Golden Circle perfection

Spotless, comfortable beds, newer appliances with clear operating instructions, and a convenient location for exploring the area. Cozy inside despite high winds and cold temps. Could not have asked for more.

Absolutely perfect!

It was the trip of a lifetime and the house was perfect! We saw the northern lights from the hot tub. We had a minor issue with the hot tub which the owner resolved within an hour. I loved the relatively private location and the incredible view. The house was nice and clean and had all the supplies we needed. Every time I was confused about how to work something, there was a little note with an explanation - the dishwasher, the dryer, the TV, the shower, etc.. It was really thoughtful. The GPS would have taken us down the wrong road towards the end of the trip, so you should follow the owner's instructions.

Slice of Icelandic paradise

Captivating location and cabin, with a gorgeous view over the river, and to the mountains. Ducks, geese, swans and even a couple of eagles to watch through the really big windows. The host was great to communicate with, and settled our nerves about the local roads / weather before we arrived. We didn’t need to ask anything else as it was all perfect. Cabin is furnished with just about everything you could want / need. Lucky enough to spend a few nights in the geothermal hot tub under a clear sky full of stars, and treated to a mesmerising aurora display on one night too. This was our 3rd visit to this magical island and we would definitely recommend this cabin.
