Nest Retreat Iceland - Mirror House by riverbank

We had such a sweet and cozy stay at Nest Retreat. The bed was so comfy, everything was impeccably cleaned, and the space was nice and warm — I’m pretty sure the floors were even heated in the bathroom! We enjoyed the little hot tub outside and the river views made it all the more peaceful . Minimal light pollution so ideal for viewing the Northern Lights. My boyfriend loved the quality coffee machine and I was grateful for a lovely selection of teas. Beautifully designed and very functional, every detail was clearly curated with care. We adored our stay!

We adored our stay!

The Airbnb has been well thought out; it mirrors its surroundings, which are beautiful and peaceful. We watched the northern lights from the hot tub and woke up to the view of the river. An amazing place to stay.

Beautiful and peaceful

This place is SO well thought out. The hot tub and fire pit were soothing after a long day of adventures. The inside of the home is clean and well appointed. The owners have outfitted the home with everything you may need for a great experience. Oh, and we saw the Aurora Borealis! My only regret is not booking it for longer!

We loved our stay at Nest Retreat.

The apartment was modern, luxurious, and impeccably clean. The attention to detail—from the high-end linens to the espresso machine—was impressive. The host clearly takes pride in offering a premium experience. I travel often for work, and this stay easily beats most high-end hotels. Will definitely rebook on my next trip!

Five stars across the board!

We had a wonderful time in Iceland and wanted to recommend our favorite stay, Nest Retreat Iceland . It is in the adorable town of Hella set back along the river. They have two private guest cottages that are well appointed, and very comfortable. The hosts were responsive to any questions we had. As a bonus, you have a private hot tub right outside your door. Highly recommended!
