About this house rental

The House is located in Árnes, only 5 min drive from the house you are in Árnes, where you can find Gas Station, mini market and shop, there is also a small and cosy swimming pool and a soccer field.  In Árnes you can find Þjórsárstofa visiting center for tourists where you can find information about the area.  
From Árnes you can drive further and find one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, Gjáin.  You can also find waterfalls Hjálparfoss , Háifoss and Granni , Háifoss height is 122m and is the fourth highest waterfall in Iceland.

Town Flúðir is only 10 min away, where you can find Secret Lagoon, swimming pool, small grocery store, and Vínbúð ( liquor store ).  
Town Reykholt is also close by, there you have the popular tomato farm Friðheimar ( one of the most popular place to go on the golden circle ).  Farm Efstidalur is also not far away, there is a nice restaurant and homemade made ice cream.  Laugavatn is also not far away, there you have Fontana ( sauna place ).  And of course the highlight of the Golden Circle Gullfoss and Geysir is close by.  It's a great place in the Icelandic countryside.

Our house has 3 bedrooms, each bedroom has a Double bed ( 140x200 cm ).  Then we have 2 foldable single beds ( 90x200cm ) that can be placed in the bedrooms ( one per bedroom ) or in the living room.  We have two bathrooms, both with nice showers and the bathroom next to the master bedroom has an infrared Sauna.  Kitchen is fully loaded with everything you need.  

Outside we have Hot Pot / Jazzuci.  

In the living room we have a fireplace, it's NOT a normal fireplace where you burn wood .. it's not used to heat the house, the house is heated with hot water that runs in the floors.  The fireplace is a gas fireplace but it's not working at the moment after one of our guests damaged it.  Instead you can use the Tenderflame unit that we have ( see picture ) and you can light candles to have a cosy evening in the living room ( see picture )

During winter time it's a good location to see the Aurora / Northern lights ( if the weather condition is right ), you can see two pictures of the Aurora lights, taken outside the house by one of our guests.

We have a baby crib and high chair for your children.

We provide linen, towels and soap etc.

We manage over 100 properties here in Iceland, most of them in the Reykjavik area and also few outside of Reykjavik.  Please let us know if you would like to split your stay, some nights in Reykjavik and some outside of Reykjavik.  We also offer long term renting.

Perfect location for exploring Golden Circle & South Coast … with a small grocery store 15 minutes away! Property was very clean with well stocked kitchen. Unfortunately we were so busy we didn’t have time to enjoy the hot tub or sauna. Communication with host was fantastic … including a wonderful packet with great local information prior to the stay!

House on the Golden Circle is the place to go for complete peace and quiet away from urban bustle. It rained everyday – we ignored that – so make sure you have good wet weather clothing. The house is about 25-minutes from the delightful city of Selfoss which is a fun place to walk with some good eating. Groceries are easily purchased at Kronan and you really don’t need any cash. I spent five nights in this clean and tidy home with my two daughters and a son-in-law and it was perfect for our needs, although we traveled every day. For company we had horses in the surrounding fields and swooping Killdeer. The largest bedroom does not have black out shades so you may want a sleeping mask. The owner was friendly, communicative and check-in was easy. All kitchen utensils are provided but we only had breakfasts; lunch and dinner were on the road when we explored Icelandic cuisine. Our time was limited so we chose this location as the “bottom point” of the Golden Circle in order to hit specific locations: the Southern coast (Vik), and then Thingvellir, Seljalandsfoss, Skogavoss & Gullfoss waterfalls, Geysir, Kirkjufell, Reykjavik, the Snafellsness Peninsula and other places. We also highly recommend the intimate Fontana Hot Spring Spa for a relaxing afternoon.

This was the perfect home base for my husband and I while we spent time im South Iceland. The location perfectly balanced our desire for privacy/seclusion while still being writhing reasonable driving distance to stops on the Golden Circle and great food in Selfoss. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax at the end of the day. We were also very blessed to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights on our first night.

The location was absolutely amazing, it’s location is perfect for if you want to do golden circle; or south coast. All information was provided by host in email. Answered all questions I had, the inside of the house was beautiful. Tons of amenities provided. We enjoyed our stay and got lucky to catch a beautiful northern lights show on our last day thanks to this property being where it was. Will be returning to this property when we come back.

Lovely, quiet house, with friendly horses down the road! Easy check-in and very responsive host. Expansive views from the house and relatively short drives to various waterfalls and hikes nearby. Great kitchen; had everything we needed for cooking. Loved the hot pot outside too! Hope to return!
