Hrafnavellir Guest House

Southeast Iceland


Brand new for summer 2018, this row of seven small cabins sits about 25km east of Höfn on a super-peaceful patch of turf. Views look across the river delta, with peaks looming behind. Each cabin offers a modern, hotel-style room with private bathroom and terrace.
