Other interesting places to visit are, the active volcano Grábrók, the crater Eldborg, historical viking landmark Reykholt, and taking a walk into the glacier Langjökull. You can stroll through the nearby cozy town of Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the capital Reykjavík with all its glory, nightlife and culture. Make a day trip on the Golden Circle and see the exploding Geysir with all its natural power, and drop by the historic Thingvellir National Park, and view close up the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. In the evenings you will always come back home to this modern architecturally designed house in Helluskógur and the first thing you might do is, relax in the hot tub and enjoy the views or the Northern Lights in the peace and quietness after a memorable day.

Wonderful stay! The home was comfortable with plenty of space. The location was perfect to explore the Snaefelsness area, Borgarnes and Langjokull Glacier. Host was great with communication. We would definitely stay again.
The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The layout of the house is very nice, there were some toys and games for the kids to play with and a separate TV. We enjoyed the hot tub and the overall space available inside. We were lucky to see an amazing Northern Light show on two different nights!
The place was easy to find with directions and was perfect. The boys and my husband used the hot tub, it was clean and worked well. There was a handy outdoor shower. We are a family of 8 and we fit great. There are plenty of dishes and a nice sized kitchen. We would be happy to stay here again, the house was lovely.
This place is beautiful. Has the perfect layout for a small group, great amenities, and is secluded and quiet, while still not too far out of town. Would definitely go back again.
The house is beautiful and exactly as appears in the photos. Four adult friends stayed at this lovely rural location that is wonderful for a quiet and extremely comfortable stay near all of the beauty of west Iceland. The rooms and hot tub were exceptionally clean and in perfect functioning. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything that we needed. The host provided us with exquisite helpful details, communicated promptly when needed, but also gave us complete privacy. We were able to see the Northern Lights several times from the deck! We all agreed that we would be happy to stay there again. :)
Our family spent 2 nights here while we explored the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Location was great, house was very clean and well supplied. Beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was an added bonus after a long day! We would absolutely stay there again.
We had a group of 8 coming from the US. House was great!!! Very clean! Host communicated great before arrival. Had all the necessities plus extras available!
We absolutely loved this house. The land and property were beautiful. The living space was open which helped a lot for our family. The whole family enjoyed the hot tub and sunsets as well. We would love to return one day!
Coming from the US, we were pleasantly surprised to find this home had everything we have at home, making for a comfortable stay. House is spacious, clean and has ample room for 5-6 people. A peaceful setting with tons of privacy, great views too. Host was responsive to any question we had. Would absolutely stay here again and HIGHLY recommend!
We stayed at this property for 4 nights and absolutely loved it. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed, even plastic plates/cups for kids, children's books and the toys for the kids were a really nice touch. The one time I contacted the owners during our stay the response was almost immediate. I would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!
Great property for 6 of us. Prompt responses from property owner when we needed general assistance. Very clean, spacious, nicely equipped with all you wouldnneed
We booked a week in November ‘24 for
my 80th birthday bucket list to see the Aurora. Although weak we did see it several times. Perfect beautiful house and location. Very highly recommend this place. Iceland scenery is a “wow” round every corner!!
My family stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our holiday Iceland trip from the states. The host had great communication and was very prepared with check in and home instructions. The place was very clean and we felt very comfortable during our stay. We only wished we stayed a little longer to be able to see all the sights in the area. Would definitely recommend renting this home for an experience outside of the city.
Plenty of room for 7 adults to spread out. Fantastic windows and comfortable gathering space. New kitchen and appliances making it very easy to prepare meals.
I recently stayed here with a group of 5 adults and one toddler, and we all loved our time in this house. The location feels remote, but is convenient to Borgarnes and is an excellent home base for exploring West Iceland. The house is both modern and very comfortable. Our host was responsive and friendly over messaging. I would certainly stay here again!
We were very comfortable in this beautiful home outside of Borgarnes. Away from the city lights, we were able to relax and enjoy the northern lights from the comfort of the hot tub! The home is in a great location for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and is well appointed with everything we needed! The hosts are very responsive and communicated promptly when I had a question. Would come back and stay in this lovely home!
The house is timelessly modern, clean and very well equipped. It is in a remote location with little light-pollution, ideally to watch northern lights - if there are.
The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with.
We'd love to come back if we have the opportunity!
We went to Iceland to try to catch the Northern Lights and were blessed to have been able to see them from this beautiful home! We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, spacious design, and comfortable furniture! We didn't use the hot tub as we expected to but hit up the (sort of) nearby Krauma hot springs. We really appreciated our AWD with studded tires as the road to the home was very icy on many days. Everything was as expected and advertised. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!
We loved the house! From the design to the amenities and the hosts with high attention to detail everything was great. We were a group of 6 women and used the house as a hub to go out exploring each day. The hot tub was a treat at the end of our daily adventures. Also, the beds and pillows were very comfortable.
Note that one shower is outside, which I may have missed When reserving.
The cooktop was a bit challenging for us so my only suggestion would be to have very detailed instructions like there are for the other household appliances.
That being said, we would return!
Wonderful home in a great location to see many sights in Iceland. The house itself is top notch. Clean, modern, all the amenities and more of home. It was perfect for the family.
Also I want to point out the heated floors and….the outdoor shower. Trust me. It’s a must. The water is perfect, the air is divine.
You really won’t want for anything staying there. The owners make sure you are ready for your stay in Iceland - going well above by providing valuable information and suggestions.
Can’t say enough great things. And if you’re a runner- you’ll thank Iceland everyday for the paths around the place.
We are a group of five friends who planned this trip almost two years ago. We had to pick off season due to our schedules. The weather/wind in Iceland was the worst it has been in 10 years, and we briefly lost power. Our host brought us a generator, coffee, pastries, and kept us updated every step. They checked in on us often and responded immediately to any questions or concerns. They have a very detailed book on property with instructions for everything. The house is amazing and stayed warm even when we didn't have power. It's beautiful, perfectly cozy, and well equipped for all that you could need. The town of Borganes was nearby and we loved being away from the big crowds. I loved Iceland so much, everyone was friendly and the environment is second to none. I can't wait to come back, and I would absolutely choose this host again!
