Við Lónið Guesthouse is a charming accommodation nestled in the picturesque town of Seyðisfjörður in East Iceland. It offers a picturesque setting with breathtaking views of the majestic mountains, the vibrant Rainbow Street, and the charming old houses.

Built in 1907 by Tryggvi Gudmundsson, this guesthouse is a piece of history. Originally imported from Norway as a ready-made kit house, it has played various roles over the years, from a family home an art studio, home decor store, and even the town's first diner serving burgers and fries. Today, they proudly continue the legacy as a family-run business, restoring the house to its early 19th-century charm while adding modern improvements.

Situated in Seyðisfjörður, the guesthouse allows easy access to the town's unique attractions, including its colorful wooden houses, charming harbor, and vibrant art scene. You can explore the town's cultural offerings, visit local art galleries, and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in the surrounding nature.
