Location was beautiful - just like the pictures. You should include even more pics of the river which is almost right at the end of the driveway - what a great view. We spent time wading through the river and I enjoyed running through the area and the fields. Once we went off the main road to the house, we only saw one other car - pure quiet. Easy access to Borgarnes which we went to multiple days. The main living room is spectacular with windows on 3 sides. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Outdoor shower was very useful, hot tub is great. Know sauna room heater needs fixing so was not available - will be great for future guests. I would gladly stay again and highly recommend for those who enjoy the outdoors. Thank you for sharing your home with our family from the USA - Iceland is wonderful.
This is not a standard Vrbo. This is a lovely home in a remote area beside a river.
The owners could not be better. They were available, but they were not at all intrusive. They made sure to alert us to a yellow Highwind day.
I am from a place with Highwinds, but I could not have anticipated the intensity of a yellow alert, and it would have been difficult and dangerous to drive, or to hike on exposed mountain trails .
The home has a cabin feel to it, but it has very modern infrastructure.
Do not come here to be loud, noisy and reckless because it is clearly someoneâs home.
Come here to be in nature, to step away from your every day, busy life, and experience, equal parts, piece, and exhilaration.
The house itself is a beautiful wood cabin that is very clean and well kept. The jewel in its crown is its location, it has amazing views and a river a stones throw away. Loved it there
Very nice cabin with a great view of the river and several glaciers and mountains
About 20 minutes from Borgarnes. Cabin was comfortable and convenient to many of the sites in the south/southwest area of Iceland. About 45 min to Snaefellsjokull Natl Park and other sites on the peninsula. Recommend stopping at a grocery store before getting to the cabin. Borgarnes has a Netto and Bonus store. Both good. Also, there are gas stations right in town.
We were a family of 5 adults and were comfortable. It would have been a bit crowded with more than 5 adults. Also, the road to the house from the highway is a bit rough. We had an all wheel drive SUV, so no issues. Otherwise, we enjoyed the stay and woould recommend this place as a base for seeing the sites on the south and east side of the island.
The views from this property and deck were beyond words. It was exactly what my family needed to relax in Iceland for a couple days. The host was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. I greatly appreciated this property and would go back in a heartbeat!
We had a great stay at this house. Five guests - two adults and three children. Views are amazing. House is very comfortable with a large living room. Kids loved the hot tub. Hosts were responsive and accommodating.
The cottage was beautiful - so cozy and warm. We enjoyed using the sauna and the hot tub, and having a fire every night. And we had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights our very first night there! It was a dream come true. We hope to make it back there one day.

Perfect Vacation!
My husband and I stayed at this lodge for a week at the beginning of October. We loved it! The house was warm, inviting and clean. The surrounding and river were so beautiful - we didn't want to leave! We explored the Golden Circle, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Reykjavik and the south coast (black beach) all using Margret's lodge as out home base. Coming back to the hot tub every evening was a job (we even witnessed the Aurora a few times)! Thank you for everything!
Lovely cozy cabin with spectacular scenery and facilities
The cabin is great, loved the hot tub despite it being below freezing outside. We got to see the northern lights!
We seemed to have the valley to ourselves which I loved.
Glad we had a 4WD as the rough track was steep and narrow and covered in ice, would be ok in summer.
Everything was more than we had anticipated. Absolutely beautiful, comfortable, warm, amazing home and owner was so helpful leading up to and during stay. Super easy access arrangements that worked with our travel plans, very detailed directions to locate the home.
Extra comfortable and delightful lodge decor with fireplace. Great to relax in hot tub and sauna after a day's sightseeing. Enjoy the evenings and the fantastic view on the porch/ veranda.
