Cozy home between Ocean an Glacier

A very quiet, cozy, and fully equipped holiday home by the sea, nestled in the stunning nature at the foot of Snæfellsjökull. 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.

Views are fantastic

Between the mountains behind the house and the ocean in front of the house, the views can’t be beat. Easy to get to all the points of interest on the peninsula. Out of the way of most of the hustle and bustle of a busy city, which is what we like.

Quaint Home in Beautiful Location

We had a wonderful time staying 4 nights in this unique home on the Snaefellsnes peninsula. It was very cozy, even with cold winds outside. The kitchen is small, but well-equipped. This worked fine for our group of 3, as we only made breakfast there. The beds were comfortable, and there are light darkening shades on the bedroom windows. The staircase to the second floor is steep, but we were careful and had no incidents.It was a great base from which to access the sights.

Wonderful rural home

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.

Lovely cottage

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.

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.

Wonderful home in beautiful Hellnar

We had a wonderful autumn vacation in Iceland on the peninsula in the shadow of Snæfellsjökull. It was wonderful to wake up to the views of the ocean to the south and the white capped Snæfellsjökull 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.

Perfect home in an amazing location

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.
