We truly enjoyed staying at this beautiful and cozy home. It was everything we could have hoped for in a cozy warm place to land every evening after a day out exploring the wonders of Iceland. The owners have placed thoughtful touches everywhere with plenty of towels, robes and other amenities to make your stay enjoyable. And the view out the back of the lake is stunning to wake up to each day and a beautiful place to watch the sunset from. Our group even saw northern lights from there our first night! The hot tub is a nice touch as well, just sorry we didn’t actually partake in it as we had done several of the nearby lagoons instead. We did have a couple pool games and watched a couple movies in the basement which was fun too. We only had one small maintenance issue with the stove top and by communicating with the owner, it was taken care of as quickly as possible which we were very appreciate of. All in all this is an amazing place to stay and we were a bit sad to leave. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay here again. Stay here if you can, it will not disappoint,

Beautiful home near the Golden Circle

The home was lovely and in a beautiful setting on the lake. Beds were so comfortable and we loved the view and the hot tub. There was plenty of space for our family of 8. The location was perfect to explore the Golden Circle.

Wonderful experience

We truly enjoyed staying in the home. It accommodated our group of 7 adults with room to spare. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds very comfortable. The view was lovely and it was 10 minutes to town with great restaurants.

Fantastic stay

Beautiful home in a great location. 20-30 minute drive from our daily adventures. Owners thought of every detail : extra abundance of towels / bathrobes, slides for walking to the hot tub, small fans on each bedroom side table, etc. Heated floors helped for a cold week! And the views were spectacular!

This was an absolutely beautiful home on the lake in Selffoss. It was so comfortable and relaxing with the view of the lake. Excellent amenities and plenty of sleeping quarters for our adventure group of women. The host’s Sigyn and Diddi were so responsive with all questions prior to our first trip to Iceland …. Also during our trip. We used the hot tub daily after hiking and enjoyed the kayaking on the lake!We had a splendid trip!

The house was beautiful and right on the water. We saw beautiful views of the Northern Lights right from the deck. The house had everything we needed inside and and it’s just a short drive to the grocery store. The property owners accommodated our flight and let us check in very early

This is one of the best VRBO properties I have ever stayed in. A peaceful, beautiful location directly on a lake and perfectly located for the sights of the Golden Circle. The hosts have excellent attention to detail in providing everything we needed to enjoy our stay including kayaks, a row boat, life jackets, a fire pit and of course the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable, the towels and bathroom amenities were all high quality. The TV even had an Apple TV device, another example of the hosts thinking about every detail. Communication with the host was excellent. We loved our stay here.

Fantastic Property

We truly have some fantastic memories at this house that we will cherish forever. We had 2 families with a 4 yr old, 3 yr old, and 2.5 yr old and we all fit perfectly. We cold plunged in the lake in the morning and enjoyed the hot tub at night. Do not hesitate to book this house!

Fantastic house with great views, very well equipped and just like a home from home. The host had thought of everything including robes and a basket full of sliders to go to the hot tub! Good location for touring the south coast. We had 11 people in the house and was ok but was a bit of a wait for showers/bathrooms. Not a criticism of the house, just worth knowing if you are a large party. It was freezing and snowy during our stay but the house was lovely and well heated. We hope to come back in the warmer months! The host was also great at sharing information and for telling us when to look out for the northern lights which was a nice touch! Many thanks

Magical Christmas

Sigyn's communication was excellent throughout the booking process, pre-departure and during our stay. The property is exactly as described and for us, it provided an idyllic Christmas vacation. On the ratings, we just dropped one point on location as we very nearly got snowed in on the drive on our morning of departure. Everything else though was wonderful - a stunning location and a fully and professionally equipped property.

Fantastic home perfect base for Golden Circle

We stayed here with our 3 adult children and the home was absolutely perfect! Clean and comfortable with a beautiful lakefront setting in the trees - it was very private, yet just a short drive from Golden Circle sights and the town of Selfoss. Hot tub under the stars (no bubbles, it’s the Icelandic way), pool table downstairs for the kids, and the Northern Lights across the street!! Very gracious host who met us at checkin to make sure we had everything we needed. (Which we did - the home was well stocked including coffee beans). I would highly recommend this house!!

What a wonderful warm home !

The house was perfect for our family of 6. The kitchen was nicely stocked with spices and coffee. The fireplace was warm and inviting after a long day of exploring Iceland in the cold. The pool table downstairs add to the family fun. If you're looking for a nice home to complement your visit to Iceland think about this Luxury Lakefront Villa, It would be outstanding in the spring and summer. We didn't spend much time outdoors (visited in late November) but the lake looked wonderful and the patio was inviting.

Amazing location and awesome house!

Sigyn and Diddi were wonderful! The house is amazing and the hot tub is a must. You have all the spices you need to cook and the grocery store is just 15 min away in Selfoss. The location is perfect for a 1 hr drive into Reykjavik for a day downtown, it is right on the golden circle and we HIGHLY recommend taking a day to drive south east towards Vik to see many waterfalls, a glacier, lighthouse, black sand beaches and amazing countryside. The bathrooms are spacious and have really nice soap, shampoo, conditioner and hair dryers. The beds were very comfortable and were real king and queen beds (not 2 twins pushed together). If you want to see the countryside, you can't find a better place to stay!

I second all the stellar reviews that have been left here, and I will add one more jaw-dropping detail: We discovered, during our stay, that the dishwasher was broken, and so I contacted the host, who promptly responded. Within a few hours (while we were out exploring the area), the old dishwasher had been removed and a brand-new one had been installed! I never expected or anticipated such service -- but it was so greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I can't say enough about every aspect of this home. It is exquisitely designed, clean, and well maintained. The kitchen is incredibly equipped, and the home offers more than enough space for private and gathering places. The surroundings are simply idyllic, and we took full advantage of the boats -- so easy to access -- and it was an experience not to be missed on that beckoning lake. Obviously, the host is exceptionally responsive. The home was truly a highlight of our 16 days on the island! (Second photo is a panorama from the deck; ignore the distortion.)

This beautiful property is run like a five star hotel with all the comforts of your home with an amazing view. Our children went across the lake in kayaks and safety jackets! The location was perfect for our exploring. We were all very comfortable and took advantage of the deck, gourmet kitchen and hot tub! I’ll have to go back and get a picture of all of us in our White Terry cloth robes.
