but off the main road and secluded in the trees. All the required facilities for a midsummer night with the obligatory hot tub. We will be back perhaps in Winter next time

Peaceful, cozy retreat within easy range of spectacular glaciers and coastline
We spent four very enjoyable days at this great getaway house. Quiet, clean and well-supplied with very accommodating and easily contacted owners. Easy drives to Snaefellsjokull, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Langjokull and the food at the Hotel Budir. Exactly the place we like for combining active outdoor activities with a relaxing hot tub and a "cozy cottage". Highly recommended.

Very cozy and peaceful setting
Lots of space for 5 of us, and not too far from the Snaefellsnes Peninsula... our guys loved the hot tub, and it made a great base for the Borgarnes area. Heidi was very responsive, and generous with local tips. No luck on the Northern Lights, but some lovely starry skies.

Another Great Stay in Borganes!
This was my family's second stay at this sweet cottage outside of Borganes. We love it here. A peaceful and cozy home with every amenity needed. Heidi is very easy to communicate with. Great recommendations for activities and restaurants at the home. I'm sure we'll be back again soon!

Great Location
Clear instructions, not only in terms of directions, everything you need to know for your stay at the cottage. Heidrun made sure nothing is left out and appreciated making it easy for us and our stay at her cottage. It is in a great location not far from what south western Iceland has to offer, especially touring around the Snaefellsness peninsula. A very nice place to return to and relax. Loved it!

Lovely Home in Borgarnes!
My family and I recently stayed at this cottage near Borgarnes. We had such a lovely time. The home was filled with everything we needed. The laundry machine was a lifesaver! The location of the cottage is stunning. Such beautiful views! Heidirun was an excellent host, and her house guide contained excellent directions to the cottage. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable Cottage in Nature
Beautiful home in the Icelandic countryside. We stayed for a week with 6 children and had a great and memorable time. The home was comfortable and there was plenty to do in the yard and area. I was able to do some trail running around the cottage and by the beautiful river. Our favorite part within driving distance was the Snæfellsness peninsula! Robert was great in helping us during our stay. I would recommend this place. Thank you!

Marvelous
The place was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The hot tub was especially enjoyable. They have great instructions on how to get to the place and run things like remotes. They also checked in on us to see how we were doing and let us know about weather warnings while we were there. They provided us with great ideas of what to do and where to go. We slept upstairs and found the bed to be very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.

Well kept, clean house
We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and we used the grill both nights - it was great. The hot tub is well kept and out of the wind. The beds were smaller than we expected, and we did not care for the pillows at all, they were too flat. Be careful with the front steps - they are very small and slanted. We appreciated the extra towels and the comfortable couch with tv setup. We recieved a lot of really helpful information from our hosts for things to do in the area. Thank you!

Cozy cottage
This property was just as pictured, and the birch forest has grown quite a bit since the photos were taken. Mountain views, birds and the sound of the wind through the trees were all very peaceful. If you are driving a small car you may be surprised that the road to reach the cottage is unpaved and a bit Rocky. It is approximately 5 km from a paved road but no problem at all if a small car drives slowly. Our family had a lovely time and enjoyed seeing a mink exploring it's way through the wildflowers. Delightful!
