Great Home For Golden Circle & South Iceland
This wonderful home has it all. It is centrally located to all the wonderful attractions in the South Coast. Very spacious, but warm and inviting. The gourmet kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was very relaxing after a day of hiking. We were able to see a wonderful Northern Lights display with the wide open land around us. Would recommend and would stay here again on another trip to Iceland.

Simply Wonderful
The house was beautiful and clean. Our host met us the evening we arrived and was very welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook just about anything. The hot tub was wonderful! We were lucky to see the northern lights one night from the house. The views from the house are stunning! If this is available do not pass it up! It was worth everything we paid for and more!

Excellent home base to see Iceland’s Southern Coast
My three adult children and I thoroughly enjoy our time in this lovely home that had plenty of space for us to spread out. Located a few minutes drive outside the town of Selfoss this was a peaceful home base for us as we explored Iceland’s southern coast and made the most of the extended daylight. House is well stocked and listing is accurate. The town of Selfoss had everything we needed from grocery stores to stock up on food for our hiking explorations to wonderful restaurants, banks and small shops. Communication was great and check In instructions were helpful and easy to follow. Highly recommend this place!

Best decision we could have made for visiting Iceland!
This was a beautiful property in the perfect location! It was spotless and very thoughtfully equipped. For instance bathrobes- very useful when using the hotpot! Beautiful views out of every window. Especially loved seeing the horses every morning. Well equipped kitchen. The grill was super useful. We enjoyed touring and hiking all day and coming “home” to such a relaxing house. Highly recommend!
