Great Location, Great Stay

I stayed here with my wife and adult children for part of our Iceland vacation. House was in great location for visits to the Golden Circle and we all enjoyed our stay. Check-in and check-out were easy, amenities were as described and communication from host was prompt. We would differently stay again if we visit in the future.

Lovely home, with great location

We stayed here for several days. The house was exactly as described. Lots of kitchen items and a wonderful coffee, so pick up some beans on your shopping trip. There was a slight issue with the water when we checked in however the host had provided his number to call. He was immediately available and have great instructions on how to correct the issue. Smooth checking, great communication, looking forward to staying at their properties more.

Perfect spot

Beautiful property about 20 minutes away from Selfoss. Fully equipped kitchen, heated floors, and enough space for a group or family. Thorsteinn was very quick with communication and very patient with our questions. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights during our stay and will always have fond memories of Iceland!

Christmas in Iceland

Our family braved the cold and spent a week in Iceland over Christmas. The property couldn’t have been better. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, steam sauna, cooking in the beautiful kitchen and the proximity to wonderful sights close by. It was a vacation to remember! If I could give more than five stars I would!

Awesome Property and Location, perfect for exploring southern Iceland and light viewing!

Awesome, great location in a 'neighborhood' not too desolate, but sparse enough for excellent viewing right on property on walkable in the neighborhood in all directions. Excellent property itself, and really close to Selfoss for food, drinks, etc. Excellent experience and hope to be back!

Perfect location

Great time for our first trip to Iceland! Our family of 4, 2 college age sons, enjoyed a week of sightseeing and relaxation over the winter break. Grund was located perfectly for us to do short day trips up and down the southern part of Iceland during the short days. We didn’t use the hot tub or sauna because the snow was too deep around it but didn’t miss it at all. We were lucky to see several nights of northern lights with a spectacular display on New Year’s Eve. It is a great house ,location and host. Thanks for a wonderful visit!

Great spot for getting to all destinations on the golden circle

The property is huge and can sleep a huge group comfortably. We had 11 people and there were more than enough accommodations. The house had an issue with the hot water during our stay but the owners worked on getting it fixed and gave us a partial refund because of it. A little hard to find at first and I suggest dropping a pin on your map after you find it.

About the host

Host profile image
We have been involved in tourism for more than 20 years.

Why they chose this property

We built this house 2008. Grund is located in the heart of the popular Golden Circle. Close to Reykjavik, the capital and very short to get service at Selfoss and Hveragerdi. A lot of things to see and do in the neighborhood but also an excellent place to do just nothing but relax and enjoy the nature.

What makes this property unique

The size and quality of Grund and the location makes it unique.
