4 Br Cottage Vacation Rental In Bifrost, West Iceland

River views, mountain scenery and your own private hot tub—welcome to Nes.

An architect-designed retreat for up to 10 guests in West Iceland, Nes combines floor-to-ceiling windows, generous living spaces and a separate guesthouse, giving family and friends room to gather and space for privacy.

Walk from Nes to Glanni waterfall or Norðurá river, then return for a relaxing soak in the hot tub with river and mountain views.

Spend your days discovering Borgarfjörður and Snæfellsnes, and your evenings cooking together, relaxing on the terrace and enjoying the landscape around you.

A LANDSCAPE TO ENJOY, INSIDE AND OUT

The river and mountain views are part of everyday life at Nes. Large windows frame the surroundings, bringing the changing light into the kitchen and living room.

Enjoy your morning coffee with a view, watch the weather move across the landscape or settle in with a book after a day outdoors. Even when you choose to stay inside, nature remains close.

For guests who enjoy walking, the surrounding countryside offers plenty of reasons to bring your hiking shoes. Choose outings to suit your group, the season and the conditions, and leave time to enjoy the setting around the house.

YOUR PRIVATE HOT TUB WITH A VIEW

Step onto the wraparound terrace and slow down.

The private hot tub is a welcoming place to relax after a walk or a day on the road. An outdoor shower beside the guesthouse is convenient before a soak.

Fire up the barbecue, enjoy a meal outside or settle into the outdoor seating and take in the surroundings. In summer, the long evening light gives you more time to enjoy the terrace. During the darker months, clear skies and the right aurora conditions may bring the northern lights into view.

TOGETHER, WITH SPACE FOR PRIVACY

The separate guest house adds flexibility for families and friends travelling together. With a double bed and its own toilet facilities, it offers a little separation from the main house while keeping everyone part of the same stay.

Gather in the main house for meals and conversation, then retreat to your own sleeping space at the end of the evening.

The main bathroom has a spacious shower, a generous countertop and a heated towel rail. The outdoor shower is an additional feature, separate from the indoor bathroom.

DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND CONNECTION

Designed by Icelandic architect Guðfinna Thordarson, Nes combines open living spaces and expansive windows with natural stone floors and carefully considered lighting.

Underfloor heating keeps the house welcoming through the colder months. Return from a crisp day outdoors, take off your walking boots and settle into the warmth.

The open kitchen and living area make it easy to spend time together, whether you are preparing dinner, watching a film or planning tomorrow’s outing.

A KITCHEN MADE FOR SHARING

The large kitchen island is a natural gathering place. There is room to prepare meals together, with quality equipment for cooking and baking and tableware for your group.

Take your time over breakfast before heading out, or pick up ingredients for a relaxed dinner at home. A dishwasher makes clearing up easier, while Wi-Fi and a washing machine add practical comfort throughout your stay.

DISCOVER BORGARFJÖRÐUR

Give yourself time to explore the region around Nes.

Visit the volcanic scenery of Grábrók, discover Hraunfossar waterfall and nearby Barnafoss, or see the steaming geothermal waters at Deildartunguhver. Historic Reykholt offers another side of Borgarfjörður, connecting the landscape with Iceland’s past.

Choose a few stops for a leisurely day out, or spend more of the day walking. Staying in one place lets you adapt your plans to the weather and enjoy the region without packing up each morning.

MAKE A DAY OF SNÆFELLSNES

Set aside a full day for the Snæfellsnes peninsula, with its fishing villages, rugged coastline and the landscapes of Snæfellsjökull National Park.

The journey offers plenty of reasons to stop, so choose a route that suits your interests rather than trying to see everything at once. Afterwards, return to your own kitchen, comfortable living room and private hot tub at Nes.

BORGARNES FOR CAFÉS, DINING AND SUPPLIES

Visit Borgarnes for groceries, shops, cafés, restaurants and museums. Enjoy a meal out or pick up something for the barbecue before returning to the countryside.

Nes gives you a base for both exploring West Iceland and enjoying the quieter moments between adventures.
