We had a wonderful time at this well designed and fully equipped home on the lovely river Sog. The hot tub on the deck was delightful and the kitchen had high quality items for food preparation. The host responded readily to any questions and was gracious even when I inadvertently dyed a number of his towels. Highly recommend. This worked well for our family.

Bjorn's place is exactly as described. Very clean, beyond well-equipped kitchen, hot tub with a view over the lake - what more could you ask for? How about a great location for visiting some of Iceland's most famous sites, and excellent communication from the host. Definitely recommend.

Spotless, comfortable beds, newer appliances with clear operating instructions, and a convenient location for exploring the area. Cozy inside despite high winds and cold temps. Could not have asked for more.

It was the trip of a lifetime and the house was perfect! We saw the northern lights from the hot tub. We had a minor issue with the hot tub which the owner resolved within an hour. I loved the relatively private location and the incredible view. The house was nice and clean and had all the supplies we needed. Every time I was confused about how to work something, there was a little note with an explanation - the dishwasher, the dryer, the TV, the shower, etc.. It was really thoughtful. The GPS would have taken us down the wrong road towards the end of the trip, so you should follow the owner's instructions.

Great house in a perfect, peaceful, beautiful and remote location. Very clean, warm and comfortable house, and the communication was very clear and helpful from Bjorn.

Captivating location and cabin, with a gorgeous view over the river, and to the mountains. Ducks, geese, swans and even a couple of eagles to watch through the really big windows. The host was great to communicate with, and settled our nerves about the local roads / weather before we arrived. We didn’t need to ask anything else as it was all perfect. Cabin is furnished with just about everything you could want / need. Lucky enough to spend a few nights in the geothermal hot tub under a clear sky full of stars, and treated to a mesmerising aurora display on one night too. This was our 3rd visit to this magical island and we would definitely recommend this cabin.

We really enjoyed our stay at this logde, with fantastic view over the lake and a very comfortable house in every way. The kitchen was more than fully equiped to suite every need to make dinner - and we loved the wide ragne of wine glasses and coffee making possibilities. To make the stay even better there is not much to add, we had good communication with Björn all the way trough. We were all 6 very happy with the stay and will return to this house again if we visit Iceland again.

This rental property and it’s host are absolutely fantastic! The house was perfect and cozy, had a very nice kitchen we made great meals in and I loved having a washer dryer there. We got snowed in one day and enjoyed teas by the huge windows and watched the river flow by. We enjoyed watching the Northern Lights in the perfect size and temperature hot tub. The view abs lighting was perfect. We made it home every day to make sure we could watch the sun set over the mountains. We also loved they had the perfect glasses for all your favorite adult beverages and a fantastic set of plates and cups. We felt so at home we didn’t want to leave. We can’t wait to go back.

Amazing views of river Sog and very handy location for golden circle and local facilities in Selfoss. Bjorn (host) had left very good instructions for everything in the lodge. Spotlessly clean, everything works and the hot tub is amazing - geothermal heating for the lodge and tub. Amazing stay - I would recommend this accommodation.
