The property is about 15-20 minutes north of Selfoss where you can get most things you would need for a self catering holiday. The location also means that most of the Golden Circle spots are not far away and we even drove down to Diamond Beach and back in a day, which was a journey never to be forgotten for its superb scenery and iceberg boat trip. The house is easy to find even if down a track off the main road (Google maps will take to the the track that is now blocked, so you need the other one about 30m further north). There is ample parking for up to 3 cars. When we went into the house it looked far better than the photos, especially the deck out over the river which was superb (on a nice day!). The views from the kitchen window and the lounge were also wonderful. One reason I chose this house is that it seemed to be far more nicely furnished than many others I had looked at in the area and we were not let down by the reality. Even though the description said 5 bathrooms, there were only in fact 2 shower rooms (one en suite and the other a family bathroom - the other 3 were hand basins off each twin room), however this was never a problem and there were 6 adults in our family. The kitchen is well equipped and the huge lounge is great for relaxing after a long day's hiking, horse riding or whatever. The TV had Netflix. There are blinds on each window that are effective (you need them if it never gets dark). The sauna was a hit as was the hot tub outside, again with superb views. Communication from the owners (Vala) was quick and she was always very helpful. Our children (very fussy and frank in their views) thought this was the best place we have stayed in so far, which is saying something as I always try and find nice houses wherever we go as a family. Overall I would recommend this property highly to families coming to sample the true wonders of Iceland's scenery - the house is spacious and very cosy on colder days.

nothing in particular to mention.. the 4pm check in was something I didnt like. Some places in Keflavik have a check in time of 3 pm.

location is an isolated cottage overlooking beautiful landscape. There was a hot tub, that we used, and a sauna room. it has washer and dryer, which was great.

You have to call the gate from your phone to open it. A remote would have been better. I recommended to owner and they are going to look into it! There were no directions to sauna. But owners did respond when we emailed them. Master bedroom was huge and luxurious, but the other 3 bedrooms had limited floor space to leave suitcases open. If only one person is using room, there is plenty of space. It is just tight with two to a room in the smaller bedrooms. Nevertheless, I still recommend renting it.

It was very comfortable. It was right on a river and had a beautiful patio and hot tub overlooking the river. It also had a sauna. We saw Northern Lights 3 times. Home was just out of Selfoss, so there was no city light, ensuing magical Northern lights. The master bedroom was huge and luxurious. The pull down window covers on all rooms totally blocked outside light, which was great for sleeping. The beds were more comfortable than my bed at home! We stayed 8 days and drove to sightseeing events. This was much better than checking in to a new place each night. Wifi was great. We had 6 people staying there and each had several devices. WE had no connectivity problems. If I had to go back and do it again, I would definitely rent this home. I will always remember this luxurious place.

the best place

That being said, when we arrived to the house our first impression was not good. We are a group of 6 that had been traveling for over 24+ hours at this point, when we walked in you could visibly tell the place looked clearly “lived in” to the point we thought we went to the wrong house maybe. After confirming we were in the right location, we were surprised that it was left like that but also that no one came to check this before next guests arrived. anyways we simply called the point of contact given and were told they would send cleaners over as soon as possible and sorry that it was an accident. They offered us to drive/go to another one of their locations for a picnic while they cleaned, at this point it was already 6pm we had just got back from grocery shopping to cook dinner so we declined and said we would just wait until they were done to cook as we really wanted to just settle and rest. When the cleaners came, one of them apologized again followed by “it happens you know!” and while we appreciated them coming right away to have her try to make light of the situation with 6 exhausted travelers was not appreciated. We were additionally asked to still leave for an hour so they could get it done then come back after which we did. 7pm at this point the place looked much better. We were able to enjoy a nice sunset, cook a meal together, use the sauna and hot tub which were all things we really wanted to do at this spot. We were surprised no one followed up to check in again or ask us the next day how it was going - we took pictures of what this place looked like when we arrived (will attach if possible) At the minimum, we expected to be reached out to/compensated in some way as we were not able to actually stay in our place until 3 hours after our supposed check in time. Overall, though the location was beautiful we would likely not stay here again based on how this situation was managed and handled afterwards.

We enjoyed our time in Selfoss, the destination of this place was secluded and the views were truly beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna time most - sunset as well.
