The home is beautifully situated, spacious, and well equipped. The host was very accommodating and provided a crib and high chair for us to use for our little one. Soaking in the hot tub with a view of the mountains was an incredible way to unwind after a day of hiking. We highly recommend staying here! ##### Maliha M.

The location is perfect for a variety of day trips. The place is very clean and very comfortable. The host was on the ball the entire time. Took a day to understand the radiant heating system but we figured it out. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others ##### Aaron S. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael G. 20 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### In the Center of it All What a beautiful property close to the Golden Circle sites and near Selfoss, which has all the accommodations for food, shopping, etc. Easy check-in, helpful host, and a really awesome house on the lake. Made our first few days of traveling a great experience with a relaxing hot tub to boot. Highly recommended. ##### Michael G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica T. 27 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful setting and all the amenities Our stay in Iceland was perfect. The rental was clean and spacious. It had everything we needed and was very convenient to attractions along the Golden Circle. The view of the lake and mountains was amazing. We really enjoyed soaking in the hot tub every evening. ##### Jessica T.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the hot tub was a perfect end to long days exploring the gorgeous countryside! There was nothing negative about the property or the owner. We really appreciated the request to shower before and after the hot tub🙂. ##### Julie K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful House! We recently stayed in the Lake Palace property for 3 nights in the middle of July and toured the Golden Circle area. The house was well appointed and met all of our needs for 6 adults. The view is outstanding of the lake! The hot tub is a bonus and very relaxing after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. I would highly recommend this place to stay! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee H. 25 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous view, easy location We spent a week here, meeting up with friends at another house for daily excursions. It was so hard to leave the house, though! Sitting around with that beautiful lake view was too perfect. In June, non-biting midges swarmed outside. With only one bathroom, it would be contentious if you had 2 people in every bedroom. But Selfoss was close enough for necessities, and it's a short drive to all of the Golden Circle sites. ##### Lee H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim S. 1 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A week of Icelandic Bliss This property exceeded our expectations. So much space, warmth and well equipped. Separate rooms for our teenagers and downstairs or upstairs rooms for adults. The setting is mind blowing. Such beautiful views across the lake to the distant mountains. We loved the hot tub and had everything we needed to really get away from it all for a week. Also well placed for the Golden Circle. Highly recommended! ##### Tim S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark H. 27 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing home on the lake This was our second trip to Iceland, and we have stayed at four vacation rentals there. The Lake Palace Úlfljótsvatn was the best of the four, and it would be hard to beat this home for how comfortable and beautiful it is and its amazing view of the lake and hills, its privacy, easy access and closeness to the Golden Circle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there--preparing and cooking most of our meals there and relaxing in the comfortable living room with the amazing views. The beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was great after a day of touring the country. The host was very helpful and easy to reach but stayed away to give us our privacy. We may someday go again to Iceland, and if we stay in this area again, we will definitely want to stay again in this beautiful home. ##### Mark H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James A. 12 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Iceland Paradise The Lake Palace Úlfljótsvatn, just 20 min north of Selfoss is an amazing property, one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed at. We were a family of four but there were also three more single beds in the loft upstairs. We loved the all wood interior, comfy beds, couches, dining room, deck, fully stocked kitchen, heated floors, a large deck facing the lake as well as a very well kept and clean Hot Spring brand hot tub. Everything was easy from start to finish, we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away for some peace and quite. ##### James A.
