About this house rental
The House is located in Árnes, only 5 min drive from the house you are in Árnes, where you can find Gas Station, mini market and shop, there is also a small and cosy swimming pool and a soccer field. In Árnes you can find Þjórsárstofa visiting center for tourists where you can find information about the area.
From Árnes you can drive further and find one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, Gjáin. You can also find waterfalls Hjálparfoss , Háifoss and Granni , Háifoss height is 122m and is the fourth highest waterfall in Iceland.
Town Flúðir is only 10 min away, where you can find Secret Lagoon, swimming pool, small grocery store, and Vínbúð ( liquor store ).
Town Reykholt is also close by, there you have the popular tomato farm Friðheimar ( one of the most popular place to go on the golden circle ). Farm Efstidalur is also not far away, there is a nice restaurant and homemade made ice cream. Laugavatn is also not far away, there you have Fontana ( sauna place ). And of course the highlight of the Golden Circle Gullfoss and Geysir is close by. It's a great place in the Icelandic countryside.
Our house has 3 bedrooms, each bedroom has a Double bed ( 140x200 cm ). Then we have 2 foldable single beds ( 90x200cm ) that can be placed in the bedrooms ( one per bedroom ) or in the living room. We have two bathrooms, both with nice showers and the bathroom next to the master bedroom has an infrared Sauna. Kitchen is fully loaded with everything you need.
Outside we have Hot Pot / Jazzuci.
In the living room we have a fireplace, it's NOT a normal fireplace where you burn wood .. it's not used to heat the house, the house is heated with hot water that runs in the floors. The fireplace is a gas fireplace but it's not working at the moment after one of our guests damaged it. Instead you can use the Tenderflame unit that we have ( see picture ) and you can light candles to have a cosy evening in the living room ( see picture )
During winter time it's a good location to see the Aurora / Northern lights ( if the weather condition is right ), you can see two pictures of the Aurora lights, taken outside the house by one of our guests.
We have a baby crib and high chair for your children.
We provide linen, towels and soap etc.
We manage over 100 properties here in Iceland, most of them in the Reykjavik area and also few outside of Reykjavik. Please let us know if you would like to split your stay, some nights in Reykjavik and some outside of Reykjavik. We also offer long term renting.

Super easy check in, great communication with the host, even got to check in a bit warly which was super awesome. Only downside was the hot tub which was ice cold. got to use it an hour before we left but other than that the property is isolated and beautiful and in a great location. Would definitely recommend!!

Everything was excellent and exactly as described in the write up. We enjoyed the house immensely for our girls trip. These pictures of the northern lights were taken behind the house!

We had a quiet, comfortable stay at this well-located home near Selfoss—perfect for exploring the Golden Circle, Selfoss, and Westman Islands. Check-in was easy, and the house layout was spacious and functional. The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances, drinkware, and cutlery, and there were plenty of essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen, except for trash bags (easily purchased nearby).The bathrooms were clean, though both showers had some mildew—likely due to the house being very warm on arrival. It cooled quickly with windows open, and we felt safe even sleeping with them open.Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, though the living room TV’s smart features were unreliable. The hot tub was a highlight, with easy access from the master bathroom. Washer and dryer were convenient, though the dryer controls were hard to interpret.The host was responsive to non-urgent messages. Departure info was limited, but we understood we needed to take trash to a nearby drop-off.Minor wear (e.g., a freezer handle and small flooring damage) didn’t affect our stay. The area was peaceful, with the lovely sound of birds and sightings of Icelandic horses nearby.The listing was very accurate, and the guest book was both helpful and entertaining. Patio furniture and an EV charger would be great future additions. We'd gladly stay here again.

Nice location and private. Kitchen has too many junky utensils and was disorganized. The closets were filled with the owners personal effects. Wish they were locked away.
