We really enjoyed this place! The river next to the cabin was beautiful, and even though it’s remote, the views of the stars and the aurora was amazing. Highly recommend!
We loved this place, it was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, beautiful views, cozy and the hot tub was incredible. We even saw the Northern lights one of the nights around 12:30am
Great location to see everything in the south❤️
Amazing location with wonderful view, lots of space in the house and simply a nice spot. Especially if you'd like to travel around in(to) the highlands.
The cabin was nicely located near a beautiful river and reasonably close to many of the sights. The jacuzzi was much appreciated. We used the bbq every day. The beds could be more comfortable. Overall a wonderful stay.

Fantastic scenery,quiet location,relaxing, great hottub. Home from home, everything you need. Warm & cosy. If u love tranquility this is the place for you. Nice walks by the river. Missed microwave.
This is a well equipped place, snug and rustic. It's a 2-3 minute walk down to the river which was lovely.
The drive from the main road was longer than we expected (30 min) but ultimately it is in a good location to reach many south Iceland sights.
Communication with the owner was excellent, he responded right away to all questions.
I would definitely recommend this place.
Wonderful place we stayed for a week in January 2023. Beautiful walks by the property, with stunning snowy mountain 360 views, and a lovely river at the back. If you like nature and seclusion this is the place for you.
The cabin is well maintained, clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed for self catering and well stocked as it's treated as a home, includes good access to Wifi, a lovely hot tub outside.
Thor the owner was fantastic checking in and checking out and helping to sort out an issue we had with the water due to the minus temperatures. Thor's communication was excellent.
If you come in the winter you will definitely need a 4x4 car to navigate the local road and the path to the property.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin and will miss the lovely peaceful views.

Tolle Lage, phantastischer Whirlpool, gute Ausstattung
Idyllisch und ruhig gelegene Holzhütte an einem Fluss, ca. 30 Min von der Ringstrasse und ca. 1 1/2 Std. entfernt von Reykjavik. Alles vorhanden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Kontakt mit Vermieter lief super( auch auf deutsch), er hat sich trotz Feiertage wegen einem größeren Sanitärproblem gekümmert und war stets für uns auch telefonisch zu erreichen. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen!!! Danke
