Einarshúsið Guesthouse is in a restored wooden building over a hundred years old. Two of the pioneers of the town lived in this house most part of last century and ran their businesses from there. The house was built in 1902 by Pétur Oddsson who lived there until 1930. During that time he came to great grief as he lost most of his family to tuberculosis and other illnesses. He buried his wife, all his children and some other relatives a total of 14 family members over that period. Einar Guðfinnsson moved into the house several years later and lived there a long and prosperous life with his family during the next decades. When previous owners bought the house in 2004 it was in poor state. They started renovating and bringing the house to its earlier status as one of the most beautiful houses in Bolungarvík. The current owners bought the house in April 2016. Our aim is to provide the best service possible and authentic Icelandic hospitality. In the restaurant/lounge area there are displays about the history of the house its owners.

Amid the mountains of the wild West Fjords lies Bolungarvík, a small fishing village with about 1000 inhabitants. The village is a good base for trips around north of West Fjords. A 2-minute walk from the guesthouse you will find an indoor swimming pool with outdoor hot tubs and waterslide. This is one of the best swimming pools in West Fjords.
