Holiday home Einishus Cottages

Einarsstadir 2, 650 Laugar, Iceland –

Excellent location in a valley, conveniently located just off Route 1. The cottages are well equipped & the geothermal hot tub is a great bonus!

Amy, United Kingdom

Cozy and lovely place! Can observe an aurora. Good location for Mivatn and Godafoss.

Traveller, South Korea

Cozy cottage with everything we need. Love the hot tub and BBQ stove. We saw aurora here.

Tan, Malaysia

Beautiful little cottage, great interior and excellent hot tub. Best place during our 10 day Iceland stay. We can highly recommend this place!

Nadine, Germany

Auto check-in, so you don't need to schedule your arrival hour. Ultra nice house, with incredible views (2 falls), good spring hot water in the hot tub, BBQ and a fully equipped kitchen. Even with several houses, you can keep your privacy.

Ignacio, Spain

good facilities. easy self check in. should be a good place to see aurora but that night was raining. the oven was good, as well as the dish washing machine. the place is nice, cosy and comfortable.

Woon, Malaysia

The cabins are large and open with a lot of windows. The kitchen is well equipped. My wife and I stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin which gave us room for suitcases. There is also a loft over the living room that could sleep several individuals (mattresses are provided). Each cabin has a hot tub right out the door. The cabins are well kept and very clean! The location is a great place for viewing the Northern Lights (when visible) -- very little light pollution. Just a few kilometers down the road from Godafoss and within 50 minutes of Lake Myvatn and the geothermal area. We loved the two nights we stayed and would strongly recommend it!

Dave, USA

Check in/out was easy - self service. The location is great and very well connected. the premises is very well maintained. Great amenities- outdoor grill and hot tub on a private porch.

Reshef, Israel

We stayed two nights in two different cottage. The one bedroom cottage was not great - quite outdated and wasn't very clean. The two bedroom cottage was much better - newer and better facilities.

Einir Viðar Björnsson / Guðfinna Sverrisdóttir

The cottages are in a farm area which is very tranquil and nice. You can get away from all the stress, relax in the hot tub, enjoy the environment and breathe in the good air in Iceland.

We are the owners Einir and Guðfinna and we had this dream for a long time to build these cottages in their favorite environment and letting people experience the tranquility of the area. We have been married for 40 years. We have four grown children and many grand-children. Einir was raised her on this farm but Guðfinna is from Reykjavík We started Einishús in 2012 and then we where working elsewhere also but now we only work here. Because we are only two of us working here we can not be all the time at the office. We have to clean the houses and wash the linen. Therefore we sometimes leave the key outside the office and our costumers can take the key at any time they like after 3 o'clock and in the morning return it to the mailbox when they leave. We really want to meet all our guests so if you see our marked car by some house we are there cleaning so do not hesitate to come and talk to us. You can also call us or send us an e-mail and we will answer you as quickly as we can. We are here to help you any way we can. Warm regards Guðfinna and Einir

Laugar is a small village nearby, 3km, and there is a good outdoor swimming pool and a restaurant, Dalakofinn. Goðafoss is a beautiful waterfall about 10km away. Very nice environment and you can hike around.

“Lovely. Would stay again.”
- • Leisure trip

The beds were a little uncomfortable. That may be partially our own fault. We probably should have specified that we wanted a large double. We pushed the two twin beds together and it wasn't as comfortable as it could have been. The self check-in was super easy and I understand why they do it, but one of the things I like most about travel is chatting with local people about the area. We missed that human connection. However, the owners make it clear that if you happen to see them on the property you should feel free to chat with them.
The location was great. The welcome package was really helpful. Self check-in was easy. The hot tub and heated floors were lovely. It was a great place to relax at the end of a long day. It was nice to have a kitchen for a couple of days. I had some questions prior to arrival and the owners were very kind and responsive.
