We had some amazing views of sunrises in this house and a great/relaxing time in the hot tub that is outside the house. The house is perfectly located as a starting point to visit a lot of places of the golden circle and beyond e.g. just 15min away from the secret lagoon (a must visit!). Everything was very clean and the kitchen was very well equiped. Try to buy groceries either in Selfoss or 7 min away in Reykholt (small grocery store). The neighborhood is very quite. A great place to enjoy some silence outside. The communication with Elin and Borkur was very good. They gave us some good advices what to see around the area . I would highly recommend!! :)

We loved our stay - the house is great, the architecture perfect and we felt immediately at home. We even had a Christmas tree waiting for us. Iceland is just a dream place and we for sure will be back. Elin and Borkur, thank you for the warm welcome in such a beautiful place.

Due to the timing of our flight arrivals and jet lag, my group was lucky enough to witness two sunrises at this home. Some of the most beautiful views of my life! The home was very clean, had a great layout and the washer/dryer were so handy after some of our outdoor adventures! The home is in a pretty remote area, but it's super close (at least by Icelandic standards) to many of the main Golden Circle sights! It's a great central location! Things that could make it a bit better: another couch in the living space for more seating and washcloths for showers! Thanks again for an amazing stay!

Easy to find and get to sights on golden circle, good restaurants within 10-15 minute drive. Private within small community and overlooks river with breathtaking views. Everything you would need/want in a place. Good blue tooth speaker and dvd that’s uk compatible too. About 1hr 30 drive from airport but a pleasant drive. Stop en route at Selfoss for groceries us advised to stock up on arrival. Great hot tub that’s always at temperature, good utility and boot room, 2 good shower rooms, 1 being a stunning master en suite. Cannot recommend highly enough! Awesome

This house provided the perfect stay in the Golden Circle area for our family of six. So comfortable, gorgeous views and great amenities. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a full day of exploring the sites. Communication with Borkur and Elin was so easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Incredible views from the home on the hill. Spacious place, all the amenities needed were met.saw the northern lights right above the home.

This well-appointed house is in a beautiful setting overlooking the river with expansive country side views everywhere you look. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything required for home cooking, and Elin and Borkur immediately responded to any questions. The hot tub and gas grill were much appreciated.

Attention all North Americans: Should you choose to go to Iceland, you should rent this home. It is beautiful, well kept, modern, excellent amenities and all the creature comforts that North Americans know and love (Cable, Internet, excellent showers/toilets, sweet kitchen, washer/dryer). The hot tub was wonderful after a long day touring. The house sits on a beautiful river that is suitable for fishing. The location in Laugaras is central to all of the attractions of Southwestern Iceland-Golden Circle, Glaciers, Vik and the beach-you name it. Rent the house. Rent a car. Tour the country yourself. Who wants to be on a stuffy tour bus out of Reykjavik every day? Enjoy nature from a beautiful home.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy our family time in Iceland. The home for our 6 adult family members was very comfortable in very way but the nicest part of the stay to me was the beautiful view we had and the privacy of the home. We toured the Golden Circle, Thingvellir, took a day exploring along the southern coast and hiked in Landmannalauger. The location allowed us access to a variety of sights in the area. The owner was very accessible and responsive before and during our stay. This first part of our trip in Iceland was hard to beat duringThe remainder of our stay.

Excellent house with amazing views overlooking the river. Great kitchen and living area. Perfect for a large group to eat. Thank you.

The house is everything it promises to be from the description above. It is spacious, lovely and warm against Icelandic autumn. The hot tub is nice, the beds are comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. It was very clean, comfortable and well sound proofed (we had one night of heavy wind and rain which you could barely hear - the huge flocks of birds in the river below were surprisingly loud too!). The "river view" description really doesn't do the location justice - you are on a ridge above the river and will enjoy views over huge distances all the way to snow capped peaks in the distance. The sun rises spectacularly in front of you and, at night, you can watch the Northern Lights.A great location for touring too - just outside Skálholt, half an hour from Gulfoss and Geysir, 45 minutes from Þingvellir and an hour and a half from Reykjavik or the South Coast sights near Sólheimajökull.

Väldigt fint och välutrustat hus nära den gyllene cirkeln. Helt ok läge för att ta sig till olika aktiviteter med bil. Vacker utsikt över en liten sjö. Härligt spabad. Sköna sängar och täcken. Skulle gärna komma tillbaka.

We were a family of 10 in Iceland for a week-long family reunion, and we are happy to say that everything about the home and surrounding area lived up to our expectations. The property itself was exactly as it appeared in the photos, with four comfortable bedrooms and a large open living room area. The kitchen was spacious and fully stocked, and very helpful for breakfasts and dinners for our large family. We also loved using the the grill, hot tub and outside patio area in the evenings. Regarding the surrounding area, the pictures truly do not do the land justice - the geography is spectacular with a river in the backyard (and a natural hot spring only a short walk downstream!), views of nearby mountains, and also the volcano Hekla in the distance. Right in front of the house is a quaint small horse farm where you can see animals grazing during the day. The location worked great for us, as it was very convenient for easter attractions on the golden circle, and only a ~90 min drive back to Reykjavik / Keflavik for other attractions by those cities. We also managed to do a day trip to Vatnajökull national park and Vik. It was also nice to have such a relatively quiet area to go home to each night, and with less light pollution to see the stars. On our last night in mid-August, we were extremely lucky to catch an early glimpse of the Northern Lights. The owners Borkur and Elin were very helpful with many of the logistical aspects of our trip, including directions, advice on groceries and food, and tips on what to see near the house. We would highly recommend the home for people looking to stay outside of the city and experience the suburban side of Iceland.

We were 9 people with 4 adults and 5 children. The house was very comfortable, clean and beautiful. It is located close to many of the big sites in Iceland. The kitchen was well stocked and the kids especially loved the hot tub. We highly recommend this house.

Our stay at this property was perfect. The house was well equipped and very clean. The open floorplan for kitchen, dinning and living room with beautiful views was always a pleasure to come back to after a day out sightseeing. Would love to come back in Winter and experience the house surrounded by snow.

This is a clean, modern home in a beautiful setting with an amazing view of a peaceful river. Each of the 4 bedrooms has comfortable beds and new, down comforters. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances and cookware, and there is plenty of refrigerator space. The clean, new hot tub was heated and ready to use upon our arrival. The owners, Borkur and Elin, responded quickly to emails and were very helpful in answering our questions about local places to visit, etc., as was Herald who helped us after we arrived. We've rented homes in many countries, and this one ranks among the top. We hope to return, and highly recommend it!

Casa que sorprende por su calidad. Dispone de todo tipo de equipamiento de la mejor calidad y nuevo. Es amplia, luminosa, limpia. En fin , un diez. ( Que diferencia con España, cuando alquilas algo en la playa, q cuesta un paston, y t encuentras la nevera amarillenta de 20 años que el dueño retiro de su casa de la ciudad, el tv viejo y un colchón imposible)

We had a great time and it the house is located pretty central to all the main attractions. We would definitely recommend staying here. The property was very clean, updated and very well maintained. Herald was really welcoming and willing to offer tips for getting around Iceland and finding the local attractions.
