What nice hosts! They sent us information on local activities and such. Everything was clean and the jacuzzi was such a nice treat after long days of hiking. They have heated towel racks and extra heaters, which we found helpful after a day of hiking in the rain! The kitchen was very nice although you do have to wash your own dishes. But mostly everything you would need to prep a meal in the kitchen was provided. Thank you for an amazing stay! If I'm back in Iceland I would definitely go back there again.

This cabin and guest house was just right for our group of 4. We had one couple and a father with adult son. It was easy to find and located where starry skies and northern lights were amazing. It was clean with basic amenities and the owners were easy to communicate with. Hot tub was clean. Note that the twin beds are in a loft with very low ceiling. Perfect for kids but slightly tight for adults. Nearest store is in Selfoss so plan accordingly.

It’s a cuute little cabin . Modern and tidy though the access to the property was verry pebbly a bit like F208 , otherwise would give 5 stars , ample hot water and all small necessities included . Sleeping accommodation was awkward . One of us had to sleep in separate cabin and one in the attic with verry limited head room .

Our family had an absolutely magical stay at this property. If you're looking for peace, privacy, and a true Icelandic experience, this is the place. Nestled in a remote location, the cabin offered stunning views and a sense of serenity. The hosts were responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our arrival.The location is ideal for anyone wanting to explore the Golden Circle. We were just a short drive from Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss, which made day trips super convenient. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped for our family. We loved soaking in the hot tub under after a day of adventuring.We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful Icelandic getaway!

The cabin was pristine and beautiful. The hosts were quickly responsive to messages. The location is a new development with ample space between properties — construction on the adjacent lot didn't bother us. Finding the cabin was a minor challenge, but the host's welcome instructions were sufficient given daylight. FYI: expect big potholes on the gravel roads.The kitchen had stocked ingredients, utensils, cutlery, small appliances, a 2L pot, and a frying pan, plus a Weber grill outside. The 2L pot is small for a family pasta night, but manageable.Renters: proactively message the host about bed linens. I traveled with two children and only one loft bed had linens, which forced some awkward sleeping arrangements. We made it work, but it's worth sorting in advance.We were lucky enough to see the northern lights one clear evening. The hosts generously keep the hot tub on and ready. Note that proximity-triggered lights between the two buildings can briefly interfere with night vision, though they shut off after 10 seconds. Also, the guest house sits just north of the hot tub, blocking the northern horizon. The only north-facing window is in the loft, which had us gazing there since the aurora hugged the horizon during our stay.Overall, a lovely rental and we would happily return!

Convenient to Thingvellir National Park and the Southern Coast

We were able to tour both the national park and the southern coast conveniently without having to move between lodgings. The cabin is pretty new, has a nice view of the mountains, and a hot tub and grill on a pretty deck (though the midges require a head net that the host graciously provided for us). The kitchenette was adequate for us since we weren’t cooking anything more than breakfast. The upstairs bedroom with twin beds would be a great spot for a couple of kids who find it fun to climb up a ladder into a cosy nest. There is a smaller cabin connected by the deck with a second double bed and half bath—a nice arrangement when two couples are traveling together and appreciate their own space. I can’t praise the hosts enough. They communicated well, addressed every need requested and even anticipated others. I recommend checking it out, especially if you’re touring both the golden circle and southern coast and want to come home to a quiet place away from the summer tourist crowds.
