This house was amazing. Incredible views. It was very clean with an updated kitchen and bathrooms. Our teenage kids loved the sauna, cold bath, hot tub and fitness gym. We all loved the incredible coffee maker. This is one of those rentals that is even nicer than the pictures make it appear. We stayed here for the first two nights of our week-long trip in Iceland and we used this to visit Reykjavik. The drive to/from Reykjavik was an easy 40 minutes, but we didn't mind it at all because the views were so amazing. One day, we saw whales playing in the fjord. The host was very responsive and helpful. We can tell that he takes a lot of pride in providing an amazing rental experience for his guests. Thank you for everything.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights, wish we could have stayed longer! Amazing views, kids loved the video games, sauna and hot tub were nice after a long day of sightseeing. Host was super responsive to check in questions and showed us around and had manuals for operating hot tub and sauna. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area!

Amazing Views & A Beautiful Home

We had an amazing visit. Gretar’s house is fully equipped and amazingly designed. The views are unimaginable.We were traveling as a family (me, my wife, 2 children (ages 2 & 6), my mother-in-law, and my mom) and had a great stay. Gretar has everything you need at the house for little kids, which was super helpful. The kitchen has everything you need. The house itself is really nicely designed. The deck is great and the hot tub and sauna were really nice. Again, I can’t say enough about the views. The house may seem remote but there is a great hot springs and restaurant a few minutes down the road. We have been to Iceland a few times to visit and this by far was our best trip. It was nice to be outside of Reykjavik and get relax away from the tour buses. Also, Gretar was great to work with and very responsive. Our original flights from the States were cancelled, which pushed back our arrival a few days. Luckily, the place was still available and Gretar helped make things seamless. Overall, I highly recommend staying here.

Great quiet and convenient

I highly recommend this place to stay if you are planning anything in the northwest areas of Iceland. It was clean well stocked and convenient too many destinations north west of Reykjavík. The hosts met us with the key and make sure that we were informed of all the amenities the property had to offer

Incredible northern lights

We stayed for about a week over new year for a friends reunion and the not so secret hope of catching the northern lights. The property is lovely, the views are incredible, and the host was very kind and communicative. We cooked in the lovely kitchen each day and took small trips to local sites (waterfalls, hot springs). New year's eve at about 10:30/11 we had a spectacular view of the northern lights from inside and all around the property. Highly, highly recommend if you're looking for a similar experience.

Wonderful stay and the northern lights too!

The house was as described. Very well appointed. Spotless. Quiet with a relaxing view out the window. We saw the northern lights right off the back deck- amazing! Check in process was very easy. Great location for heading to the north, the Golden Circle, Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Multiple locations for natural soaking baths, one just a few minutes down the road. The house has bedrooms on both sides with the living area in the middle so great for multiple couples or several adults ( my party) wanting a little privacy. We didn’t want to leave, and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful modern home with great layout

My husband and I with 4 young adults (family and partners) thoroughly enjoyed staying at this quiet, comfortable home. The hot tub, cold plunge and the sauna added to the enjoyment especially with few nights of northern light displays and the beautiful night sky. I liked that the bedrooms were divided into 2 wings and the common area including the kitchen was in the center of the house plan. We could get up early and not disturb the kids who stayed up much later than us. Everyone loved the fancy coffee machine and the owner was quick to replace the filter when the machine called for it. The kitchen was well equipped with pots and pans as well as various dishes and cups that made our dinner settings fun!

Amazing views in a comfortable, contemporary and quiet space

We enjoyed this clean, well appointed house, approximately 45 minutes from Reykjavik and an easy 30 minute drive to the Golden Circle. The kitchen is complete with all that is needed, and Gretar is a responsive hostess, who kindly allowed us to arrive a few hours prior to the 1600 check in time. Our time was spent enjoying both the hot tub and sauna, but it was the spectacular water and mountain views from the open kitchen, living room that provided beautiful sunsets. We will return again.

Nothing has been overlooked

Incredible views, an endless list of top of the line amenities and the quality of the property as a whole is impressive. Comfortable and quiet bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, and a perfectly stocked kitchen. Everything worked as promised, including the hot tub and sauna. Plenty of storage space and the shoe rack and hanging rod with hangers immediately inside the entrance are especially appreciated.
