Lovely relaxing well appointed lodge. Hot tub great (also has a sauna but we didn’t use). Good location for the surrounding attractions.

Please update the photos of the exterior. We spent a very long time trying to find the proper house because the property photo is white in the listing and is dark brown and wooden in actuality. Otherwise our stay was perfect

The cottage is off the beaten track, but not isolated or remote. It’s easy to find, just a few minutes off the main ring road but so, so quiet and peaceful. It is very clean, well equipped, warm and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the beds are comfortable.
The upstairs loft bedroom is probably only suitable for children as the ladder stairs are steep and there is low head room.
The hot tub was such a warm welcoming treat after along day sightseeing.
We had the most amazing holiday. The cottage is within easy reach of many of the main sights and there is a supermarket about 15 mins away.
We had an unforgettable holiday and we are already planning our return trip next year.

This cabin is really well located in a secluded countryside setting only 10 minutes away from a village. The setting is really peaceful and serene. The location is great for exploring the south of Iceland.
The cabin was comfortable and cozy. The beds were very comfortable and my daughter loved the upstairs bedroom.
The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook for ourselves. There were lots of different entertainment options; DVD's, games and a great chess board.
The accommodation is highly recommended - we had a great stay!

Clean, comfortable and quiet location close to Hella with central access to southern Iceland’s best attractions.
5.0
The house is spotlessly clean, cozy and comfortable, warm and friendly. The next houses are a few hundred meters away, so you have much privacy. We especially enjoyed the sauna and the hot tub every day and made tours to the sights in the southwest of Iceland. This was our second stay in this House and we would love to come back one day.

Very comfortable cottage with nothing missing. Wonderful sauna and shower, so nice to relax in. Comfortable bed and great kitchen for cooking. Easy check in. Quiet and private, close to Hwy 1.
5.0
We loved the cottage and it‘s surrounding. It is remote but still not that out in the nowhere with lovely birds around and if you are lucky, with aurora nights as well :)
The house is perfectly cozy with the nice amenities mentioned in the title. We stayed for 2 weeks and would definitely book it again: it was a perfect match!
5.0
The home was easy to locate, near town for quick trips to grocery store. Extremely clean and well appointed. Make sure you understand that bathhouse means the shower is in a building not attached to main house. Bringing robes and flip flops would help. We had a lot of laughter running from bathhouse to main house in the snow and sleet. Many great experiences and memories were made here. Would definitely stay again upon a return trip.
5.0
This place is a lovely cottage for prime Northern Lights viewing. Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, hot tub and surrounding highlights. We were fortunate to see the Northern Lights from the hot tub three of our four nights. The kitchen was stocked enough for cooking full meals, the beds are very comfortable, the bathroom floors are heated. The outdoor sauna is also great.

The host couldnt of been more helpful and the cabin was just perfect. We loved the hot tub and sauna was such a treat. Memories that will last a lifetime made here :)

This home experience was perfect. Great communication with the owner, easy check-in and out, we used the sauna and hot-tub almost every evening, and we saw the Aurora Borealis on 3 evenings : ) A very comfortable home for our family of 6 and a great location to see all of the usual sights in the south and also up to the Geyser and Laugarvatn Spa. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Iceland again we'd certainly stay here again!

We absolutely loved this beautiful place! The house was perfect for my kids and I to come home to after a long day of adventures and relax. It was set up with everything we could need and very comfy to hang out in when we needed down time. Highly recommend!

The location worked out well. The house was clean and cozy. Having a gor tube and sauna was a bonus! We would come back for sure.
4.0
Great home with nice outdoor space. The stairs to get to the upstairs loft are very steep and ceiling low. Best for kids and no window covering for summer. It should be noted that to access the shower you need to go outside to the sauna house. Overall we enjoyed our stay and great amenities.

Fabulous Home, Amazing Location
This place is a must stay! It had everything you would need for a jump off point to explore Iceland. You can’t beat the location and the sauna is such a perk! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting.

Very comfortable, well-equipped rental property, with luxury features, hot tub and sauna. Private and secluded. Owner very communicative and flexible. Good selection of interesting and useful books on Iceland. Highly recommended. The area is not itself enormously scenic but it is centrally located so you can visit many interesting sights with a relatively short car journey.

This was such a great spot! It feels so remote, but very convenient to the Ring Road. We loved sitting in the hot tub in the evenings listening to the birds and looking for Northern Lights. Our kids enjoyed running around the yard and exploring the amazing gorge behind the home. The views of Hekla are beautiful!
It was a perfect home base for exploring the south coast from Reykjavik to Vik. Very cozy home and well-stocked kitchen, Arnar even left us some Easter chocolates and a couple of beers in the fridge! He was very attentive. I would say it might be a bit tricky to find the house in the dark, but we had no issues and check-in was very simple. We loved our stay here!

We had a wonderful time! The house was beautiful and private. We were able to sit on the back deck with a cup of coffee and listen to the birds and the stream, while taking in the surrounding scenery. The house had everything you could need and was had enough space for a family of 4 ( kids 17 and 19). The bathhouse/ sauna and jacuzzi were a definite hit! When we had issues with our departure date, Arnarson was very accommodating and allowed us to add a night at the last minute and he was very gracious about it. We will be recommending his home to our friends and family!

Because of the central location of the house, we were able to see many sites along the southern coast and the golden circle within a 4 day stay. Owner was very responsive. The house was comfortable after a long cold day of hiking. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub! One half bath inside and full bathroom was outside but not a problem. It was close to groceries, gas and wine!

A great find
Great accommodation, would highly recommend. The owner Arnar was really helpful, gave us some great advice and helped out with the loan of a 4x4 when we were hit by a severe winter storm. We used the home as a base from which to explore south west Iceland. Great coffee machine as well.
5.0
This cottage was very good, gives space to at least 5-6 persons easily. The Sauna and the Hot Tub were a very good thing after the excursions and as well all inside the cottage was well organized and prepared. On top of it the host Arnar was always available for questions and the like.
Renting of this cottage is highly recommended from my side…😊

This is a really special place
This property was exactly what we were looking for. It's close enough to grocery stores, the wine shop, the gas station. But far enough away that the stars and northern lights are bright, and city sounds are distant. We cooked almost every meal, and the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. My wife had to work some, and the wifi is strong enough for streaming and for video calls. I really loved our nine nights there, and Arnar was communicative when I had a question about the hot tub. It's really special, and I hope to someday make it back.

Secluded yet close to many amenities such as food and attractions such as the Lava Centre. This house is a great home base for visiting sights in south Iceland (Selfoss to Vik) and the Golden Circle. The house was immaculate! Clean, organized and staged very well for arrival. It was perfect for aurora viewing! My wife and I stayed up in the loft which has a large window with a view of the north. It was awesome to be able to check from inside if there was auroral activity instead of having to go out in the cold. We saw our best display of the northern lights in this house due to a lack of light noise from the surrounding area. The owner was very responsive to questions or issues that came up. He made sure the road was cleared before our arrival. We would have been in trouble if he hadn't. We still had a hard time getting in and out with our 4x4. The only complaint I have is that I wish it was more clear in the property description that the shower is out in the separate sauna building. We had to walk through snow on the deck to get there to take showers. Even with this inconvenience I totally recommend this home.
5.0
This was a fantastic holiday lodge in the middle of the countryside with only a few other lodges in the area, very well equipped, watch the hot tub temperature as it can get too hot, even when it’s -9c outside. This lodge is remote and would recommend picking up groceries en route, there are a good selection of seasonings and basic house hold cleaning products, gas bbq on the deck in the evening was brilliant. Would we stay again? YES no hesitation.Thank you Arnar
