Our stay was fantastic. The property was clean and very accommodating, and the host was very receptive and responsive to any needs. I would absolutely stay here again!!
My family of 5 used this as our base camp while we explored the southern portion of the island. This house is secluded yet close to attractions and town! The house is well stocked for anything you can think of!This place is perfect for anyone that doesn't want to rent a camper and drive the entire ring road. Selfoss is a 20 minute drive and the hot tub was absolutely perfect after a day of hiking and exploring!
Location and check-in instructions were correct and easy to follow. The owner responded very quickly to all questions with helpful info. The property was as described and comfortable. Definitely would stay again. Thank you!
Being our first time in Iceland, we didn't know what to expect. Everything was perfect from the weather to the cottage. The cottage was exactly how it was described. We never needed to contact the owner.since clear instructions
were left. Check in and out was easy. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day of site seeing. We can't wait to return.
My husband and I stayed for about a week here and we had the best time. The house was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable, just as pictured. It was the perfect location for visiting the golden circle and south Iceland. We had a bad storm one night and the host reached out beforehand to let us know that the roads would be dangerous. Couldn’t ask for a kinder host. We loved every minute of our trip. Thank you for opening your home to us.
Everything was just perfect about our stay! Our host was very accessible prior to, during, and after our stay. She offered helpful tourism information from weather to sights to proper gear to bring for the season. The property itself was cozy while still offering a fun, spacious loft for my 10-year old to sleep in and a detached guesthouse (with a second toilet) for my teenagers who preferred more privacy. The setting was close to all the major tourist sites but far enough out into the countryside that we had the necessary darkness to view the northern lights (twice!) during our stay. The hot tub was an additional bonus after a busy day of sightseeing. I highly recommend this property to anyone!
Perfect property for a family stay in Iceland. Located minutes from the Krater, and within the Golden Circle it was a perfect stay. Perfect for a family.
Great location away from busy areas. This was a good base for Golden Circle and day trip to South Coast. Clean and comfortable. Could use a few more towels. Enjoyed the views from the house.
This was our second time in Iceland and love the location of this cottage. Selfoss is close for grocery and food, but the cottage is just far enough out of town to enjoy nature! Highly recommend!
All was perfect, nothing bad to mention
The kitchen had everything we needed
Beds were fantastic, for both young adults and elderly
We stayed 4 people and had enough room for it to be cozy thw whole week
10/10 - would recommend anytime
We had a very pleasant stay with a very easy Check-in and Check-out. All important was given by the owner or was discribed in the folder on site.
Would definitely recommend the cottage to others.
We loved our stay here! The location was great for seeing the Golden Circle, and was less than an hour from Reykjavik. The house was clean and tidy, and have a hot tub was nice after a lot of hiking. Absolutely no issues with the property and I would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Iceland!
The property was immaculately clean, and spacious. The cooktop is only two burners, but this is more than made up for by the Nespresso coffee maker, the microwave and bake oven, and a very well functioning Weber barbecue.We all enjoyed the sparkling, clean, hot tub.While a 20 minute drive from Selfoss, this location was perfect for us for tours to Grindvik, Geysir, Thingvellir, Vik and the multiple beautiful waterfalls.
Loved staying here. We only had one unplanned surprise. We may have missed this in the listing but the instructions ask you to take all your trash with you. We drove hours with our son holding a full bag of trash until we found a place to dispose of it. We actually named our bag since he travelled with us for so long. Other than our bag of trash, it was a nice stay.
Lots of space, plenty of sleeping arrangement room, very user-friendly kitchen outdoor lounge and lots of space outdoors to lounge.
We found this location in the center of everything we wanted to do. We drove five hours north to the whale watching capital of the world ( saw dozens of humpbacks ), drove two hours to the east to walk on glaciers and ride on ATVs over black lava sand beaches , an hour from the ferry south to vestmannaer and a superb waterfall , An hour north to Snorkel between the tectonic plates, and about two hours from Rekjavik, blue lagoon, and the airport.
We stayed for 4 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The house is very private and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and the coffee Nespresso pods were very much appreciated! We forgot our travel tempur-pedic topper, but we ended up not needing it because the beds were so comfortable. Be careful in the shower, I hit the handle while washing my hair and was surprised with cold water. I changed my position after that to prevent that from happening again. :) It was great to have a washer in the unit and handy to have the drying rack. Overall, we had enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again in then future! Thanks for everything!
We loved this little cottage; it was perfect for the three of us! The living area was bright and warm, the beds were wonderfully comfortable, and the showerhead felt like a massage. The kitchen was well stocked with all essentials & my husband was able to use the gas grill without issue a few times. We appreciated the washing machine and drying rack – that saved us miles on the rental car and time out of our day(s) trying to find a laundromat. We never got around to using the hot tub, so I cannot comment on that, but the community the cottage is in was so peaceful and quiet – no cars or trucks rumbling by or other noise distractions. We heard nothing but the birds and the breeze in the trees.
We were very close to many of the highlights on the Ring Road – from Kerið Crater four miles away all the way out to the black sand beach in Vik, which was two hours away. We were able to see everything listed in “What’s Nearby” and much more.
Brynhildur is a terrific host, answering our questions without delay. She has a gem in this cottage, and I would love the opportunity to rent again when we return to Iceland!
Das Objekt entspricht vollumfänglich den Angaben und Beschreibungen der Homepage.Einen Stern Abzug gibt es von uns für den verschmutzten Backofen, vermutlich waren es neben den starken Verkrustungen auch Pizza-Reste. Auch wenn wir den Backofen selbst nicht genutzt haben, wurde durch uns alles in einen ordentlichen Zustand gebracht.Ansonsten gibt es keine Beanstandungen und bei gutem Wetter ist auch der nicht einsehbare Gartenbereich gut nutzbar.Sehr positiv war die sehr gute kommunikative Betreuungnebst der Tipps (inklusive Himmelfahrt) durch die Familie Gosewisch als Vermieter! Hierfür möchten wir uns herzlich bedanken!
Großartiges Haus, allerdings für 10 pers. zu klein
Es war sauber, gemütlich und das Bett war sehr bequem. Für 10 Personen wäre nur eine Dusche und der Esstisch etwas klein. Wir waren zu 5 und es war sehr schön. Es gibt einen schönen warmen Whrilpool und sogar einen Grill (den wir nicht benutzt haben)

In der Tat ein gemütliches Haus: bequem für 4-6 Personen. Gut ausgestattet, in angenehmer Umgebung. Das Jacuzzi ist ein besonderes Higlight. Gerne wieder!
Fantastic place for celebrating a special birthday with my family!
We loved our week in Iceland. The cottage was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable. Being remote it was a brilliant place to see the Northern lights which was fantastic from the hot tub! Lots of exciting places to visit within 2hrs driving. Selfoss good for supermarket shopping only 20 mins away. The only improvement to the property would be for hot water and shower in the guest lodge, there were 7 adults in our party so there was often a queue for the shower. However, the shower was good and there was plenty of hot water. The kitchen was really well equipped with a nice big fridge and dishwasher. Having all the essentials like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, soap, cleaning products, tea, coffee, salt pepper etc made it even better. Brynhidur was always quick at answering our questions and even left us birthday chocolates. A great place to stay -thank you so much!
