Stroll through center of the nearby cozy town of Selfoss and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the Reykjavík capital with all its glory, nightlife and culture, or take a day trip to the west to Snæfellsjökull national park or to the east to Vík and the Black Beach.

The bedrooms are bright and spacious, with high quality beds, and a beautiful view. The bathrooms are spacious with long wooden countertops, both with a large shower room.

The design of the house is outstanding and well thought out. It has floor to ceiling windows, open space, hardwood floor, natural stone tiles, designed lighting, and with one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly floor heating systems installed in houses today. The heating system is perfect and we can guarantee you a warm and cozy house in the winter time.The house is designed by one of our best architects, Sigurður Ólafur Sigurðsson who designed many of our spectacular modern houses in Iceland.

Serene, Modern Comfort
We stayed five nights in April 2024. We were treated to the Northern Lights our first night. The house is spacious, clean and modern. The beds are very comfortable. It sleeps ten in beds. The area is super quiet. The hot tub is pristine. The host was great and had good documents. The trash/recycling system could be a little more well documented. We did the golden circle, two hot springs and the southern beaches (where we saw Puffins!) Great stay, thanks so much!

Incredible house, amazing views, great location
This is an incredible house with stunning views. We spent every night gathered around the kitchen table enjoying home cooked meals before enjoying the Northern Lights from the warmth of the hot tub surrounded by a gorgeous snowy landscape. The location is excellent for exploring the South Coast, from Selfoss to the Golden Circle to Vik. The neighboring towns have some good spots to eat, with friendly people throughout willing to make a local suggestion. All in all a perfect base for a special trip in Iceland. Would return for a visit any time! Note: Although the listing says Selfoss, the house is actually about 30-40 minutes outside of Selfoss, and about 90 minutes from Reykjavik. Not a big deal at all but something to be aware of when planning your trip.

Incredible Property in Iceland
Everything about our stay in Iceland was perfect. The house was great and ideal for us wanting to stay in the countryside and be able to venture out and see Iceland during the day. We were able to explore the area and come home at night to a great home to stay in. One of the nights we were able to enjoy the Northern Lights from the Hot Tub on the deck. It was truly all we could ask for.

Perfect Place to Stay
Our family chose this house due to its proximity to the Golden Circle and the fact it was a bit off the grid - it did not disappoint. Modern home with gorgeous views, and a very helpful host to answer any questions. Loved the hot tub, heated floors and view from the deck. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay and would highly recommend this home.

Couldn’t Have Picked a Better Place!
7 of us stayed here and we all loved the property. It looked exactly like the posting, was clean, and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, or hang out in the same room when we wanted. The location was great, rural, but still within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. Using the hot tub every night was wonderful and we even got to see the Northern Lights!

We loved our stay here, we brought our 3 married children and their spouses and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. Rooms had gorgeous views. The house’s location is idyllic, rural, but not far from Selfoss and easy to get to lots of fantastic natural wonders. All the amenities we needed, light and airy. Would definitely stay again.

Impressive Property
Everything about this home is top notch. The location on the river and view were spectacular. The house is clean, modern and well equipped. We'd never seen so many dishes, glasses, towels, etc. in a rental home before. The weather was quite cold (go figure) but the heated floors keep the house cozy and comfortable. We made this trip specifically to hopefully see the Northern Lights since we've been to Iceland before. We were not disappointed and had a solid 1+ hour show on our first night which was visible from the deck as well as the large windows that face every direction in the home. Heidrun was quick to answer questions leading up to the trip and even alerted us to the severe weather that was rolling in toward the end of our week. I highly recommend the property and look forward to visiting again soon.

First time in Iceland and this clean and modern house greeted us with the warmth and comfort that we really needed after a long flight for two families with 4 adults and 4 kids. Great amenities - everything we needed in working condition. Excellent communication with the hosts who provided us with very detailed instructions about everything. We even got a detailed guide on things to do in all areas of this beautiful country! The hot tub was a great retreat, we are surprised how quickly it gets warm even in freezing weather. The views are just amazing in all directions! We would be glad to come back here again.
