The cottage is very spacious and well appointed and was a comfortable place to stay for the 6 nights we were there. Located in a small forested area, it felt very private, quiet and relaxing with visits and serenades from many birds. The location was also very central to many of the places we wanted to visit during our stay in Iceland, making for easy day trips. The hot tub was a wonderful way to wind down after an active day. David was the perfect host, providing with lots of information before we even left home and responding quickly to any questions we had. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a fantastic stay here. The property is beautifully decorated, well equipped with everything you need, very warm and cozy and the hot tub is an added bonus. It’s also perfectly located to explore all the sights along the Golden Circle and also a good distance to Reykjavik. We would definitely love to stay here again on our next visit.

Golden circle vacation

Stayed with my husband for half week at this wonderful cottage. Location was perfect for day trips. We enjoyed the golden circle, the Tomato cafe, and relaxing at the cottage in the evening. We cooked breakfast and dinners there, used the hot in after hikes. We were lucky to have great conditions to see northern lights every night. Would highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back.

Cozy hideaway in the Golden Circle Area

this cottage is a beautiful, cozy and lovingly decorated place. It is perfectly located for many exciting excursions in this beautiful area, e.g. the Golden Circle, horse riding, hiking in Geothermal areas near Hveragerdi, bathing in lagunes, etc. and then closing the day in the hot tub at the cottage - just perfect!

Amazing Cottage!

I truly think this cottage is one of my favorite VRBOs I have ever stayed it! The heated bathroom floor, the hot tub, the privacy and golf. It is amazing! I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see places along the Golden Circle. Wonderful place, comfortable beds, really everything was perfect!!

Great spot for families

Great location, stayed for a week at David’s property. He was kind enough to meet us at check-in and show us around the property. Highly recommend going to the Vestmann Islands and going to all the local municipal pools with your kids. Be sure to learn Iceland pool etiquette!

The Perfect Place

David provided excellent instructions not only of the cottage but what was available to see in the area—as well as greeting is when we arrived! There is everything you need to stay and more. It’s in a perfect location to see the Kenid Crater, Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir Nat’l park and more. As well it is beautifully decorated with the bonus of a small putting range on the property. We absolutely loved our stay and felt so much at home!

Great Location!

We stayed at this property during a 5 night stopover and had a fantastic visit. The house is in a gated community a bit over an hour away from Keflavik Airport. The location ended up being perfect for all of the day trips we took around the southern part of Iceland. The darling cottage itself is clean, well appointed and comfortable. Taking a soak in the hot tub on a cold and clear night was an added bonus. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location to see lots of sights, and chill in between

We had 5 nights with our family of 2 adults and 2 small children. The cottage was well equipt to enjoy meals and relax - a really comfortable living space for a family. The garden/yard and hot tub were a great bonus and our boys loved exploring out there. We saw 7 of the main attractions at easy daily outings. The bedrooms are a little small, but beds are comfortable and plenty of room to relax in the main area. We'd love to return to the cottage on a future trip!

Excellent property and host.

Great place for access to the Golden Circle attractions. It’s nice to come back after a day of touring to a house that feels like home rather than a motel room or a camper van. Very comfortable and very well equipped. You need only stop at the grocery store and buy groceries. Anything and everything you might need is already there waiting for you to use. The heated ceramic floor and the bathroom was wonderful. Relaxing in the hot tub in the evening was a perfect way to wind down from the today’s travel.

Amazing!We've stayed in dozens of VRBO or AirB&B properties but I think this is probably our favourite.The property is so welcoming and comfortable. It feels very light and airy while still being warm. The house is stocked with all the necessities including tea,coffee and hot chocolate as well as things like oil, spices and pastas etc. There are a couple of shops on the road in or larger stores in Selfoss to grab your provisions. We enjoyed breakfast on the decking overlooking the gardens. Beautiful views all around, Even managed to catch the Aurora Loved every minute of our stay, were already planning to return. Thanks so much to our hosts.

The cabin is exactly as described. Its a comfortable and cozy stay with a beautiful view. The host required us to sign additonal documents about a week or two after he had already accepted our reservation and taken payment. If the host wants an additional off platform lease agreement, he needs to say that before accepting payment and confirming the reservation. The hot tub works great and the host gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit in the area. The knob to turn on the shower broke during our stay and the host came to fix it within a day which we appreciated. Overall a good stay. Just need to be transparent and ethical with booking/business practices.

VRBO recommends that owners enter into a rental agreement with tenants. The agreement does not include any additional requirements, only information about the house, its location, and how tenants can access the house. This is for the benefit and convenience of both parties.

A great place for the golden circle and the south part of Iceland

The property is excellent, with a nice location that is easily accessible. It's close enough to Reykjavík, which is perfect if you encounter a rainy day and need to change your plans. However, it's important to ensure that you and your company are well-coordinated as the bedrooms are minuscule. It seems that the owner has plans to expand them in the future, but it hasn't happened yet. Nonetheless, overall, it's a fantastic place where you feel at home right away.

Dream come true

We completed two bucket list items: visiting Iceland and seeing the northern lights. The cottage was the perfect base for exploring the Golden Circle and some of the south coast. David was very responsive when we had questions and check-in was a breeze. We were even able to check in a little early which was nice. The beds are comfortable with dark shades for the windows and the bathroom has a heated floor which was an unexpected bonus! The backyard is large and beautiful with a short putting golf course. We don't play, but we walked around, enjoying nature. The hot tub was nice after days of hiking & walking. On 2 days I spotted a Rock Ptarmigan out the window, and saw other birds I didn't identify for certain (I'm a casual birder!). The neighborhood was very quiet, and night time was super dark for taking great aurora and star pictures. I would definity recommend this to those seeking a quiet countryside getaway. Selfoss is not too far and has groceries, gas and a cute downtown shopping/restaurant area. We were sad when it was time to leave.
