Our stay at this property was unforgettable! Nestled in a beautiful location on the Golden Circle with wide open skies to view the Northern Lights. The house itself was cozy and well-appointed, with modern amenities and a warm atmosphere. We especially loved the hot pot, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The host's detailed instructions made checking in a breeze. This was the ideal base for our adventures, and we hope to return soon!

Very nice cottage!

We stayed here for 4 nights in July, two adults and two children (8 and 10). The cottage is located a 30-45 min drive from a lot of cool sites, and 20 mins from Selfoss with shops and cafés. The cottage itself is really nice, clean and well kept, with a very nice hot tub! Would recommend sleeping with the windows closed in the summer though, to keep the gnats/mosquitos out. We learned the hard way the first night 😅

Absolutely gorgeous

Loved to stay in the Cabin! Great Location for the south area. The cabin is very comfortable and have everything you need. We just had a bit of trouble getting the hot water going and the pipes make a lot of noise while you use the shower, but other than that, we loved it here and would love to come back! Host communication is impecable! Thank you so much for such great experience! Jessica B

Selfoss accommodations

The house was located in beautiful setting. We could see mountains around us and caught a beautiful sunset our first evening there. There was a deck that went 3/4 of the way around the house with a hot tub to enjoy after traveling. It was a convenient location to enjoy sightseeing.

Incredible property in stunning country

We absolutely loved our stay at House Ingolfsfjal. The property is bigger than it looks on the photos so plenty of room for 5 adults. The beds are comfy and blackout blinds in the rooms mean it stays dark. Communication with Rainer and Stephanie was excellent and they were so helpful. The house was so well equipped with absolutely everything we needed and excellent instructions on where to find things. The hot pot was glorious after hiking and sightseeing days and the views from inside we wonderful! We were so sad to leave this amazing house and would love to return to Iceland and to this house.

Perfect Iceland Home Base!

I could not wait to come home and review this property. We didn't want to stay right in Reykjavik as we had some tours booked in southern Iceland and wanted to really explore the Golden Circle. This house was the perfect location for all of our adventures. Only 30 minutes north to Thingvellir, a couple hours east brings you to black sand beaches and waterfalls, and less than an hour to Reykjavik and the more popular lagoons. The house was cozy, comfortable, and came with a manual that answered any questions we may have had. The hosts were very responsive and had lots of insight and suggestions about sights to see. Would stay here again and again!

This house was the perfect place for my family of 5 to stay for our Iceland vacation! Location was a great home base for sightseeing day trips. The views we spectacular, and the house was actually even better than the pictures showed! The house included all of the comforts of home (kitchen was stocked with all the appliances/gadgets you would want), and the detailed check in packet and communication from hosts made it a breeze to rent this property! I simply cannot say enough good things about this property!

Great location for Golden Circle activities! The two bedrooms on the bottom floor were perfect for the adults, and the two teenagers enjoyed being able to "escape" up to the loft. We traveled in Feb and could see the northern lights while sitting on the deck. Highly recommend.

My wife, 14 year old son and I stayed here for a long weekend. Great location, kitchen is well equipped, very clean, close to Selfoss for any supplies a traveler might need. Sitting out in the hot tub watching for northern lights (even though we didn't get to see any) was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again on any subsequent trips to Iceland.

Very nice, well equipped house with good views

Had a very nice stay at this house near Selfoss with good views of the surrounding area. Great kitchen, comfortable beds and a good powerful shower. The lounge is lovely with views in three directions of the beautiful Icelandic scenery. Be slightly wary of the Icelandic weather as a large amount of snow came down the day before we were due to check in and this made getting to the house difficult. Once off the main road and past the gate our 4x4 got stuck in the deep snow and we were only able to reach the house itself once a passing snow plough had kindly cleared to route. Other than that, everything was good.

This place is clean, spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the cabin has everything you need and more. The owners are quick to respond to questions and their directions to the cabin were fantastic.

Excellent stay with a spectacular landscape

This home is meticulously maintained, comfortable, very private, and very clean. The neighborhood is rural and beautiful, and only an hour drive from almost every site in the golden circle, including the active volcano. The owners are incredibly responsive and flexible. Very highly recommended (we would definitely stay here again). If you love to be in a rural area with an incredible landscape and view, then this is the place to go.

This rent was in great shape and we’ll equipped! It’s location in south central was perfect for exploring Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, the coast south of Selfoss, and the waterfalls along the edge of the glacier to the east of Selfoss. All were within a one to two hour drive of the house! Selfoss was nearby for stocking up on goods and other needs.

Great escape for our adventures

We had a great time at the rental. We made liberal use of the hot pot after many of our days exploring Iceland, and it was a great location for the things we wanted to see. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it was plenty of living space for five adults to relax in. The only things to be aware of would be varying hot water temperature and pressure and very soft pillows (your head sinks almost to the mattress). We even saw the Northern Lights, which was a big reason for picking Iceland and this house's location! Lovely house, and I would definitely recommend it.

Pretty Good Place...

Overall, the home was very nice, however, there were some things that we found that we did not LOVE about this place. 1) there was only 1 partial roll of toilet paper for 5 people...???? This wouldn't normally be a problem but we were literally miles away from a store to buy more. 2) There were no paper towels or other paper products in the home. 3) The "hot tub" did not have any jets -- and is literally only a tub of warm water. Also, when we got there, there was no hot water to actually fill the tub which we were informed does happen. Sadly we were never able to use the tub due to these problems. 4) Despite the rules of the home upon arrival we found that there was trash around the yard and that the prior people left more trash in the receptacle out back (which we were under the impression was not to happen.) Also the cigaret bin was over flowing...and we don't even smoke. Overall, the home is a great way to travel and see the sights in Iceland. However, be prepared to supply more of your own products for the home and know that the "hot tub" is really a tub of warm water...when it works. Despite all of these things, the owners were very responsive to emails and did answer our questions after we arrived. Sadly, the great location and responsive hosts did not make this home everything we had been expecting.
