Thorsteinn and Bjargey purchased this House in 2008
We built this house 2008. Grund is located in the heart of the popular Golden Circle. Close to Reykjavik, the capital and very short to get service at Selfoss and Hveragerdi. A lot of things to see and do in the neighborhood but also an excellent place to do just nothing but relax and enjoy the nature.
The size and quality of Grund and the location makes it unique.

We had a wonderful stay with Thorsteinn! It was spacious, well equipped, clean, safe and absolutely the perfect place for my family to spend the holidays (and my 60th birthday). It was the perfect location for us to see the Northern lights, and we did, on my birthday! Not sure how he arranged that but I'm forever grateful. Everything we could want was there and more! The hot tub was lovely and the perfect setting to await what the sky might bring each night. The home was lovely and provided us all the comforts we could hope for to celebrate the holidays in Iceland, memories that will be with us for a lifetime. Again, it was all we could want and more.
The home was everything we imagined it would be and more! Very spacious and inviting with every convenience one could need on vacation to relax with family and friends. We enjoyed the remote location of the home as well as easy access to nearby shopping, gas, and all the sights you journey to visit in Southern Iceland. Highly recommend!
Overall, this house is a great place to stay if you want to see Southern Iceland and the Golden Circle.
Lovely and warm with a big open fire. Showers and bathroom areas great. Very comfy beds. Kitchen very well equipped.
Sadly, when we arrived in the cold and dark there was no gas so my husband had to drive to Selfoss to buy a gas cylinder which didn’t make for a good start.
There were no logs for the fire either, so we had to purchase these too.I think it would be a nice touch if the fire could be made up ready along with a box of matches for guests when they arrive, especially on a cold, dark winters evening.
Overall though, this was a great place to stay to stay for 8 of us to celebrate my 60th Birthday.
The owner was always quick to respond to my emails and very helpful with my questions.
Just sort the gas and firewood, and I would give this property a huge 10!
Don’t hesitate to book, it was great!
Dear Lesley,
Thank you for the review. I agree it was an accodent re the gas. We always have a spare one so this has not happened before and hopefully not again.
Good idea re the fire log, we will for sure take that into consideration for our Winter guests.
Best regards
Thorsteinn
Property is very well equipped and is like home from home
Also well positioned for the golden circle sights
The owners were very helpful when we needed help with anything and was quick to respond to e mails
The only criticism I would have is that the house could have been warmer , we spoke to the owners who helped us out with the thermostat but this didn’t seem to make too much difference to the overall temperature . We should have got logs for the fire but struggled to find any in the shops so we got duraflame which is not as effective.
Also the guest house ,although very snug needs an upgrade on the mattress or at least a mattress topper similar to the ones in the house and a shower would be perfect . An additional shower would be helpful in the house as 1 shower for 10 people takes a lot of organising
The hot tub was amazing and the house overall was great , just a few niggles that’s all .
Very nicely decorated, clean, modern home. Our stay was great and exactly like the pictures show. If we were ever to make it back to Iceland we would stay here again!
This house was a perfect vacation home for us. The layout was great. Selfoss is only a short drive away for food and supplies. It’s a really nice town. If you like hiking, there are several nice hikes in the area including the two mountains that are constantly in your view through the windows that fill the house . We used this place as a base to explore the golden circle as well as make trips as far south as a Vik. There is so much to see in this area.
Don’t try to do too much when you are visiting Iceland. Take some time in your travels and stop and enjoy the views. Every single mile along every single road had something new and magnificent to see. Iceland is a very special place and this house gives you great access to so many activities.
The house is located only 50 minutes drive from Reykjavik in a quiet area close to lake Thingvallavatn, a part of the golden circle (one of the must see places in Iceland). Its closest village Selfoss is appox 15 min driving with all services needed. Excellent hiking all around and only 20 min drive from lake Laugarvatn. Geysir and Gullfoss two of most visited sights are not far. Two good 18 hole golf courses 7 km (Öndverdarnes) and 13 km (Kidjaberg) away.
