Luxury, Modern, Amazing River/Mountain view with Hot Tub. Winter/Summer Holiday
Víðines is a perfect base for your Icelandic holiday. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsnes National Park, visit a natural hot spring like Deildartunguhver, or amazing waterfall like Hraunfossar. Other interesting places to visit are, the active volcano Grábrók, the crater Eldborg, historical viking landmark Reykholt, and the Ice tunnel in 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 Víðines 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. Did I mention that this house is in a fantastic Nature Hiking Paradise...

The kitchen has all necessary tableware and high quality equipment for cooking and baking. The living room has floor to ceiling windows and an amazing view. Even if you are inside it feels like you are still completely connected to nature. The bathroom is spacious with a large countertop, a large shower room and a warm towel rack.

The guest house has a double bed and a bathroom with a towel rack. Beside the guest house is an outside shower, perfect to use before entering the hot tub.
The design of the house is outstanding and well thought out. It has floor to ceiling windows, open space, hardwood floor, natural stone tiles, designed lighting and with one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly floor heating systems installed in houses today. The heating system is perfect and we can guarantee you a warm and cozy house in the winter time. The house is designed by one of our greatest architects, Guðfinna Thordarson, that has also designed many other modern houses in Iceland.
On the large patio surrounding the house is a nice hot tub that fits up to 7 people, outdoor shower, barbecue grill and comfortable outdoor seating. The patio is perfect for making a good meal and relaxing in the peaceful environment.

Very clean and organized. Amazing view and private. Great back yard area walk to river.Nice thngs to see in the area. Host good communication . Detailed directions but google map not work to house. Need use host instructions to get to house
We had a great stay at Nes! The house was spotless and we appreciated all the amenities, such as the hot tub and fireplace. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and stocked with plenty of towels and essentials like shampoo/conditioner. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, good knives and other cooking utensils, and spices. We saw the northern lights several times from the spacious deck which also has a nice grill for cooking. We would love to stay here again or at one of the host’s other properties.
Great option if you want to stay out of Reykjavik. The nearby waterfalls are beautiful and just a short walk away. There was ample gathering space for our family of 5 with everyone getting their own room. Hot tub was lovely.
Incredibly beautiful, clean, well-kept home in a stunning location. We stayed a few days in October and the home was so lovely. The owners were incredibly communicative and helped us troubleshoot an issue, even late at night. Couldn’t ask for more. We would 100% come back and appreciate the opportunity to stay in their beautiful property.
We had the most incredible time at this beautiful home! Heidi was extremely responsive and so helpful. The home exceeded our expectations and it was the perfect place for us to explore Iceland from. I look forward to being able to return someday to this amazing place!
This was a beautiful property, and all that we hoped for in our visit. The hosts were incredibly helpful too. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place in nature and a place to relax.

Thank you and welcome back. Sincerely Heidi and Rob
Amazing property - beautiful remote location - very well equipped and warm in minus 18 weather. Hot tub fantastic and the sharpest knives of any holiday let!
We had the most incredible stay as the house is absolutely gorgeous and had all the accommodations needed for an amazing stay! We will definitely be back in the future!
The house is beautiful with windows everywhere to help enjoy the amazing setting! Everything was extremely clean and very well taken care of. The kitchen was fully stocked. The outdoor shower (with heat lamp) was a treat each morning; and the hottub was awesome in the later afternoon. We used this spot to explore western iceland and it worked perfectly. Getting to the house was a little bit confusing- but only because of our unfamiliarity. If you just follow the direction as given, it is totally fool proof. Also, there is a river about 100 yards from the house which was a very nice surprise to us. Highly recommend this place!!!
We loved it. Beautifully appointed property. Super comfortable beds - lovely location right on the river and within walking distance of Gianni waterfall. The hot tub was a perfect place to relax! Thanks for everything.
We loved everything about the house. The owners were so friendly and responsive. The house is amazing, the hot tub was amazing, everything was just perfect.
Lovely home and well equipped for a group. Hiking everywhere and quiet. Host is wonderful about giving information and suggestions. Very easy to communicate with-great holiday.
We spent almost a week here and absolutely loved it. There were plenty of interesting spot withing driving distance. Some walking. Spent almost every night in the hot tub. Everything we needed was there and the owner was always responsive to questions.
Our expectations were already very high prior to arriving, but this property and locations vastly exceeded our expectations. Can’t wait to come back in the future!!
Very nice, extra clean and comfortable house. Great views and location.
We had a great time in this very nice, extra clean and comfortable house. The location and views are just fantastic. The house was exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed lighting the fireplace every evening. Communicating with Heidrun was always easy and a pleasure.

That´s just lovely Anne, thank you for this wonderful review. We are so happy to hear you had such a good experience staying in our house. It really is nice cozying up by that fireplace, especially when the northern lights are on display right outside the skylight. We hope to have you visit again,
Sincerely,
Heidi and Rob
This is our third time in Iceland & we have stayed in a different part each time. I have to say that this location is ideal for getting to the north & the peninsula. The house is in a quiet location & it has everything you need. Everything is in great working order & it’s clean & homey. The communication with the owner is excellent & they have very thorough house instructions that I appreciate. I would gladly stay here again & I highly recommend it to others.
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Good communication with the host. Very responsive. I highly recommend this venue
We would definitely return

About the host
Hosted by Heiðrún Hafliðadóttir
We have been building up our Vacation rental business in the last few years and now we have 8 amazing modern Vacation rentals located in the West and South of Iceland.
Our goal is to offer our guests the perfect private holiday home to relax, to enjoy the surrounding nature and views and to have a good base to explore our beautiful country.
All of our houses have a hot tub and everything a cozy and comfortable home needs and are available all year round. We welcome you whether you want to visit during winter to view the Northern Lights or during summer when the nights are bright.
Our houses are different in size, style and location so everyone should be able to find the perfect house for their group to stay at. So whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends, one of our rentals could be the right one for you.
Why they chose this property
It is such a nice holiday home, the house itself and the nature around it caught our attention. We love staying in Víðines and now we offer others to stay in our house and enjoy all it has to offer. The short distance to the town Borgarnes, where you can find all necessities, and to the Capital Reykjavík, is a very big advantage.
What makes this property unique
Peacefulness - You can sit outside or walk around the house and enjoy the nature and the amazing Mountain View in the peaceful surroundings.
High Standard and modern – All the equipment in the house is high standard and you should find everything you need and more. The open space and the large windows give you the feeling that you are out in the nature even when you are inside.
Location - The location of the house is ideal for exploring the west side of Iceland. There are short driving distances to many beautiful places in the nature such as waterfalls and craters. Museums and historical places are also nearby. There is only a 30 minutes drive to the nearest town, Borgarnes, where you can find for example a swimming pool, golf course, shops, bakery, restaurants, library and health care. A big advantage is the fact that many beautiful nature phenomenon are within walking distance.
