Wonderful chalet

The chalet is beautiful, much more beautiful than it looks in the pictures. You can feel the care and love for the house everywhere. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The wood stove was wonderful and there was plenty of wood outside. The surroundings of the house were also beautiful. One of the best places we have ever stayed. Highly recommended. Thank you Johanna!

Incredible cabin

What an absolute pleasure it was to stay at this cabin. The view, the location, and the feeling were perfect. The sisters were quick to respond to any questions and could not have been any more gracious as hosts. This is a place I would come back to without question.

Cozy Little Cabin

We absolutely enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this little cabin out and away from Selfoss! The stove was so nice to keep stoked with a fire for warmth. Johanna and her sisters were very friendly and provided great instructions. We will miss the place!

Golden Iceland Cabin

This was a magical cabin to stay at in the heart of the Golden Circle. Not far from Selfoss and Hveragerði that will have everything that you need. The Sister's were so easy to work with and the views overlooking the river were breathtaking. The hot tub was fabulous and used every day. I was able to see the Northern lights even with a full moon. This is a very special place with a heartfelt memory that you feel as soon as you enter. We were very lucky to stay here.

Inspirational Iceland

The cabin is within easy driving distance to as many Golden Circle attractions as you want to experience. Very cozy accommodation, filled with the aura of family love, complete with all your essential needs for cooking. We loved our short stay here & would like to extend it next time if we are fortunate enough to return again to Iceland.

Fantastic home and location

We wish we had planned more time to simply relax and enjoy this beautiful home. We loved the wood burning stove. While we did not use the hot tub, we surely would have if we weren't out exploring the whole time. We had everything we needed. The hosts were very helpful with information prior to our stay, and check in and check out were seamless. We would easily stay here again!

An Amazing Place

Our stay was absolutely amazing! Johanna and her sisters have a wonderful property with everything you need to relax and unwind during your trip. The sparkling wine upon arrival was a nice touch. We appreciated having plenty of firewood for a nice fire in the evenings and the view over the river was charming. The location is perfect to visit the sights in the Golden Circle without a lot of extra driving or time. We would highly recommend a stay here to everyone.

Perfect Cabin!

This Sisters' cabin was the perfect situation for my fiancé and I to explore the Goldern Circle area and beyond! The cabin itself was very clean, comfy, and cozy. There are grocery stores nearby for anyone looking to cook their own meals, which we did most nights. There are lots of things to see nearby, and this cabin was in a perfect location to see it all. We really enjoyed the fireplace and the outdoor hot tub as well! We faintly saw the northern lights from the cabin one night, and sunrise from the deck was gorgeous! We would definitely return on another trip!

Iceland - A dream came true

This beautiful little cabin helps to enjoy your stay in Iceland much more than without ;-) It is comfortable and cozy with a personal touch of its owners. The new hot tub with its great view is amazing and helps to relax after a long hike. The conversation with the sisters is terrific. You need help or have a question? You get help and an answer immediately. All in all: We enjoyed our stay so much and if we come back to visit the other half of Iceland, we let our trip start here.

Just perfect.

Iceland lived up to all expectations and more, the same can be said about this wonderful lodge in wonderful surroundings. Cosy and warm, well equipped and private with splendid decking overlooking the river with a great hot tub. We can’t thank the sisters enough for enabling us to stay. On the last day we had a great round of golf at a superb friendly club again in spectacular surroundings. All in all superb.

3 nights in Iceland

We got to Iceland in the evening. It was a relative easy drive from the airport considering driving in the dark. The directions provided are spot on. Location is perfect to explore Gulfoss waterfall, the Geysir and Hotsprings all in one day. Sellfoss is 20 minutes drive and offers variety of dinner options. The cabin was everything we could have wished for. Detailed decorations make it very cozy. The fire place inside is a great feature, and there is plenty of firewood provided. We loved to sit in the hot tub while it was snowing. Great cabin in a great location. We would definitely stay again!

Loved our time at cute cabin!

Cabin was small but beautifully sited with sweeping views to the river bend. Remote, yet some neighbors in site. Close to many attractions in south central Iceland. We ventured far and wide from this starting point. Owner was very accommodating. Visitors should check out the city pool in Selfoss. We went swimming every day in Iceland - outdoors! Either in a city pool or hot creeks. Donald Hall, Pasadena, Ca.
