About this property

Art and nature retreat

The spacious design of our Mid-Century Modern home is great for family stays, reunions with friends and creative retreats. The wood paneled walls are adorned with original artwork, framed geological and hiking maps of the region, and a classical and acoustic guitar. The living and dining rooms are beautifully furnished with comfortable sofas and a large dining table that overlook the estuary and ocean. The bedrooms are furnished with comfortable beds, blankets, linens, & sheets. And the bathrooms are equipped with natural Icelandic soap, shampoo and towels. The kitchen is fully stocked with an array of spices, vinegar and oils. The pantry has some basics for late arrivals.

Our home was featured in Korea's In Style Magazine and has been filmed in numerous documentaries one of which is showing in the exhibition at Tales of Iceland in downtown Reykjavik.

There is a garden to relax in however children should not go or play there unattended as there is a bluff steep cliff.

Making the most of 4 days in West Iceland
This was a great location, lovely house and Michelle is a warm, super host. She gave us lots of tips to make sure we made the most of our time here. We packed so much in! The house is extremely relaxing- I loved the views in all directions. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. My son took up the opportunity to paint with Michelle and really enjoyed it. We’ve had a very special time here. Definitely recommend this spot.

Stunning property and location
The house was immaculate and the host, Michelle, gave us many tips on places to visit. Borgarnes is ideal for exploring the west and southwest of Iceland but the views from every window were so amazing that we were tempted to just stay and enjoy the stunning location! This property exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

Family trip 2023
Great home with an incredible view. House was clean and Michelle was very easy to work with. She provided lots of useful information about the area and things to do/see. We were fortunate to be in Iceland during the 2023 eruption and you could see the smoke plume from the living room!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Bird

Host profile image
I'm an artist, my art studio and apartment is below the rental property. I am a fanatic traveler and am passionate about creating inspiring environments. I have traveled to about over 32 countries and speak 5 languages. I paint in my studio on the property as well as everywhere else I visit! Welcome!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this home and it's stunning monumental views. From the living room, kitchen and office, you can see in full view the bay, the ocean, the glaciers langjokull and Eric's Jokull and monumental mountain Hafnarfjall which is a dormant volcano. During the winter I have seen Northern lights from inside the house on countless occasions from anytime in October until April. Lenticular clouds, pink and purple light flood the short days in the winter. Ice sheets in the water cluster and mount up on our shores. This is truly a magical setting anytime of the year.

What makes this property unique

Art lessons are included. An ideal space for a group or family. Minimum booking 3 nights. It is a 5 minute walk to the public geothermal hotpots at the swimming pool.
