Perfect place to stay with large family. Location was quiet and well situated for day trips. Had all the amenities we needed for meals in. Hosts were responsive. Gave tons of information ahead of time to help with planning our trip. Highly recommend!
House is beautiful and location is great. Views are amazing. House had everything we needed for 6 adults. Had an issue with the shower draining but the owners were easy to communicate with and responded to our concern immediately. Grateful to have opportunity to stay at such a lovely house and visit such a beautiful country.
This property has it all for a comfortable night stay.

Thank you, Cristina, we are happy to hear you had such a comfortable stay in our house, hope you got a chance to view the amazing Arora from the hot tub, it can be so very bright this time of year.
We hope to have you visit again,
Sincerely,
Heidi and Rob
This place was amazing, even better than the pictures. Lots of space for everyone to spread out. Peaceful stay with spectacular views, we even saw the northern lights
Not too remote and not too close to the city, makes it a great place to try to view the northern light from the comfort of the home. Has a hot tub that you can relax in while waiting for it to appear at night.
This was a great place to stay. We had our family, 10 of us, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Out of 5 places we stayed this was the kids favorite. Plenty of room and great hot tub. We found everything that we needed for our stay from all kitchen items to fans. I am a very picky sleeper. Normally on vacation I don't sleep well and usually can't wait to get in my own bed. Not here. I slept like a baby. I even pulled up the bedding to see if I could see the mattress brand incase it is possible to get in the states. To top it off we had a fantastic lights display. You won't be dissapointed.
We loved the quiet location and natural setting for the large, comfortable house. Looking over the river while we relaxed was incredible, as was the hot tub on the deck. This was a perfect location for viewing northern lights!
Great location with access to waterfalls, geysers and other attractions. You may not want to leave the house with it's great views and relaxed atmosphere.
Beautiful modern comfortable house, gorgeous views, good beds, wonderful hot tub - all amenities present. Great stay here with our extended family, highly recommend.
This property was excellent in communicating to us the beauty of Iceland. The surrounding scenery as well as the access to so many amazing places made this a perfect place for us. It was also the perfect size for 6 adults and 3 teenagers. Wonderful place to stay.
This modern house was ckean and comfortable. We were isolated enough to see the northern lights.

Exceptional property that pictures and words cannot adequately describe…the views and area are breathtaking!! The hosts couldn’t have been nicer and went to great lengths to make sure we could locate the property, have all the amenities necessary and were informed of all the great activities in the area. We highly recommend this property!!
The house was clean and had everything that we needed for the kitchen and bathroom. It was perfect for our big group and the views from the house were beautiful. The location of the house was also great because we were close to many of the popular things to see in Iceland but also far enough away from the more populated areas which meant we got to see the northern lights.
Excellent. Very kid friendly, even had some toys and a couple balls as well as kid friendly cups, bowls and plates. Would also be great for a group of adults. The view is truly as beautiful as the online listing.

Thank you so much and welcome back... :-) Sincerely, Heidi and Rob
We loved our stay here, we brought our 3 married children and their spouses and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. Rooms had gorgeous views. The house’s location is idyllic, rural, but not far from Selfoss and easy to get to lots of fantastic natural wonders.
All the amenities we needed, light and airy. Would definitely stay again.
