This is a lovely home, well-outfitted, and very cozy! The area feels remote, but there are a variety of activities and beautiful places to explore, and it is a short drive from Reykjavik! Great communication! Weâd definitely return!
Location is wonderful for those who want a quiet retreat with access to hiking and sightseeing in Snaefellsnes National Park. The house is well maintained and perfectly equipped for family dinners and comfortable evenings after outdoor activities.
Such a beautiful setting, views out of every window. Loved walking down to the beach and enjoying the cafe. Cozy on a rainy day, and so much to do close by on nice days.
This was the perfect place for the end of our Iceland adventure. Very clean, awesome location on the Snaefellsnes peninsula, plenty of room, and a very helpful owner.
We could hike a lot. Apartment has a splendid ambiance. Supermarket is on other side of peninsula. Not everything available and quite pricy but quality is good. Better bring food from bigger town.
A very quiet, cozy, and fully equipped holiday home by the sea, nestled in the stunning nature at the foot of SnÊfellsjökull. It is a perfect starting point for day trips to the nearby national park or to Kirkjufell. Communication with the owner, Snorri, was smooth and prompt. Absolutely recommended for 2 to 4 people. We would gladly return anytime.
The home was wonderful and in a stunning setting. Quiet location with ocean view to front and mountain (volcano) view at back. We all loved our stay. Would highly recommend to others.
The house was amazing, so beautiful, warm and welcoming. We loved exploring the peninsula. The whole region was stunning, and the location of the home was perfect for exploring!
Wonderful house surrounded by stunning countryside
The very cozy house is perfectly equipped and located in the middle of a magnificent scenery. All those who are looking for tranquility, pure nature and detachment from civilization will be happy here. A wonderful place!
We loved this house- not only the comfy, well-allocated house but also the location. close to the peninsula and all of the things to see but we could also walk out the door to take hikes. hope to come back some day :)
This absolutely stunning home was perfectly nestled in between mountains and ocean. The home has all the comforts needed to feel at home.
Beds were very comfortable, the views from every window, very easy access & check in.
We loved our stay! Shower and hot water was just perfect!
We will be back!
Thank you,

Really nice cottage in a fantastic area. Everything worked just fine and the host was very helpfull all the way. Lots of tourists in late august but also possible to find less crowded spaces. And always nice to come home to the cottage after a long day!
Charming, comfortable, well-appointed house in fantastic location
We loved our stay at this property. The house was very comfortable and charming, and the location was perfect for exploration of all parts of the stunning Snaefellsnes peninsula, including the national park. We stayed 4 nights, but could imagine staying longer. Communication with the hosts was excellent. This was our favorite accommodation during 2 weeks in Iceland, and compares favorably with other VRBO rentals we've done in other countries.
This home is rural, but in a beautiful setting! It is also well stocked with games and drawing supplies for the kids. It was a great place to stay while exploring the western end of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. And there was a grocery store, pool, and playgrounds only 35 minutes away.
We had a wonderfull time in Iceland and this cottage made our vacation very comfortable. It was the perfect place to get home to after a long and, sometimes, cold day outside. The cottage was clean, all necessities are there and it is lovely decorated. It made us fell "at home" during the 1,5 weeks we spend there. Thanks for Thordis and Snorri for sharing this lovely cottage with us.
This is a one-of-a-kind property in the most amazing location! The house is an absolute jewel and it is exceptionally decorated. The owners communicate well and shared their insider's list of places to see that were off the beaten track. We would definitely book this property again!
We had a wonderful autumn vacation in Iceland on the peninsula in the shadow of SnÊfellsjökull.
It was wonderful to wake up to the views of the ocean to the south and the white capped SnÊfellsjökull mountain to the north. Hellnar was quiet and the property was beautiful and cozy.
The house itself was beautiful, well maintained, warm and had everything we needed for a great stay. Snorri, the owner was responsive on VRBO and we were fully satisfied.
My family and I absolutely loved staying at Snorri and Thordis's beautiful cottage in Hellnar. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of the most beautiful places we have traveled. The house was in the perfect spot to sightsee during the day and relax in at night while enjoying both mountain and ocean views. The house is great for children and they have plenty of games, Lego, art supplies, and more. We felt completely at home and would welcome the chance to stay in the cottage again. It was beautiful, well kept, cozy, and the location can't be beat.
We are a family of five and are very active in hiking, skiing and nature exploring. We were hiking in the area in 2019 and by change came across this beautiful house in this stunning landscape - Simply meant to be. We live in Reykjavik and use this house primarily as our family getaway and writing retreat. It has truly become the favorite place among all family members :)
