The sisters have one amazing jewel of a property. The location gives you the isolation from the hub bub, but great for getting to the east sight seeing and the circle.Coffee every morning on the deck watching the sun rise

Our stay at this VRBO was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, comfortable, and well-maintained everything was. The home had everything we needed and made it so easy to relax and truly enjoy our time in Iceland!This was our longest stay during our trip to Iceland, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire vacation. It was the perfect home base for exploring the surrounding area while also providing a cozy place to unwind each evening.One of the highlights was playing a round at the nearby golf course, which was such a fun and memorable experience with beautiful scenery. It added something extra special to our trip.Overall, staying here made for an amazing experience and was such a wonderful way to experience Iceland. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming home away from home. We would love to come back someday!

Incredible cabin

What an absolute pleasure it was to stay at this cabin. The view, the location, and the feeling were perfect. The sisters were quick to respond to any questions and could not have been any more gracious as hosts. This is a place I would come back to without question.

Inspirational Iceland

The cabin is within easy driving distance to as many Golden Circle attractions as you want to experience. Very cozy accommodation, filled with the aura of family love, complete with all your essential needs for cooking. We loved our short stay here & would like to extend it next time if we are fortunate enough to return again to Iceland.

An Amazing Place

Our stay was absolutely amazing! Johanna and her sisters have a wonderful property with everything you need to relax and unwind during your trip. The sparkling wine upon arrival was a nice touch. We appreciated having plenty of firewood for a nice fire in the evenings and the view over the river was charming. The location is perfect to visit the sights in the Golden Circle without a lot of extra driving or time. We would highly recommend a stay here to everyone.

Cozy Little Cabin

We absolutely enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this little cabin out and away from Selfoss! The stove was so nice to keep stoked with a fire for warmth. Johanna and her sisters were very friendly and provided great instructions. We will miss the place!

Absolutely Perfect

Starting with the most thorough communication we've ever had on VRBO, and moving on to a spacious but cozy property, this was the best experience one could ever hope for. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything. If you are headed to Iceland, make it a point to book multiple days here!

Fantastic home and location

We wish we had planned more time to simply relax and enjoy this beautiful home. We loved the wood burning stove. While we did not use the hot tub, we surely would have if we weren't out exploring the whole time. We had everything we needed. The hosts were very helpful with information prior to our stay, and check in and check out were seamless. We would easily stay here again!
