Wonderful stay and the northern lights too!
The house was as described. Very well appointed. Spotless. Quiet with a relaxing view out the window. We saw the northern lights right off the back deck- amazing! Check in process was very easy. Great location for heading to the north, the Golden Circle, Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Multiple locations for natural soaking baths, one just a few minutes down the road. The house has bedrooms on both sides with the living area in the middle so great for multiple couples or several adults ( my party) wanting a little privacy. We didn’t want to leave, and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful modern home with great layout
My husband and I with 4 young adults (family and partners) thoroughly enjoyed staying at this quiet, comfortable home. The hot tub, cold plunge and the sauna added to the enjoyment especially with few nights of northern light displays and the beautiful night sky. I liked that the bedrooms were divided into 2 wings and the common area including the kitchen was in the center of the house plan. We could get up early and not disturb the kids who stayed up much later than us. Everyone loved the fancy coffee machine and the owner was quick to replace the filter when the machine called for it. The kitchen was well equipped with pots and pans as well as various dishes and cups that made our dinner settings fun!

We loved our stay here. In July the midnight sun has been beyond spectacular. The house has huge windows in the living room. It’s beautifully appointed with cutting edge appliances. The hosts were quick to respond to questions. A first-rate experience!

Stunning view!
Great home, well appointed and set up for group (two wings, each with 2 bedrooms and a bath.). The views on the drive to the house and from the house itself are spectacular. We saw the Northern Lights on 2 of the 3 nights we were there Recommend driving to the house for the first time in the daylight. Host met us at the home and made the navigation at the end easier

Amazing views in a comfortable, contemporary and quiet space
We enjoyed this clean, well appointed house, approximately 45 minutes from Reykjavik and an easy 30 minute drive to the Golden Circle. The kitchen is complete with all that is needed, and Gretar is a responsive hostess, who kindly allowed us to arrive a few hours prior to the 1600 check in time. Our time was spent enjoying both the hot tub and sauna, but it was the spectacular water and mountain views from the open kitchen, living room that provided beautiful sunsets. We will return again.

Nothing has been overlooked
Incredible views, an endless list of top of the line amenities and the quality of the property as a whole is impressive. Comfortable and quiet bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, and a perfectly stocked kitchen. Everything worked as promised, including the hot tub and sauna. Plenty of storage space and the shoe rack and hanging rod with hangers immediately inside the entrance are especially appreciated.

Very nice property
The house is very nice, as advertised and seems quite new. The views are spectacular. It is pretty remote, with the nearest grocery stores/restaurants about 30-40 minutes away. The manager did a good job explaining everything and had a good reference manual. The only slight disappointment was the hot tub. It does not have jets and needs to be filled and drained for each use. Filling it takes about an hour and maintaining the temperature is tricky as it has no heating element. We only used it briefly twice due to these issues.

Stunning location
Our family stayed in this gorgeous house overlooking the Hvalfjördur which makes for stunning sunsets and views of wildlife. The house comes with outstanding amenities, such as a sauna, hot tub, cold tank, a weight room, and the use of a propane or charcoal grill. The location is easily accessible (you don't need a 4D vehicle) about a half hour from the closest grocery and liquor stores in Mosfellsbaer (so stock up on your way there). The backroads give easy access to the golden circle and All Trails lists many excellent hiking spots within a short driving distance. The house was impeccably clean end the owner accommodated us with an early check in (which is nice when you fly in at 6AM from the US!). Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing time at this stunning house.
