Listing highlights

Unwind in the hot tub

This is one of the few places in the area with this amenity.
Tucked away in a secluded birch grove, Litla-Brekka is a charming countryside retreat featuring a main cabin and a detached guesthouse, both connected by a spacious shared patio and outdoor leisure area. This unique setup offers privacy and flexibility for families, friends, or couples traveling together.

The space
The main and guest cabins sit harmoniously within a lush forest setting, linked by an expansive wooden deck that serves as the heart of the outdoor space. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or dining al fresco, this shared area creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxing and socializing.

The main cabin serves as the heart of the retreat, with a warm and inviting interior clad in natural wood. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept living and dining area with large windows that bring in light and forest views. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, perfect for preparing home-cooked meals. There are three cozy bedrooms, each uniquely decorated with personal touches and ample storage. The bathroom is bright, clean, and well-appointed with a shower and all necessary amenities. The cabin's interior is full of character, decorated with vintage pieces, art, and handcrafted items that reflect the owner's love of Icelandic heritage and countryside living.

The detached guesthouse sits just a few steps away, offering its own quiet sleeping space with direct access to the shared patio. This makes it an excellent option for grandparents, older kids, or couples traveling together. While separate, it remains fully integrated into the shared outdoor area, allowing all guests to enjoy meals, relaxation, and social time together without sacrificing comfort or privacy.

The outdoor space is one of Litla-Brekka’s standout features. The large wooden deck is perfect for relaxing, with a geothermal hot tub at its center—ideal for unwinding beneath the midnight sun or under a star-filled sky. A winding path through the trees leads to a tranquil fish pond with small sculptures and thoughtful landscaping. Several benches and picnic areas are placed throughout the garden, inviting you to enjoy a meal, read a book, or simply sit and listen to the birds. The grounds are full of character, dotted with playful ornaments, carved figures, and quiet corners that feel both whimsical and calming.
