Amazing Stay

This was an amazing place to stay! We loved all the little extras like robes for the hot tub, Nespresso machine, and hot chocolate. The place felt so cozy and had a country cottage feel. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights for about 2 hours one of our nights. We highly recommended this property, you won’t be disappointed!

Great little home with a fantastic view

The home was great, well suited for me and my husband, our two teens and their friends. Hottub was great to use, over looking the lake. Cleaning was 1.5 hours past check in so we had to leave and come back, but it gave us an opportunity to get groceries. Host wasn’t easy to get ahold of, but was very pleasant and willing to assist where needed. Overall very much enjoyed our stay here, location was perfect for everything we wanted to do.

Cozy home. Great location. The hot tub was amazing. Kitchen was easy to use. The space worked for our group of 4 but would have been tight for more people. Two of the bedrooms were quite small without a lot of storage so we used the spare bedroom for storage.

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy and comfortable home immensely. It is in a beautiful, peaceful setting yet only 15- 20 minutes to stores and restaurants in Selfoss or Hveragardi. Everything was very clean and we appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. Check in was very simple and the property wasn't hard to find at all. It was our favorite place we stayed during our time in Iceland.

Wonderful Stay

This was our 4th trip to Iceland but the first with our two girls. Our host was fantastic and the accommodations were perfect. The view is one of a kind and breathtaking. A great location that is central to explore much of southern Iceland. Would highly recommend :)

Fab family getaway

Such a great base for exploring Iceland - we went in a different direction every day. Having Selfoss so close was very handy, the food hall and ice cream parlour are worth a visit. Coming back to the cosy, well equipped lodge and the hot tub was bliss after a long (and cold!) day of exploring.

This cabin was super cozy and was perfect for our group of six. The view was gorgeous and we loved how secluded the location felt. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub, and we even got to see the northern lights from the deck! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect, magical stay

An absolutely stunning property with a fabulous view. Located very privately but still only 10 mins drive from Selfoss. The views, hot tub, size of the property and amenities were perfect. Instructions and communication from the host were very clear. We all had a magical time and would love to come back again one day.

Amazing Experience

We had such a wonderful stay. The accommodation was excellent and very well furnished and stocked. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The hot tub and views were just amazing. We were very lucky and managed to see the Northern lights three times during our stay and they were visible from the property. The Kerid Crater is a short drive away and free parking so is another good spot to view the lights. Enjoying the hot tub whilst watching the lights is an experience we will never forget. Geysir would have to be a highlight and we also visited four spectacular waterfalls and the black sand beach at Reynisfjara. I really wished we could stay longer!

Best view from a hot tub you can get!

Fantastic place to stay to explore the golden circle. The house has stunning views from the back deck and hot tub - which was so nice to use during our stay. We were in the hot tub every evening to relax after a day of exploring the area. The same views can be seen from the kitchen and living room inside - which are just stunning! The house was super private, and had woods and greenery all around, and was so peaceful. We cooked every day, and found everything we needed to make great meals, and having a dishwasher is a plus (mandatory for us). The host was great at communciation, and the house was super clean when we arrived, and had towels and robes for the hot tub - which was a nice touch. In addition there is a fancy coffee machine, so had great coffee each morning. The beds are really comfy, and the bedrooms had dark shades to help with sleeping while light outside. Overall great stay!

Wonderful stay

We loved this home. It was our best stay while in Iceland. The house was a perfect size for our family of 4. The master was spacious and the comforter/ linens were nice. We enjoyed the hot tub. The best luxury extras were the clean robes for use. We would highly recommend. It is a little off the beaten path but convenient to all the attractions in the area.
