We had a great stay with incredible views of the surrounding. Check in was easy, and the host was accommodating of our needs. Would highly recommend this location for anyone looking to get a bit further away from the city.

It’s a cuute little cabin . Modern and tidy though the access to the property was verry pebbly a bit like F208 , otherwise would give 5 stars , ample hot water and all small necessities included . Sleeping accommodation was awkward . One of us had to sleep in separate cabin and one in the attic with verry limited head room .

Our family had an absolutely magical stay at this property. If you're looking for peace, privacy, and a true Icelandic experience, this is the place. Nestled in a remote location, the cabin offered stunning views and a sense of serenity. The hosts were responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our arrival.The location is ideal for anyone wanting to explore the Golden Circle. We were just a short drive from Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss, which made day trips super convenient. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped for our family. We loved soaking in the hot tub under after a day of adventuring.We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful Icelandic getaway!

Convenient to Thingvellir National Park and the Southern Coast
We were able to tour both the national park and the southern coast conveniently without having to move between lodgings. The cabin is pretty new, has a nice view of the mountains, and a hot tub and grill on a pretty deck (though the midges require a head net that the host graciously provided for us). The kitchenette was adequate for us since we weren’t cooking anything more than breakfast. The upstairs bedroom with twin beds would be a great spot for a couple of kids who find it fun to climb up a ladder into a cosy nest. There is a smaller cabin connected by the deck with a second double bed and half bath—a nice arrangement when two couples are traveling together and appreciate their own space. I can’t praise the hosts enough. They communicated well, addressed every need requested and even anticipated others. I recommend checking it out, especially if you’re touring both the golden circle and southern coast and want to come home to a quiet place away from the summer tourist crowds.
