Enjoyable stay out of town

Out of town, but the restaraunt is great for a meal & the breakfast quite satisfying. You can walk around the cemetery & there is a little cute church there as well.

Quaint Home Stay

This property is worth the money for what you get. Room was cozy and clean and the water pressure in the bathroom was great. The location was perfect for where we needed to get and the view was stunning.

It’s by a small lake, very quiet, with beautiful lake views. Our group of 8 people shared kitchen and dinning area among ourselves. Each room has own bathroom. Breakfast is provided with no charge. Check in and out are very easy. Thanks for a very nice stay.

peaceful lake

Beautiful location on a quiet lake with horses nearby (and sheep farther away). Room and bathroom were spartan and clean. Large kitchen and supplies to prepare your own meals (which you may want to do since this is fairly isolated).

This place was a perfect place to stay "off the beaten path" along our road trip. Beautiful views of the water! The breakfast was good and convenient, as it is about a 15-20 min drive to any restaurants/markets. Nearest town (Blonduos) has a great restaurant in town (Teni's) that serves Ethiopian food!

What a lovely guesthouse! Right on the lake, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and decent bathrooms, a kitchen for cooking or warming food, comfy sofas in the lounge area and a great breakfast. The owner was very friendly on check in and at breakfast. 5 out of 5!

The guesthouse was lovely, well laid out with the shared kitchen, dinning area and entertainment area. Heaps of space, rooms are clean and very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and shared areas! There is a huge area on the accommodation location to explore to see sheep and Icelandic horses next to a lake! Me and my husband had a good afternoon doing that once we settled into our rooms. Would recommend to others 👍

Nice place but very basic. She checked us in early which was really appreciated as we were in a snowstorm. The place has all the necessities but no breakfast or dinner you need to drive to Blondus for those. That’s about 25 minutes drive.

This is a family-run guesthouse, situated on their farm that is on a lovely lake. The guesthouse was clean and safe, albeit a bit spartan. Nonetheless, it had everything we needed. There is a shared kitchen for the guests to use and we made our own dinner, as there are no restaurants we found close by. Breakfast is provided. While a bit off the beaten path, the location was lovely and a great place for hikers and those exploring off the main highway. The check in/out process was very easy and the young lady who greeted us was very kind and helpful.

A nice quest house that was bit off the beaten track. It was nice and clean and quiet. I had thought breakfast was included but it was not. We had food with us so it wasn't a big deal. The shared kitchen was very nice.
