Beautiful home in a beautiful location

We went to Iceland to try to catch the Northern Lights and were blessed to have been able to see them from this beautiful home! We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, spacious design, and comfortable furniture! We didn't use the hot tub as we expected to but hit up the (sort of) nearby Krauma hot springs. We really appreciated our AWD with studded tires as the road to the home was very icy on many days. Everything was as expected and advertised. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Wonderful modern house

The house is timelessly modern, clean and very well equipped. It is in a remote location with little light-pollution, ideally to watch northern lights - if there are. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We'd love to come back if we have the opportunity!

Lovely Property

We loved the house! From the design to the amenities and the hosts with high attention to detail everything was great. We were a group of 6 women and used the house as a hub to go out exploring each day. The hot tub was a treat at the end of our daily adventures. Also, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Note that one shower is outside, which I may have missed When reserving. The cooktop was a bit challenging for us so my only suggestion would be to have very detailed instructions like there are for the other household appliances. That being said, we would return!

Outstanding home

Wonderful home in a great location to see many sights in Iceland. The house itself is top notch. Clean, modern, all the amenities and more of home. It was perfect for the family. Also I want to point out the heated floors and….the outdoor shower. Trust me. It’s a must. The water is perfect, the air is divine. You really won’t want for anything staying there. The owners make sure you are ready for your stay in Iceland - going well above by providing valuable information and suggestions. Can’t say enough great things. And if you’re a runner- you’ll thank Iceland everyday for the paths around the place.

About the host

Hosted by Heiðrún

We have been building up our Vacation rental business in the last few years and now we have 8 amazing modern Vacation rentals located in the West and South of Iceland.

Our goal is to offer our guests the perfect private holiday home to relax, to enjoy the surrounding nature and views and to have a good base to explore our beautiful country.

All of our houses have a hot tub and everything a cozy and comfortable home needs and are available all year round. We welcome you whether you want to visit during winter to view the Northern Lights or during summer when the nights are bright.

Our houses are different in size, style and location so everyone should be able to find the perfect house for their group to stay at. So whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends, one of our rentals could be the right one for you.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to build a nice holiday home where we could relax and recharge the batteries and we think that´s precisely what we succeeded. Also the short distance to the town Borgarnes, where you can find all necessities, and to the Capital Reykjavík, is a very big advantage.

What makes this property unique

Peacefulness - You can sit outside or walk around the house on the large patio and enjoy the nature and the amazing mountain view in the peaceful surroundings.

High standard and modern – All the equipment in the house is high standard and you should find everything you need and more. The open space and the large windows give you the feeling that you are out in the nature even when you are inside.

Location - The location of the house is ideal for exploring the west side of Iceland. There are short driving distances to many beautiful places in the nature such as waterfalls and craters. Museums and historical places are also nearby. There is only a 15 minutes drive to the nearest town, Borgarnes, where you can find for example a swimming pool, golf course, shops, bakery, restaurants, library and health care.
