About this property
Hilltop Cabin Hekla - Golden circle, mountain view
Located right in the Golden circle in the heart of South of Iceland, Hilltop Cabin Hekla is only a few minutes away from the countries most popular attractions. A fifteen minute drive takes you to the magnificent hotspring Geysir and the iconic Gullfoss is not far away. On the way you can experience Þingvellir, a World Heritage site.
After a full day of experiencing the unique nature of Iceland relax in a stylish cabin with modern comforts. What could possibly be better than to enjoy the Midnight Sun or the Northern Lights in a hot tub with water from the local hotspring?

I own an interior design shop in Reykjavík called Esja Dekor, and my husband is a journalist and a videographer for Iceland´s oldest and biggest newspaper Morgunblaðið, and most popular web
We absolutely love the Icelandic nature and countryside, and love to be able to escape to our cabin with the great view of mountains, glaciers and volcanos. The area around the cabin offers a lot of activities for us and for the kids.

Why they chose this property
This property has it all. It´s perfectly placed in the middle of the golden circle, with an amazing mountain view. It is cozy and has big windows for enjoying the view. We knew right away that we could make this house look very good and that we could create an experience for travellers.
We have always loved mountain view from our properties, and we think it is an important factor.
