House for two by lake in Skorradalur
Skorradalur in West Iceland, close to Krauma geothermal baths (36 km)
Set among the peaceful surroundings of Skorradalur, this compact and thoughtfully designed house is a comfortable place to enjoy a quiet stay by the lake. The highlight of the open-plan living area is the corner sofa, where you can sit back with a coffee and take in the beautiful views over Lake Skorradalsvatn.
The kitchen is small but well equipped with everything you need for simple meals during your stay, including a two-ring stove, air fryer, mini fridge with freezer compartment and Nespresso coffee machine. A small dining table sits alongside the kitchen and living area, creating a cosy space for meals and relaxing together.
The house has one bedroom with a comfortable 150 × 200 cm bed, as well as a bathroom with a shower cubicle. For additional sleeping space, the attic has three floor mattresses. Please note that the attic is accessed by a steep staircase and may not be suitable for everyone.
Private parking is available by the road above the house. Please be aware that the house is reached from the parking area via a stairway leading down to the property, so guests should be prepared to use stairs when arriving and departing with luggage.

Set beside Lake Skorradalsvatn in the wooded Skorradalur valley, the house offers a quiet countryside setting while still being within easy reach of Reykjavík. The surrounding area is well suited to both relaxing at the lake and exploring West Iceland by car.
Borgarnes and the wider Borgarfjörður region are an easy choice for a day out, with Reykholt, Deildartunguhver and the Hraunfossar waterfalls among the places worth visiting. Húsafell is also within reach, with hiking, lava caves and views towards the Langjökull glacier.
For a different kind of outing, Hvammsvík Hot Springs in Hvalfjörður is a great option. The natural geothermal pools sit right by the sea. Or visit one of the local swimming pool where the locals like to stop and enjoy them self.
The Golden Circle is also possible as a day trip, with Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss all offering a change of scenery from the quieter surroundings of Skorradalur.
Closer to home, the lake, surrounding forests and walking routes provide plenty of opportunity to get outside without needing to drive anywhere.
Please note: The house is reached via a stairway from the parking area, with many steps leading down to the property. Guests should be comfortable using stairs, including when carrying luggage.
