Homely, well-located, gorgeous scenery, outstanding host

This house is in perfect location for us. We visited golden circle, vik and eastern Iceland and it was the perfect location. WE got an extra bonus by getting 4 clear nights and watching the northern lights dancing above the house.

This cottage was exactly what we were looking for! The best front row hot tub seats to view northern lights. Amazing owner and great communication. Very clean cottage and no issues with anything! Highly recommend!

This was an amazing property. The vista views out the back of cottage of the lake and the mountains were stunning at any time of day. The cottage was central to many of the tourist sites on the Golden Circle. It was well stocked with all the amenities of home. At night the skies are nice and dark for an avid photographer like myself. We were fortunate to see the Northern Lights for a few minutes as the sky was cloud covered most of our nights. The house provides a feed to the Aurora Network App (Camera #2). It's a paid app (for IOS and Android), but inexpensive and gives you alerts to your phone when the Northern Lights are visible. I would definitely recommend this site to friends and family.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic southwest Iceland location. Quiet, cozy, clean, comfortable with absolutely everything we needed for our stay. Hrafn was extremely helpful and immediately responsive to my emails. I would highly recommend this cottage to everyone.

Our family have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Iceland. Hrafn's cottage is great with all you could need (and more). It was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The TV den was a great spot to relax after a long day touring and we also made use of the Hot tub on a couple of occasions, relaxing and taking in the stunning scenery. Hrafn was a great host, providing us with some useful tips just prior to our trip and it was very nice of him to just drop us an email a couple of days into our stay just to check everything was fine and if we needed anything (we didn't as all was in perfect order for our entire 10 day stay). Wouldn't think twice about booking this cottage again and can highly recommend it. Lovely cottage in a great location for seeing the sights of South Iceland. Thank you for a great and memorable holiday Hrafn.

Really nice cottage in the middle of nature with great view on the landscape and the lake. We definitely appreciated the place, the accomodation and enjoyed the hot spot .

Myself and a couple friends recently stayed at this property and I have to say it was an excellent choice! The location was fantastic as we were in Iceland to not only see some of the sights like Vik but play a lot of golf as well. The house was a perfect size for our fore-some and well equipped. Hrafn our host was very communicative and responds quickly to any correspondence. So to round this out I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking into visiting Iceland, I can imagine winter with the Northern light is awesome!

Our group had a wonderful stay despite pretty erratic weather and lack of the northern lights. It's a great cabin that is fully stocked with everything you need. (Towels were a little light but we did not contact and ask for more we worked with what we had). It is in the perfect location for all the sites along the golden circle (including northern lights if weather permits) and an easy shot back into the city. The host is wonderful and able to answer all questions and provides tons of information about the area prior to your arrival. I plan on returning to Iceland to experience the warmer weather at some point but winter is beautiful.

Beautiful views, easy location, in close proximity to many fun things to do and see. A super gracious host who could not do enough for us.

Our first time in Iceland and wow what an amazing experience. The cottage is beautifully situated, very peaceful and very well furnished with all the amenities that you could need. The host was so friendly and helpful. Tha k you Hafran and family. No message or email was left unanswered. The hot tub was a great way to spend an evening with laughter and fun. The view from the cottage is awesome and very inspirational. The photos don’t do it justice - the place really exceeded our expectations and made our experience in Iceland really special and one we look forward to returning to. The cottage is well positioned - with easy access to a nearby town and really just over an hour or so to the capital. The cottage is positioned high on a hill overlooking a lake and mountains with a good view to every aspect from the dining/kitchen area. A Great location to return to after a busy day’s sightseeing. Peaceful and remote but we never felt isolated. Highly recommended.

We stayed at this cabin for its location so we could see the northern lights. We were not disappointed! It is nice and dark and quiet PLUS it is centrally located so it is easy to go and see many more attractions. The owner was very helpful in all aspects of the stay and was very easy to reach. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location for exploring southern Iceland. Very comfortable with plenty of space. Hot tub is great amenity. Highly recommend.

Hrafn's cottage overlooking the lake was the perfect spot for my husband and I to travel and tour Iceland. The cottage was conveniently on Rt 36 making most of our destinations an easy drive away. During our stay we drove all the way east to Hof and saw Diamond Beach, Glacier Lagoon, and did an ice cave tour. We visited Seljalandsfoss, Selfoss, Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir, and Silfra. We bathed in the Blue Lagoon and hiked to Steam Valley and lounged in natural hot springs. We hiked to Glymur Waterfall. And when we weren't doing those things we enjoyed all the cottage had to offer. The hot tub was a real treat and though we didn't see Northern Lights we enjoyed stargazing. The kitchen had everything I needed to make all our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Further, Hrafn was a great communicator and answered all of my big and small questions and made sure our check-in and checkout were as easy as possible. The cottage was warm, cozy, and comfortable through our stay. He has it stocked with every need you can have while being away from home.

Thank you Hrafn for making us feel so welcome when we arrived at your lovely cosy home last Saturday. We have had the most amazing week, there is so much to do and see - too much in fact so we will be back again soon. The cottage is in a great location for all of the golden circle spots, but also for hidden treasures too. The cottage was so warm and cosy after a busy day sightseeing and the hot tub finished the day off perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend Hrafn’s home to anyone looking for a really good base to explore southern Iceland. Thanks again

We spent a very enjoyable week here in October '18 though weather was mixed. The house was warm with good accommodation for the family. The hot tub was a real novelty. Good communication with the owner. Highlights for us included Thingvellir; Gullfoss; horse-riding through the lava fields (my husband was even won over by the calm and friendly horses); exploring the south coast as far as the black sands and basalt columns of Vik taking in Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, the views from the lighthouse at Dyrholaey and the glacial ice cap on Katla mountain; geysir (and delicious lamb soup in the cafe); Reykjavik; whale-watching from Reykjavik though we had no sightings of any marine life; the Fontana spa/buffet dinner deal with various pools and saunas of different temperatures and lake. Good location 20 minutes from Selfoss. We thoroughly recommend his property.

The cottage is beautifully furnished and comfortable. Views we're awesome and location was great!. Proprietor very friendly and helpful.

We landed in Iceland in the morning, picked up our rental car and headed out to explore a new country. The location of this property allowed for stops along the way to take in some great scenery and grocery shop before check in time, but was a welcoming, warm and cozy spot upon arrival in the afternoon. The view to the lake and mountains is gorgeous and we saw some spectacular sunsets. We found the day trips to Thingvellir National Park, or Geysir and Gullfoss or south along the coastline to Vik to be very easy driving with lots of places to stop and enjoy the beauty of Iceland's geography. Horseback riding was easily available for the grandkids to enjoy in this area. The nearby powerplant with exhibits was a great diversion on a rainy afternoon. The cottage offered comfortable beds, a kitchen with all the necessary equipment, spices and condiments to use, an outdoor grill and a hot tub for evening relaxation. Note that there isn't a bedroom on the main level. All bedrooms are accessed by a curved stairway that could be difficult for anyone with knee or hip issues. We were a three generation family traveling together. We found we all really enjoyed this part of Iceland more than the rest of our stay closer to Reykjavik. Don't feel this location is too isolated. It has so much to offer!

Perfect hosts. Centrally located. Very close to National Park and hiking trails, Gullfoss and Geysir, 20 minutes to small town with grocery store and restaurants and 2 hours to Vik area. Cozy. Great hot tub and well stocked kitchen.
