As we pulled up to the house, my 18 year old son said “this looks like a house on tik tok!” Very modern, incredibly clean, very easy home base to travel the south coast. Sauna and hot tub were perfect on surprisingly cool summer evenings. I’m not sure my family and I will ever be lucky enough to return to Iceland but if we ever do, we’d absolutely stay here again.

Cozy cabin close to sightseeing

We loved adventuring around the Golden Circle and Þingvellir National Park during the day, then coming home to this cozy cabin every evening. It made for the perfect Iceland experience! Even Vik and the South Coast was within an easy day’s drive. Every direction from the place was scenic, including the view from the sauna! Would recommend for both couples, and plenty of room for families as well.

Omg, the view, the location, the property! This adorable little cottage is perfectly located right in the heart of the Golden Circle.The sauna was clean, although the bucket hadn’t been cleaned and had some slime build-up. This was really the only thing that had been missed. The kitchen is small but well equipped, with plenty of dishwasher tablets and washing machine pods provided.The spa was fantastic and such a highlight of our stay. The only minor inconvenience was that first-time access requires you to call a gate number, which could be difficult if you don’t have a local SIM or international roaming. Thankfully, international roaming only cost me 20 for my 15 days in Iceland.Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Amazing

The property was perfect. It had everything we needed and enough room for our family of 6. The location was stunning and just what we were after. The hot tub and sauna are a great addition and easy to use. Can't wait to go back!

Family trip to Iceland

Just spent a week at the cabin with my family of 4 (kids are 12 and 15). The cabin had everything you’d need for a family trip. Loved having the sauna and hot tub after chilly days seeing the sights. Jon checked in with me right away to make sure we got in ok (we did!). Highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful cabin with all the mod cons. Real designer decor and facilities. Soaking in the hot tub was the highlight of the children’s holiday. Well placed for riding at Esteford, Gaysir, Thingvellir National Park and Gullfoss. Also went to the not very secret hotel pool at Gamla Laugaten (spelling?), which when not busy was great. Well placed for supermarkets and only about 50 mins from Reykjavik.
