Loved our stay in Hveragerdi
This house is in a lovely quiet location with a beautiful view over the river. Close to all the main attractions. The house has all the basic necessities, a generous pantry and Kristin was very helpful and responsive. Loved the fact that cable TV was provided so we could continue watching Ozark. Thanks again for a great stay!

Amazing!
This place was amazing! We had 7 adults and everyone had plenty of room (it could easily accommodate more). I loved the open floor concept so the people cooking could still watch TV and interact with the group. We saw the northern lights twice, both from the hot tub in the middle of the night. The rest of the time the weather didn’t cooperate. The host was amazing and even let us check in a little early. I definitely recommend this place!

Amazing Home
I cannot say enough good things about this property. It has a wonderful location. We were close enough to town to enjoy restaurants and grocery stores, but remote enough to go hiking from the yard and enjoy nature. It was clean, well-appointed, and Kristin the owner, was wonderful. The drive to the national park and the crater wasn’t long at all. We experienced a lot of rain during our stay which made the sights difficult, however it was great to come home to a warm home at the end of the day. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it.

Great location and good size house
We chose this house for the size and proximity to specific sites we wanted to visit. The house had many extras that made it feel like home. The location of the home was perfect. It was central to the area we wanted to visit, from Vik to Reykjavik to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano to the Gulfoss Waterfall. There's also a grocery store in town to grab snacks for the drive or purchase food to fix at the house. Don't forget about the bakery. It opens early and is a nice treat, as well.

Fantastic house, perfect location
I wanted to find a house for the week for my family to explore Iceland outside of Reykjavik. Hveragerdi was the perfect location as it is only 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavik, and right in the middle of the golden circle. It was also just under a 2-hour drive to Vik and all that little town has to offer. The house met all of our expectations, was comfortable, and extremely private. Hveragerdi is also a nice little town with plenty of restaurants and the new "Greenhouse" that has shops, food, and drinks. Kristin was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions.

Perfect location for home base
This property was amazing - photos don’t do it justice - it felt much larger than the photos. It was the perfect home base for a family trip. The hot spring river trail was amazing. Very nice town, lots of choices for eating out, or getting food to prepare in. I will definitely recommend Kristins property to anyone who is looking to do a trip to Iceland.

Beautiful home close to Golden Circle
Beautiful and well appointed home close to some of the most popular attractions in Iceland. Beds and linens were comfortable and neighborhood was dark (for the northern lights) and quiet. Hot tub was a big hit and there is a river babbling through the back yard. Steam is rising from fissures all around which was so unique. Five stars all around.

This was the perfect place for my family to come back to after long days driving and site seeing! It gave us a safe and comfortable retreat to relax and reflect on all that we had done each day and the location- the view and privacy - was perfect!!

We absolutely loved this property - the host was gracious and very easy to communicate with. The house is even better than the photos show. We stay with 4 adults and 4 kids (3,4,6, and 7) and they loved the inside of the home as well as being able to easily access the nearby trail to the river.

Perfect Home-Base to Explorer Southwest Iceland
Our 9-person family had a wonderful stay in Kristin's beautiful riverside home. It was well furnished with everything we needed. The location -- on a quiet street just north of Hvergerdi town and adjacent to several outstanding walking trails -- and beautiful views of the river were highlights. We also used the hot tub several times at the end of our day trips around Iceland. Hvergerdi is an ideal location to base yourself for day trips across the amazing sights in Southwest Iceland. For example: 1 hr drive to Geysir / Thingvellir, 40 min to Reykjavik, 2 hours to South Coast sights, 3 hours to Snaefellsness, 4 hours to Glacier Lagoon / Diamond Beach. Kristin was readily available to help with our questions and needs. An outstanding property and outstanding host!

April in Iceland
We had a very enjoyable stay in Hvergerdi. The town has a great grocery store, bakery, and pizza/ brewery. The "Steaming River" is very close to the house and was a wonderful hike. The home has a well stocked kitchen and the living space was very comfortable to relax in after many days of hiking.

Great stay in Iceland
Family of 5 (ages 5, 9, and 11) spent three nights in this cute Icelandic town about 40 minutes outside Reykjavik. House was perfect for us - lots of bedrooms, so much light, private, beautiful setting. Hour to Westman Islands and Gulfosa, so easy day trips. Kristen was very accommodating, allowing us to shift the dates of our stay a few weeks out. Great experience!
