About this property
Luxury House with a Cozy Guesthouse + Hot Tub close to Snæfellsnes National Park
Our houses, Bakki and Holt, are the perfect base for your Icelandic holiday. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsnes National Park with a snow scooter trip on top of the amazing Snæfellsjökull glacier, a visit to a natural hot spring like Deildartunguhver, or amazing waterfall like Hraunfossar. Other interesting places to visit are, the active volcano Grábrók, the crater Eldborg, historical viking landmark Reykholt, and taking a walk into the glacier Langjökull. You can stroll through the nearby cozy town of Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the capital Reykjavík with all its glory, nightlife and culture. Make a day trip on the Golden Circle and see the exploding Geysir with all its natural power, and drop by the historic Thingvellir National Park, and view close up the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. In the evenings you will always come back home to this modern architecturally designed house in Helluskógur and probably the first thing you will do is, relax in the hot tub with a glass of red wine and enjoy the Northern Lights in the peace and quietness after a memorable day.
The newer house was built in 2012. It has an open kitchen-living room with a large kitchen island. It is very spacious and ideal for family and friends preparing a good meal together. The kitchen has all necessary tableware and high quality equipment for cooking and baking. The living room has floor to ceiling windows and an amazing view. Even if you are inside it feels like you are still completely connected to nature. In the living room you will find books and magazines to read, films to watch on the large flat screen TV and a piano to play on. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable with high quality beds and a beautiful view. The bathroom is spacious with a long wooden countertop and a large shower room.
The design of the house is outstanding and well thought out. It has floor to ceiling windows, open space, hardwood floor, natural stone tiles, designed lighting and with one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly floor heating systems installed in houses today. The heating system is perfect and we can guaranty you a warm and cozy house in the winter time.
The smaller cabin was built in a traditional, Icelandic summerhouse way. It is well constructed and insulated. It is warm and cozy all year round with all necessities and comfort. The house has an open kitchen-living room area. In the kitchen there is all the table ware and equipment you need for cooking, baking, and serving a lovely meal. The living room has a great corner sofa and a large flat screen TV and films to watch. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable with great quality beds. Free WIFI.
The houses are only 30 meters apart, connected by a nice walking path. Both houses have large terraces, each with a hot tub that fits up to 7 people, barbecue grill and comfortable outdoor seating. They are perfect for making a good meal and relaxing in the peaceful environment. Beside both houses are grass lawns surrounded by a birch forrest, ideal for kids to play.
Both houses have FREE WIFI, a large flat screen TV, a dishwasher, a washing machine, books, and everything between. See detailed facility and equipment below.
