GREAT LOCATION - LUXURY COTTAGE – UNIQUE SURROUNDINGS - GLACIER – NATIONAL PARK

Very cosy one bedroom house. Tastefully decorated warm and welcoming.

Kjarvalströð 12 is a one bedroom new luxury 'old style' privately owned cottages located in the spectacular and unique surroundings of Snaefellsnes on the west coast. Approx. two hour drive from Reykjavik. The National Park is only 5 min away. Enjoy the magnificent views of the glacier Snaefellsjökull, the surrounding mountains, and over the bay Faxaflói. The cottage is one of few cottages designed as Icelandic houses from 1920's. There are plenty of things to do and see in the area such as: beautiful hiking, whale watching, sailing around the many islands, historical places, bird watching, skiing and sightseeing on the glacier.

If you are looking for a quiet area to relax, or want to explore the unspoiled nature and many wonderful activities in the area, these Cottages are the perfect place!

The cottage was compact and well equipped for 2 people. I liked the quiet location and easy parking. I had two caveats: large downloads and streaming was prohibited on the wifi and guests were requested to change the bedding, make up the bed for the next guests arriving.

Perfect Getaway
I stayed here in late march and it was perfect… not busy, northern lights vieable from the front door, and I felt almost as if I had the entire area to myself. A wonderful quiet getaway in a convenient location to the park. Cozy cottage was perfect!

Great place
The house was very lovely, confortable and well-decorated. We feel like at home. It was very clean. The place is very quiet and so nice! We enjoyed very much staying here and it's a good place to visit around and the Snaefellsnes peninsula.

Tiny little cottages in the southern part of the western fjords
We had some relaxing days in this tiny little cottage that offers everything you need for a stay. Unfortunately, we had pretty bad weather (windy, snowy and cold), so that we decided to leave earlier than planned. But during summer time it must be marvelous.

nice cottage
Nice cottage with a big living room (compared to all other cottages where we were). We covered the camera in the living room as we didn't find that appropriate. Great view on the snaefelljökull and the sea, the latter unfortunately interrupted by some other cottages.

Lovely home and fabulous location!
This lovely one bedroom home has everything you need to be self-sufficient and enjoy the beauty of the natural environment. It's located in a little cluster of similar new (but fashioned in the old Icelandic style) homes and is well-kept with picnic table out the back door. Everything was clean (be aware that you do the cleaning when you leave so that it's nice for the next person), spacious-feeling and decorated in a very cozy, homey way. We had a problem accessing the DVD, but Jakob talked us down and we enjoyed their movie collection. Overall, a really wonderful vacation home! Oh, and Jakob was very helpful planning in advance of our trip!

Perfect Location. Something special.
There is something to be said about staying in one area in Iceland rather than bouncing all around and spending too much time on the road. This cabin provides the PERFECT location. Such an abundance and variety of great things to do nearby. I recommend staying a few days here or even a full week. The cabin itself is fantastic for one or two people. All modern conveniences in working order. Thank goodness for the blinds... much needed in June at night. Very clean. Great to have a kitchen as it saves from eating out all the time, and there aren't many restaurants in the area anyway. View from cabin is to die for. Yeah, you gotta clean when you leave but that's a small price to pay for the perfect cabin in the perfect local.

Gemütliches Ferienhaus in bester Lage
Bezaubernde, ruhige Lage mit Meeresblick in einer kleinen Ferienhaussiedlung in zweiter Reihe. Sehr gemütlich eingerichtetes Häuschen mit offener Küche. Die Beschreibung des Objekts war in zweierlei Hinsicht nicht ganz transparent: Den angegebenen Whirlpool haben wir vergeblich gesucht. Und den Hinweis, dass vor der Abreise eine 'Reinigung' erforderlich ist, findet man erst auf den zweiten Blick unter 'Hausordnung'. Dass damit eine komplette Endreinigung gemeint ist (Boden wischen, Bettwäsche und Handtücher waschen, Betten für die nächsten Gäste beziehen etc), erfuhren wir erst nach der Buchung per Mail vom Vermieter. Da die Endreinigung recht zeitaufwändig ist, wäre es wünschenswert, diese Information klar ersichtlich ins Inserat mit aufzunehmen. Abgesehen davon haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Schönes Cottage in schönster Natur
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Hellnar! Die Lage des Hauses ist atemberaubend mit Vulkan- und Meerblick, alle Ausflüge und Erkundungen auf der Halbinsel sind trotz der Abgeschiedenheit sehr gut zu machen. Das Haus selbst war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit einem sehr gemütlichen und großen Sofa. Die Küche war mit dem Nötigsten ausgerüstet. Die Vermieter haben sehr flexibel, schnell und freundlich reagiert, als wir um eine Lösung bezüglich der Endreinigung gefragt haben, vielen Dank! Und hier wäre der einzige Kritikpunkt, den wir hier trotz der 5 Sterne Bewertung ansprechen müssen. Bei der Buchung des Hauses über FeWo ist nicht ersichtlich, dass es einen Mietvertrag mit Endreinigung inkl. Waschen/Trocknen der Bettwäsche gibt, außerdem noch zahlreiche Hinweise/Ermahnungen (Wasser- und Internet sparen etc.) Auch haben wir uns nicht wohl gefühlt in dem Wissen, dass es einen fest installierten Schlüssel gibt, mit dem theoretisch jederzeit jemand, der den Code kennt, das Haus betreten könnte. Vielleicht bedarf dieser Vertrag einer zeitgemäßen Überarbeitung? Diese Dinge sollen aber unseren äußerst positiven Gesamteindruck nicht trüben, wir würden wieder sehr gerne kommen!! Herzlichen Dank an Jakob und Elsa!

Comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting
The cottage was very comfortable and in a perfect setting to explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. It’s not far from the sea, which you can see from the cottage. Good for self-catering or close to an excellent restaurant at the nearby Fosshotel. On a clear night, the stars were amazing, and there were great views of the northern lights! The property manager was very helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to come back!

Idyllisches Häuschen am Ende der Welt
Wir waren 5 Nächte in der Unterkunft, die Unterkunft liegt in einer kleinen Siedlung 300m vom Meer entfernt. Die Natur ist in diesem Gebiet einfach Wunderschön. Wir haben die ganze Halbinsel von der Unterkunft aus erkundet und musste nie länger als 70mim fahren. Das einzige was man beachten muss ist, dass man seine Einkäufe gut planen muss. Am besten schon auf der Hinfahrt einkaufen. Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen und kann es jedem empfehlen.
