Beautiful and cozy property with all amenities needed. Great location for exploring southern Iceland. Quiet, clean, surrounded by nature, and even had the chance to see the northern lights. Excellent host and overall experience.

About this house rental

This newly renovated little gem is offered for rent since autumn 2015:
One enters the entrance hall with cloakroom and a small but functional kitchenette. From the vestibule, go straight to the shower room with WC. Links goes into it the living room and bedroom. There is a comfortable sofa bed (mattress width 1.60), a table with two chairs and a dresser. The room is bright and friendly and we look Trough the window into nature. The terrace has windbreak to the north and in the summer you can sit nicely with wide views to the southwest and west; down to the river, over the vast plain and the surrounding mountains. Sometimes here grazing horses in the pasture.

The end-cleaning is not included in the price. We offer our guests to book it separately for 50 EUR or save by cleaning themselves.. You are welcome to decide and pay for the end-cleaning during your stay. If end-cleaning is not paid for, the cottage should be left clean and tidy for the next guests. It is also possible to pay for the cleaning through credit card after the stay.

This property lived up to its name - small but mighty. The best thing about it is the location. It is right off of ring road, close to Selfoss and the Golden Circle, but still very quiet and remote. There were beautiful views out each window and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. It had all of the amenities we needed and had a comfortable bed for being a sofa sleeper! There was no actual coffee maker, just an electric tea kettle, pour over coffee dripper with filters or a French press. Thanks to google, I learned how to use the French press which was fine! :) There was a small refrigerator, but no freezer, but because it was still early spring, I just put my ice packs on the porch to keep them cold. The blankets and towels were a little rough and scratchy, but that was no problem either. The location and other amenities, along with the price, made up for that! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Enjoyable place close to everything you need. We saw the Northern Lights two nights in a row with the wide open viewing space. Close to a lots of sights for day trips.

We had a wonderful stay at Petra’s cabin! She had great communication throughout and was incredibly thoughtful — especially when she let us know the Northern Lights were out, which made our trip extra special.The cabin was cozy, clean, and perfect for our getaway. We’d happily stay again!

Fantastic place, quiet, great views, and close to Selfoss with shops and activities. Just a few kilometers from the famous "Golden Circle." The accommodation is very clean and tidy. Petra is an exceptional host, very kind and helpful. We needed help with the car, and she was available immediately. We've been traveling around Iceland for a while now, and this is the best accommodation. A 5, but I'd rate it 10. Highly recommended.
