Do you want to experience living in a tiny house without fully committing? The urbane Svartaborg tiny house might be the perfect option to do so. Situated in the stunning mountainous region of Húsavík, Iceland, the tiny house is designed by the owners, Rósa and Snæbjörn, as a peaceful Nordic retreat. Currently operating as an Airbnb, the Svartaborg tiny house has a unique, luxurious feel. Not to mention, the exquisite backdrop, perfect for day trips or gazing at Northern Lights with your loved ones. Imagine all the beautiful memories you will be creating here during your stay.
The owners of this tiny house wanted a quiet place in the lap of nature to get away and start a new life with their children. This valley fulfilled the dream, and now it nestles the Svartaborg tiny house, welcoming people to savor the same quiet and the wonders of nature away from the city crowd. The dwelling has a patio with comfy seating, facing the sprawling Nordic landscape, where you can catch the sunrise and sunset and lose track of time.
The striking black façade blends in with the surroundings and looks one with the landscape. The expansive glazing mirrors the verdant beauty of nature and fills the interior with gentle sunlight. If you arrive here in winter, you can take a dip in the hot tub and sip on some delicious native wine to relax.
Inside, you can take it slow and savor each moment of tiny living. Lounge on the pull-out sofa bed in the living room, accompanied by a coffee table and an armchair. A warm rug adds warmth, making the space feel like home. The living room is a perfect spot to take a nap or admire the gorgeous outdoor views flooding in from expansive glazing.
Adjacent is the well-appointed kitchen with modern appliances like a cooktop, freezer, dishwasher, oven, coffee maker, and toaster, etc. The cooking basics like pots and pans, crockery, and cutlery are also stocked for your use. The countertop space is very generous for prepping large or small meals. There is also a breakfast bar with two barstools for enjoying scrumptious home-cooked food.
But if there are more people to be seated, a more spacious table will be required. No worries, there’s a complete dining setup across the kitchen. The table seats four for an intimate dining experience against a lush backdrop. Sleep should always be prioritized, no matter where you spend your vacation, and the bedroom of this tiny house doesn’t disappoint. Stepping in feels like stepping into a cocoon.
The bedroom is cozy, quiet, and comfy with a double bed, hanging lights, a wardrobe, plants, a TV, and a big window, letting you wake up fully rested, fresh, and ready for the day ahead. Not to mention, the colorful views from each window look like a painting, making you even more excited and eager to get out of bed.
If you are a workaholic even on your vacation, a designated workspace in the room gives your creative ideas a space to thrive. Who knows? You might find some inspiration for your project from the breathtaking views.
