Homes on the range

Absolutely gorgeous place, good Internet to help overcome no TV. The reviews about how responsive and nice the owner is are right on point.

Country side retreat

It's quite place and beautiful view. When it was heavy snow there, the property asked us to take care and support anything necessary. It’s also good for family.

Wonderful stay

My only wish was that we got to stay longer! We absolutely loved our stay in the cabin. The location near the river was amazing- I couldn’t pull myself away from the view on the front porch and out of the front windows. The check in process was extremely easy and the host was amazing. Very clean and had everything we needed! We will recommend the cabins as a must-stay location to any friends who want to visit Iceland.

Cabin on the horse farm with river view

Our place was far enough off the main road to feel remote,but close enough to be easily accessible to places we wanted to go. Our owner was amazing. Responded quickly and very personable.

Perfect little house with lovely views

I loved staying in this impeccably maintained house filled with light from windows on every side looking out out on pastures of grazing horses and sheep. Excellent location to explore the south coast within easy distance of sites, markets and restaurants. Renate was very responsive to every inquiry and left nothing wanting. We will be back and will plan a ride on some of their beautiful ponies. Overal- just love

Serene Views in Cozy Cabin

Upon arrival, we were impressed by the beautiful landscapes. The cabin itself was clean and modern. From the central space, one window offered a view of Icelandic horses. The other was nearly floor to ceiling where we caught sight of the Northern Lights. Renate was quick to respond and help us when we reached out. The guidebook in the cottage has helpful information as well. The cottage is in good proximity to Reykjavik and close to Ring Road for those planning to drive it. If you’re looking to escape to a slice of natural paradise, I highly recommend staying here- we had an amazing time!

Perfectly cozy

Overall a beautiful picturesque property with all the details to make a very special experience in the Icelandic countryside. The experience of seeing the Aurora from the front porch could not have been more stunning. We originally thought this space had two bedrooms as listed but the second bedroom describes the living/dinning/kitchen where there is a pull out couch. My family of 5 needed a little time to get use to the close quarters but the space is layer out so well to make it quite comfortable and cozy. I especially appreciate Renate offering to bring down a fold out cot to make the sleeping arrangements more comfortable. We all slept well and had a great stay.

Wonderful!

A friend and I planned to visit Iceland for a week, focusing on the southern part of the country. We decided to stay in one spot and do day trips, and we settled on this cottage. We wanted a place in the country away from city or town lights, but still not too far from civilization. The cottage was perfect! It is small but comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed to prepare breakfast and a packed lunch. The beds are comfortable and we slept soundly, even on very windy nights. (It can get quite windy in Iceland but the cottage was free of drafts or cold spots.) Renate, our host, was very responsive to my questions, and provided helpful information. The view from the cottage is beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sheep! We were able to easily visit Reykjavik, sights on the Golden Circle, waterfalls on the way to Vik, and Vestmannaeyjabær (the Westman Islands). Selfoss is just about 30 minutes away, so handy for groceries and restaurants. To sum up, the location is great and the cottage is comfortable and clean with an excellent host! I highly recommend it.

House on the river

This is super peaceful and yet close to so many things to see! The town is Selfoss is just a few minutes down the road and in the other direction, all the splendor of the south coast waterfalls await. The house is very clean and well outfitted for a comfortable stay. I plan on returning to this property.

Memorable Quiet Country Stay

We enjoyed a weekend stay with easy access for day trips to Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and Vik, which allowed us to see many of the top sites in Iceland while staying in quiet, beautiful country scenery. The house was well-appointed and perfectly sized for our family of three. Would recommend to a friend!

Beautiful countryside get-away

Lovely cabin near so many Iceland highlights! Hosting was thoughtful and thorough, lots of great details to this shared space. We greatly enjoyed watching the sun set on the flock and herd in the valley. What a delightful gift of a home 😃

Super Unterkunft für Ausflüge im Süden / Region Hella

Wir hatten zu Dritt einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Häuschen ist sehr schön eingerichtet und ausgestattet mit allem was man benötigt. Dazu kommt der wunderbareAusblick auf den Fluss, Schafe und Pferde :-). Mit der Ausrichtung des Hauses kann man Abends den Sonnenuntergang über dem Fluss genießen. Auch konnten wir wunderbar Polarlichter beobachten, dank der clever positionierten Fenster auch aus dem Stockbett im Schlafzimmer. Definitiv eine sehr schöne Unterkunft, beim nächsten Island- Urlaub im Süden fest auf der Liste!

Urlaub im Ferienhaus

Das Ferienhaus war gemütlich, der Blick über den Fluss einmalig schön und unsere Enkelin durfte durch die Landschaft reiten. Für sie war das das Highlight des Urlaubs. Sehenswürdigkeiten am Goldenen Kreisel und Reykjavik sind schnell erreichbar.

traumhafte Unterkunft!

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr sehr gut gefallen. Das Haus war top ausgestattet. Besonders die Lage war bezaubernd. Der Blick in die Abendsonne, auf den Fluss, die Schafe und Pferde war unbezahlbar schön. Ebenso haben uns die Reitstunden gut gefallen. Die Pferde waren artig und die Begleitung durch die Praktikanten super nett. Wenn man Ausflüge in Südost Island machen möchte, ist die Lage ideal. Bis Reykjavik braucht man schon 1,5-2 h. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen und können die Unterkunft durchweg empfehlen.
