Beautiful home, we were so thankful that we got to stay here for four nights. It was so calm and quiet, a nice way for us to end our holiday in Iceland. We were able to make use of the hot tub, which was so nice and warm. Pictures do not do it justice, it was a truly stunning place to stay.

Very clean and comfortable, a perfect central location to the Golden Circle, Selfoss, Vik, the Westman Islands, and yet amazingly relaxing, soaking in the hot tub on a beautiful peaceful lake after day trips. Our family loved the lakehouse and we'd highly recommend it to others.

Great Location - super relaxing - everything you need

Stayed here with two kids and two adults - fantastic location, very peaceful and quiet. Located about 5 km off of the main highway 1, it was a great central place to take in some of the Golden Circle sights and also going down to Vik and the Black Sand Beach. Rejkavik was also within reach if we desired, but we had a separate stay in Rejkavik. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic!

We had a great stay here! The owner made everything super easy and self-explanatory. We found it to be exactly what we were hoping it would be - easy, comfortable, and perfect for day trips. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the deck and seeing the horses as we drove by each day.
