Wonderful stay! The home was comfortable with plenty of space. The location was perfect to explore the Snaefelsness area, Borgarnes and Langjokull Glacier. Host was great with communication. We would definitely stay again.
The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The layout of the house is very nice, there were some toys and games for the kids to play with and a separate TV. We enjoyed the hot tub and the overall space available inside. We were lucky to see an amazing Northern Light show on two different nights!
This is our second stay at this lovely home and we enjoyed it just as much this time as we did last year! Thoughtful touches like a full length mirror and makeup mirror as well as everything needed for cooking and very cozy beds. You won't be disappointed!
The place was easy to find with directions and was perfect. The boys and my husband used the hot tub, it was clean and worked well. There was a handy outdoor shower. We are a family of 8 and we fit great. There are plenty of dishes and a nice sized kitchen. We would be happy to stay here again, the house was lovely.
This place is beautiful. Has the perfect layout for a small group, great amenities, and is secluded and quiet, while still not too far out of town. Would definitely go back again.
Our family spent 2 nights here while we explored the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Location was great, house was very clean and well supplied. Beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was an added bonus after a long day! We would absolutely stay there again.
The house is beautiful and exactly as appears in the photos. Four adult friends stayed at this lovely rural location that is wonderful for a quiet and extremely comfortable stay near all of the beauty of west Iceland. The rooms and hot tub were exceptionally clean and in perfect functioning. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything that we needed. The host provided us with exquisite helpful details, communicated promptly when needed, but also gave us complete privacy. We were able to see the Northern Lights several times from the deck! We all agreed that we would be happy to stay there again. :)
We absolutely loved this house. The land and property were beautiful. The living space was open which helped a lot for our family. The whole family enjoyed the hot tub and sunsets as well. We would love to return one day!
We had a group of 8 coming from the US. House was great!!! Very clean! Host communicated great before arrival. Had all the necessities plus extras available!
Coming from the US, we were pleasantly surprised to find this home had everything we have at home, making for a comfortable stay. House is spacious, clean and has ample room for 5-6 people. A peaceful setting with tons of privacy, great views too. Host was responsive to any question we had. Would absolutely stay here again and HIGHLY recommend!
We stayed at this property for 4 nights and absolutely loved it. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed, even plastic plates/cups for kids, children's books and the toys for the kids were a really nice touch. The one time I contacted the owners during our stay the response was almost immediate. I would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!
Great property for 6 of us. Prompt responses from property owner when we needed general assistance. Very clean, spacious, nicely equipped with all you wouldnneed
We booked a week in November ‘24 for
my 80th birthday bucket list to see the Aurora. Although weak we did see it several times. Perfect beautiful house and location. Very highly recommend this place. Iceland scenery is a “wow” round every corner!!
My family stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our holiday Iceland trip from the states. The host had great communication and was very prepared with check in and home instructions. The place was very clean and we felt very comfortable during our stay. We only wished we stayed a little longer to be able to see all the sights in the area. Would definitely recommend renting this home for an experience outside of the city.
Beautiful property. We were able to enjoy the Northern Lights 6 out of 7 nights. The property is private and has excellent windows in all directions for viewing.

Beautiful home in a great location!
This was the perfect place for our family to end our two weeks in Iceland! The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable and very well-equipped. It's so peaceful, and the views are spectacular. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, and the view from the hot tub is amazing. Definitely would come back, and highly recommend it!

Thank you for a nice review and welcome back to any of our houses It´s important for us that our guests get all available information, and its easy for us since we are from here and love to travel as well... :-) Sincerely, Heidi and Rob
Plenty of room for 7 adults to spread out. Fantastic windows and comfortable gathering space. New kitchen and appliances making it very easy to prepare meals.
This place was great accommodations. Wish we would have stayed at this location longer. Hot tub was nice, bathrooms were updated, kitchen had ample room to cook and plenty of utensils.
The owners were very nice and communicative. Even helped us navigate a storm, when our next location was not very helpful.
Just an exquisite home -- beautifully designed, clean, and well maintained -- that's in the perfect location for exploring the Snaefellsness Peninsula! It's an easy drive to both the north and south coasts that take you to some of Iceland's most iconic locales. Borganes is an easy 10-minute drive to get provisions. We were a group of seven, including three school-age kids, and the home gave us more than enough room for both private and gathering space, and the kids loved playing outside. The kitchen is well equipped (a must for me -- the cook!), and the hot tub was a welcome amenity at the end of a long day of hiking and exploring. Another sensory bonus is the mountain vista out the front door -- watch for sunsets!

About the host
Hosted by Heiðrún Hafliðadóttir
We have been building up our Vacation rental business in the last few years and now we own many amazing modern Vacation rentals located in the West and South of Iceland, for our guests to enjoy.
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 offer to our guests 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 and Stykkishólmur, 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.
