It is a bit small but for the three of us it worked fine. The only downside is there is no where to leave baggage except in the living room. The hot tub was great. The setting was beautiful. The host was great at communicating. Although directions to the location seemed complicated, they were easy to follow and we got thereThe first try. The host responded in a very timely manner to all requests. The location was at least 15-20 minutes from downtown Reykjavík butItWorked out really well for us. We ate all breakfasts and suppers in. The kitchen worked well. Fridge was large so buying a few groceries was not a problem. There is a great stove, air fryer, toaster, microwave and enough cutlery and serving spoons for many more people than the cabin truly has space for. This would be a great spot for two couples or a family with 3 or fewer kids. I’d highly recommend! ##### Robin B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy B.

The cozy house is in the middle of nature, but still not far from Reykjavik. It is only 15 min to the center. The house had everything we expected and the kitchen is fully equipped, even a Nespresso coffee machine is available. After a day of exploring Reykjavik and the surrounding areas or the Golden Circle we enjoyed sitting on the sofa and looking out of the large windows into nature. It is really a peaceful place. We absolutely enjoyed our time in Paradise Cottage and can highly recommend this accommodation. ##### Frank K. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William T. M.

We stayed for about a week and rented a car. You will need a car if you’d like to stay here. About 20 minutes from downtown. On Google maps type in “paradise cottage”… much easier that trying to follow the directions. Nice being able to shop and cook, as well as do laundry. Shower is outside, but nice hot water. Hot tub is great!! Walking trails accessible from the yard… lots of birds to see!! ##### William T. M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H. Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise it is! This place is wonderful! Great location overlooking a lake with mountain skyline. A deck where we ate our breakfast each morning, and a hot tub where we spent each evening after touring. For anyone who like to stay out in the countryside but still be near the city, this is the place! It is not a hotel or a traditional house in the city. It is unconventional... we thought of it as "glamping"! We were nervous when we read that the shower is outdoors, but it was not just OK, it was great! You do have to do all your own cleaning of linens and towels, and you have to clean the bathroom and floors before you leave. But this saves money because they don't charge a cleaning fee, so this is better. All around, highly recommended! ##### John H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeanne W., Grew up in the Navy all over America and Europe, so citizen of the world. Sep 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Beautiful nature park cottage We greatly enjoyed the decks and views in the nature environment. Hot tub was great for relaxing after the day. Good proximity to stores and the city. What was challenging were 2 things: 1) ONLY an outdoor shower, an outdoor shower is nice in good weather but when cold and raining it was not good at all, the bathroom was not a good set up. Also: 2) It was excessively stressed in notes to "guests" - SELF CLEANING - which in over 70 VRBOs we've stayed it - we clean up and leave it as we found it - after a week we don't usually clean under the beds - unless something required that. That to us is an owner's responsibility for periodic cleaning and arrangement for the next guests. After 3 weeks in Iclenad - a wonderul country, we were glad we had the experience at the cottage but wouldn't stay there again. Takk fyrir. ##### Jeanne W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria K. Aug 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise cottage Peaceful surroundings with a beautiful view of the lake and sounds of birds and loons. Close drive to Reykjavík. This cottage has all the amenities one would need for a getaway. The cottage was very clean and it felt very cosy. The bedrooms were very comfortable with fluffy pillows. The outdoor shower was unique but if you don’t mind quickly running out in the cold mornings, you can actually get a decent shower with hot water. No one will see you btw. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Iceland. You do have to give yourself time to clean up the cottage and change the linens before you leave , so if you have to catch an early flight , just be prepared to wake up earlier. I loved this place and so did my family . The owner can easily be reached via email if you have any questions or concerns and has a quick response . Thank you for allowing us into your beautiful cottage. July 2023 ##### Maria K.
