This property was ideally located and very comfortable for my family. It had excellent views from all sides. The hot tub was convenient, and we enjoyed watching movies as a family on the projector, which was an added bonus. It was a very easy 15 or 20 minute drive to the nearest town, so we were able to stay stocked up on groceries or anything else we need needed. Everything about check-in and checkout was easy, and there was a detailed house guide readily available.

Amazing cabin in a great, central location to sights along the Golden Circle and Southern Coast. We loved the views from the cabin windows and the well-stocked kitchen. Having a laundry machine was incredibly convenient as well. The host was very responsive when we had technical issues with the projector. Overall a fantastic stay!

A great cottage in a great location

We had a great time at this house - it was convenient to Reykjavic, Golden Circle, Inside the Volcano, Reykjadalur hike, Selfoss and more. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals and we loved the hot tub after long days hiking and exploring the area.
