Absolutely wonderful experience at this location! The host was very attentive and was always available to answer any questions and was able to accommodate us with an additional day at the last minute. Coming in after a long day seeing the sights and hiking, we would head to the peaceful setting of the hot tub to finish off the day. Would highly recommend!

A Wonderful house with lots of space for all of us. We enjoyed the hot tub and walking paths right from the house. The geothermal activity is fascinating and a waterfall too! The landscape is dramatic with steam drifting on the mountain side.

Very close to so many beautiful locations as well as shopping and wonderful restaurants. We were very happy with this home and the hosts. They are very responsive and answer messages quickly. If I am ever back in Iceland, I would not hesitate to book this fantastic home.

Great location, amenities

Our party of 7 including 3 small kids stayed here for 5 days and did day trips to Golden Circle, South Coast and Reykjavík. Perfect location from everything. We also swam at the Selfoss city pool which the kids loved. We shopped at the local Bonus for groceries and fixed all our meals to save time and money. We loved the hot tub at the house! Highly recommend. Host was very responsive!

Lovely, spacious and comfortable home with a beautiful view and nice hot tub!

Kristin was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The home itself had anything and everything needed including a nice size washer and dryer with detergent provided which was really nice on our long trip. The view was stunning and the home was very spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Amazing!

This place was amazing! We had 7 adults and everyone had plenty of room (it could easily accommodate more). I loved the open floor concept so the people cooking could still watch TV and interact with the group. We saw the northern lights twice, both from the hot tub in the middle of the night. The rest of the time the weather didn’t cooperate. The host was amazing and even let us check in a little early. I definitely recommend this place!

Amazing Home

I cannot say enough good things about this property. It has a wonderful location. We were close enough to town to enjoy restaurants and grocery stores, but remote enough to go hiking from the yard and enjoy nature. It was clean, well-appointed, and Kristin the owner, was wonderful. The drive to the national park and the crater wasn’t long at all. We experienced a lot of rain during our stay which made the sights difficult, however it was great to come home to a warm home at the end of the day. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it.

A fantastic Family holiday!

Approached the house with excitement and it was just beautiful. The scenery from the house and the surroundings were lovely. The rooms were done up well and with taste. We felt home to home immediately. Cannot fault anything. there was a lot of information for local visits, well equipped kitchen (well impressed!) and games/books you name it. After a lousy previous experience with VRBO house this place has really restored our faith back! Highly recommend this place...

We had the best time at Kristin's home in Hveragerði! The home was absolutely beautiful- the views from the kitchen/living room were absolutely stunning. We traveled with my parents who are in the late 70s/early 80s and the house was perfectly laid out both in terms of giving us separate spaces, and also for my mother who has a disability. So much ease of access to all rooms, to the beautiful patio, and also to the shower! The location couldn't be more perfect- we were able to see all of the south of Iceland, easily with in a 30 minute to 1.5 hour drive, depending on our destination. We loved being close to Reykjavik (it took about 40 minutes to get there), but really loved our little town more. So much to do in all directions, and so much peace at the end of the day. It could not have been a better stay. Kristin is also a very easily accessible, helpful host. Thank you so much!

Perfect Home-Base to Explorer Southwest Iceland

Our 9-person family had a wonderful stay in Kristin's beautiful riverside home. It was well furnished with everything we needed. The location -- on a quiet street just north of Hvergerdi town and adjacent to several outstanding walking trails -- and beautiful views of the river were highlights. We also used the hot tub several times at the end of our day trips around Iceland. Hvergerdi is an ideal location to base yourself for day trips across the amazing sights in Southwest Iceland. For example: 1 hr drive to Geysir / Thingvellir, 40 min to Reykjavik, 2 hours to South Coast sights, 3 hours to Snaefellsness, 4 hours to Glacier Lagoon / Diamond Beach. Kristin was readily available to help with our questions and needs. An outstanding property and outstanding host!

A+

This house is all that its very friendly and helpful owner, Kristín, promises—and more! We (four adults and four kids) stayed there for a week in late October, and we couldn’t have had a better time. The house is a lot more spacious than it looks from the outside; the through-the-floor heating keeps it nice and warm; the many large windows are well insulated; the kitchen and bathrooms are state-of-the-art; and enough extra mattresses, comforters, pillows, and sheets are available to adjust sleeping arrangements as needed. There are plenty of guidebooks and other books, magazines, games, and toys to keep everyone happy during a long fall (or winter) evening, and the terrace, which wraps around the house, is ideal for the summer. Kristín gave us helpful travel tips and spot-on driving directions prior to our arrival, and as soon as we got there, she offered even more advice. The house is beautifully and very conveniently located. An Olympic-size geothermal pool is just down the road, and the major sights of southwestern Iceland (Þingvellir and Lake Þingvallavatn, Laugarvatn, Geysir, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, the Mýrdalsjökull and Sólheimajökull glaciers, the black beach of Vík í Mýrdal) are all just a couple of hours’ drive away. You can be in downtown Reykjavík in forty-five minutes. Hveragerði itself is quite lovely and has everything we needed—a Bónus supermarket, a bakery, a gas station, a Vínbúð. A larger supermarket is one town over, in Selfoss. We couldn’t recommend this vacation rental more!

Great location and good size house

We chose this house for the size and proximity to specific sites we wanted to visit. The house had many extras that made it feel like home. The location of the home was perfect. It was central to the area we wanted to visit, from Vik to Reykjavik to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano to the Gulfoss Waterfall. There's also a grocery store in town to grab snacks for the drive or purchase food to fix at the house. Don't forget about the bakery. It opens early and is a nice treat, as well.

Fantastic house, perfect location

I wanted to find a house for the week for my family to explore Iceland outside of Reykjavik. Hveragerdi was the perfect location as it is only 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavik, and right in the middle of the golden circle. It was also just under a 2-hour drive to Vik and all that little town has to offer. The house met all of our expectations, was comfortable, and extremely private. Hveragerdi is also a nice little town with plenty of restaurants and the new "Greenhouse" that has shops, food, and drinks. Kristin was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions.
