Excellent place to stay and great base to explore from
We had an excellent stay in Iceland. Just around the corner from Selfoss (easy for your grocery shop) and the main attractions from the golden circle are less than an hourâs drive away. The property is very tidy and cosy and Elin is a great host. Definitely a great place to stay
This house is amazing ! Amazing location and close to many attractions near the golden circle ! Would definitely stay here again. Hosts were very accommodating.
Property was perfect for day trips for the golden circle, snorkelling, lava cave and volcano hike, Sky Lagoon and glacier lagoon (long day). Came back to relax in the hot tub and sauna.
This couples property was great! They had all the amenities of home and it was centrally located for adventures in Icelandâs southern region. Could not have been more pleased with their hospitality, flexibility, and kind demeanor! Highly recommend this property for your travels.
The location of this property is perfect! Itâs close to Selfoss, all the main attractions of the Golden Circle as well as off the beaten path sights. It was so nice coming back to this cozy property after a long day of sightseeing to take in the beautiful surroundings and relax in the hot pot & sauna. The property owners go out of their wayâŠliterally, to familiarize you with the house and their country. I highly recommend this property.
Beautiful, well-designed home in an unforgettable location
We stayed 5 nights. Elin went out of her way to meet us, get us familiarized with everything, and providing suggestions for things to do. She was responsive and helpful.
It is a stunning, elegant home. We loved the sauna, outdoor shower, and "hot pot." The beds were comfortable. The house was immaculate. The kitchen was gourmet. And water from the tap is better than any bottled water you've ever tasted. We walked on the paths around the home every morning. And major attractions on the Golden Circle are within easy driving distance. We had an amazing time!
This modern holiday home was the perfect base for our day tours into the wonderful nature of Iceland's southwest. Only 15 minutes north of Selfoss it offered all amenities we could think of. Besides a very appealing arrangement this included a well equipped open plan kitchen in a spacious living room, three bedrooms, lots of stowage space, a sauna, an outdoor hot tub with shower, laundry facilities as well as a Weber grill. Everything worked properly and was super clean. Elin (property owner) was very hospitable and reachable whenever needed. Even better, after our arrival in Iceland we met Elin's son in Reykjavik who guided us to the house where he gave us a comprehensive briefing. What else could we expect? Really nothing to complain about. We can fully recommend this holiday home!
We really enjoyed staying at Elin's cozy and modern home. Very welcoming and homey. Sometimes rentals feel like they are just rentals but this house felt like staying in a well cared for home. We had everything we needed, kitchen basics, linens, etc.. Only downside was we wish the Hotpot/Hot tub had been easier to use. We only got to enjoy it once on our 6 night stay but otherwise this place was great. Definitely recommend!
Das Ferienhaus ist ideal gelegen, um in verschiedene Richtungen AusflĂŒge zu unternehmen. Der Wohnraum ist modern und gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet. Die KĂŒche ist komplett ausgestattet. Einige GewĂŒrze und Lebensmittel sind bereits vorhanden und können benutzt werden.
Es ist jedoch schade, dass der Hot Tub jedesmal drei Stunden braucht um vollzulaufen. Der Kamin war leider nur der Deko.
Das Haus war wie beschrieben sehr schön und super ausgestattet. Die Lage war fĂŒr uns perfekt. Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin Elin sehr nett. Wir haben uns super wohl gefĂŒhlt. Insgesamt alles gut. Wir hatten hier einen sehr schönen Urlaub.
We had a great stay at Elin's house. The location is perfect for exploring the Golden Circle and Reykjavik. The house was very warm and comfortable, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen which we made good use of. Elin and her husband met us and drove with us to the house which was much appreciated and she was only a phone call away if we had any questions or issues. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is gorgeous and very comfortable, and the hosts were welcoming and helpful. It's in an ideal location for exploring the beauty of Iceland.
Elin was very easy to work and communicate with. The house was very well appointed; we cooked a number of meals in the house. If any issues arose, Elin and her family were a call away. Iâd highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again.
Absolutely amazing! I first of all never leave reviews and secondly am the most neurotic person and nothing really meets my standards ever, except my own home. I felt completely at home here and the house is exactly as picturedâexcept it has the most amazing coffee machine that has sparked an addiction for me:) The sauna is beautiful. The house has everything you need and more. Plenty of condiments, towels, toiletries you may have forgotten, American charging plug adapters, etc.
We spent a very long time researching where to stay in Iceland. This location is PERFECT! Youâre less than an hour to Reykjavik which wasnât of high interest to us. Being outside the city meant you were typically within 1.5 hours of EVERYTHING else you would want to see from
Vik to Mt Esja and the erupting volcano.
Elin was terrific to work with and extremely responsive. A+
Super schnelle Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin, hat so gut geklappt, obschon unser english knapp war.
Perfekt eingerichtetes Ferienhaus, einfach toll!Empfehle ich seehr gerne weiter!
A very comfortable house set in lovely surroundings - very peaceful and relaxing. We loved the hot tub and sauna! Elin was an excellent host, highly communicative as needed. The house is ideally placed for exploring the Golden Circle as well as easy access to the Blue Lagoon, 2021 eruption site and more. Highly recommend this place for a great blend of touring and relaxing.
We had a wonderful stay - the house is very well set up for relaxing, cooking at home, and feeling away from it all, yet is located to make getting to all of the hikes and sites of Southern Iceland very easy. Elin was an amazing host and was very responsive and provided great suggestions. Would highly recommend the house and her hospitality.
Elin's house is a stylish and luminous home, cosy, warm and very inviting. We all (4 adults and 2 children) felt very comfortable during our wonderful stay in Iceland. The home is located in a very quiet area. It is equipped with every possible thing (and more!), so that it feels as if you were at home.
I missed the house enormously once we had left!
Absolutely to recommend!
My name is Elin, I'm married and have two sons. I grew up in Iceland but have also spent considerble time abroad in relation with my work and studies (Denmark, France, UK and China).We love travelling in Iceland and abroad. We care greatly for our summerhouse and it's the best place we know to enjoy with our family and friends. Absoulutely the best place to relax and get in touch with nature which surrounds the place. We put great trust and faith in those who choose to rent our place and we do our utmost to maker their stay as enjoyable as possible.
This beautiful summerhouse is the perfect place to relax and enjoy being away from your everyday life both summer and winter. It's luxurious and beautifully designed. It's located 30-45 min. drive from many of Iceland's most popular places and surrounded with hiking trails and just few minutes walk from a salmon river.
The beautiful surroundings and the overall design of this place is irrisisteble and makes you feel welcome, relaxed and secure. During the summer you can enjoy the 24 hr light and the during the winter the Northern lights in the complete darkness. After a long day looking at beautiful sights you can relax in the sauna and make a delicious meal in the very spacious and well equipped kitchen.
