A beautiful three story farmhouse set in the heart of rural Grims-nes in the South of Iceland. The house sleeps 20 people. Very well located for day trips in the South of Iceland. Away from the light pollution you may during the winter time see the northern lights (auroras borealis) dance all over the sky.

The house provides everything you need for a wonderful holiday. A house with cosy and peaceful atmosphere.
The house was built in 1962 as a farmhouse, there was a family who ran a farm on the land until the late 90's. The house has been newly renovated but is still in an old Icelandic farm style and is not like a 100% new house, we ask our guests to have in mind that this is a very rare property up for rent and please treat it as so.
The kitchen is well equipped with a fridge with ice maker.
The house has a 4G WiFi router, the speed is around 40 to 50 mbps, but it is over 4G so it can vary a bit, but it has worked great for us.
Our swimming pool is newly built, the pool and the house is heated by our own natural geothermal hot water comes from a 800 meter deep borehole 100 meters from the house. So the heat is 100% natural. The pool will be warm/hot in the winters and in summer time we can have it as our guests prefer, at most it will be around 37°c / 99°f, this is at the most.
Our guest will have the whole farmland for them selves, it is as private as it gets, the house is located on a private 700 acres land, the land includes mountains, lake and more.
We will be one phone call away the whole time.
The owners reserve the right to enter the land for the purposes of looking after the horses, maintenance and to fish in the lake but they will be discreet about it and not cause you any disturbance.
Our family own Icelandic horses and they live on our land, there are also wild sheep on although they are fenced in a part of the land.
The house is located near a lake and we offer 4 fishing rods for our guests, there is wild fish in the lake.
The house is located in the Golden Circle area witch is the one of the top tourist attractions in Iceland.
From the capital Reykjavik it takes one hour to drive to Goltur and from the international airport in Keflavik it takes 1 ½ hour to drive to Goltur.
The farmhouse is in 20 minutes drive from Selfoss where you will find all kinds of stores and services.

The property was beautiful. I could have spent the entire week exploring the grounds, fishing, and swimming. We had a family reunion with ages ranging from 7 to 70 and everyone loved it. I can’t overstate how perfect everything was. Thank you!

I rented this property for 19 of us, all family, to stay for one week. It was the perfect property for kids of all ages. Although it was remote, there was easy accessibility to Selfoss for groceries, the Golden Circle for sightseeing, the south coast for exploring, and the property itself was perfect for downtime. The pool was luxurious, clean and perfectly heated. The house itself accommodated all 19 of us easily. It was also clean, well appointed and stocked. We had an incredible family reunion, and I am definitely recommending this house to my friends for the future. The owners were lovely and easy to communicate with. And I cannot forget the horses! They were so sweet and fun for our little girls to pet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this farmhouse north of Selfoss. Plenty of bedrooms and lots of space for our extended family gathering. We loved searching for the horses each day when coming and going and the kids spent so much time in the pool. It was so warm and the great way to end our sightseeing days.

Our family, kids and grandkids decided to come to Iceland for a unique vacation. We never thought we would find a house large enough for all 17 of us. It is hard to tell from pictures about the size but when we arrived and saw this property and all the amenities they gave us a standing ovation! Large kitchen with dining table, two refrigerators and very well equipped. The living room was very comfortable and big enough for everyone to sit for family time. The bedrooms are very nice and good size the beds and linens are beautiful. Showers and toilets worked out fine. The owner was very responsive when with every question we had. He also put us in contact with an Icelandic chef who came to the house and prepared an Icelandic meal for us explains about traditional Icelandic food and giving us a new modern twist to every dish. Everyone loved, loved feeding the horses every day, we spent more on bread and carrots for them then we did for the family. The geothermal pool was the absolute best, being in the pool in the rain was delightful, we took full advantage of this amenity. Although the farm is isolated it was easy to get to various sites. Sulfoss is
about 15 minutes away and has shops, grocery store, liquor store and some fabulous eating places. Highly recommend Gulfur farm for family vacations.
