Incredible house, amazing views, great location

This is an incredible house with stunning views. We spent every night gathered around the kitchen table enjoying home cooked meals before enjoying the Northern Lights from the warmth of the hot tub surrounded by a gorgeous snowy landscape. The location is excellent for exploring the South Coast, from Selfoss to the Golden Circle to Vik. The neighboring towns have some good spots to eat, with friendly people throughout willing to make a local suggestion. All in all a perfect base for a special trip in Iceland. Would return for a visit any time! Note: Although the listing says Selfoss, the house is actually about 30-40 minutes outside of Selfoss, and about 90 minutes from Reykjavik. Not a big deal at all but something to be aware of when planning your trip.

Incredible Property in Iceland

Everything about our stay in Iceland was perfect. The house was great and ideal for us wanting to stay in the countryside and be able to venture out and see Iceland during the day. We were able to explore the area and come home at night to a great home to stay in. One of the nights we were able to enjoy the Northern Lights from the Hot Tub on the deck. It was truly all we could ask for.

Perfect Place to Stay

Our family chose this house due to its proximity to the Golden Circle and the fact it was a bit off the grid - it did not disappoint. Modern home with gorgeous views, and a very helpful host to answer any questions. Loved the hot tub, heated floors and view from the deck. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay and would highly recommend this home.

Couldn’t Have Picked a Better Place!

7 of us stayed here and we all loved the property. It looked exactly like the posting, was clean, and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, or hang out in the same room when we wanted. The location was great, rural, but still within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. Using the hot tub every night was wonderful and we even got to see the Northern Lights!
