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.

Hellnar Heaven
I have stayed in VRBO rentals all over Europe and North America and this was by far my favorite location. Very few affordable homes have the Atlantic Ocean out the front front windows and mountains (and a glacier) out the back. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is truly a magical place and should not be missed. And this beautiful house was absolutely perfect and beautifully situated. Thank you Snorri and family for being such wonderful and accommodating hosts. We will come again.

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.

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.

Beautiful house - great location
Our family of 3 stayed here on our vacation in early June. Everything was clean and as described. It was a great location to do some day trips/hikes on the peninsula. Communication was very good and beds were comfortable. Please note: the bathroom is on the first floor and the steps to the bedrooms are steep. It didn't bother us but something to consider depending on your mobility if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Would highly recommend!

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.

This place was perfect for our needs. Great location for 3 days on the peninsula. The home is in a stunning setting with views of the ocean to the south and Snaefellsjokull to the North. Heated floors make the house warm and the decor is inviting and calming. Comfortable beds were appreciated after a day of adventures. Great kitchen for cooking with an exceptional selection of teas. We enjoyed delicious waffles one morning thanks to the provided mix and waffle maker. Snorri was available for questions when needed. By far our favorite places so far in Iceland.

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.

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 stay!
Great location! Beautiful view of Snaefellsnes. Excellent hiking. We especially enjoyed the beautiful walk between Hellnar and Arnastapi through the lava and along the cliffs. The house was comfortable with puzzles, games and movies (we watched Journey to the Center of the Earth, but they also had Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones) to enjoy on the day that it rained. Full kitchen and very comfortable house. Very nice swimming pool in Olafsvik. Highly recommended. We would stay there again!
