Cozy, comfortable, and safe

My boyfriend and I travelled from the US for our first time ever to Iceland. The cabin was super comfortable and the location was perfect for enjoying a lot of the golden circle. The projector movie screen was our favorite after long days of hiking and driving. Would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Iceland! The mini mart with the restaurant down the street was our favorite place so far to have dinner. We felt very safe in the location and enjoyed being away from the city. We did not get to enjoy the hot tub because we found ourselves in the natural hot springs!

A perfect base for our visit

A perfect base camp for our visit to the Golden circle. We were able to see the Aurora Borealis 2 out of 3 nights from the hot tub. The book said hot tub would take 1-2 hours to prepare, in our experience, since it is winter and colder, it took a lot longer (4-5 hours)

Perfect base for Iceland adventures!

We had the best 5 nights at Versalir, perfect location for adventuring around the southern part of the island - essentially an hour drive to everything you could want. The cabin is SO warm and welcoming and hosts friendly and helpful. The pictures on the listing are a little outdated - the shower room has been modernised for example, but if anything it is better than shown. Can’t wait to return!

Versalir

Great property a very short drive from Selfoss. We stayed a week in early November. The check in book is very thorough. I am very glad the beds were comfortable (rare these days with rental properties) and the owners were very quick to respond with all communication both prior and during our stay. The only complaints i can think of is that we could not find a switch to turn off the deck lighting which would have helped out on getting some better shots of the northern lights (which even with the wild storms we encountered, we were able to experience twice!!) And that there are two extemely bright spotlights from a building far away that was always attacking us. Outside of that, the location was perfect and absolutely remote enough to easily get to all the places we wanted to get to on the southern island.

The owners were very attentive to our needs and the house has everything you need to cook a meal, relax and just enjoy your surroundings. Highly recommend to anyone!

Selfoss / Iceland trip

Location and place is great! Very nice setup. Hot tub wasn’t expected with how to use. Returning key at end of stay is not very accommodating to guests especially if you’re leaving in dark with no lights in area. Overall great place and location and owners were responsive.

Großartige Unterkunft mit vielen Annehmlichkeiten

Auch wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Check-In hat reibungslos geklappt, die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war immer freundlich, Anfragen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Die Unterkunft hat eine perfekte Lage, um viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu besuchen. Sie liegt abgelegen und trotzdem dicht an der Straße. Man hat absolut seine Ruhe und ist für sich. Einziges Manko war leider, dass es extrem hellhörig ist. Wir würden aber trotzdem gern wieder kommen 😊 Erwähnenswert ist vielleicht auch noch, dass der Whirlpool leider keine Düsen hat. Davon sind wir bei der Bezeichnung “Whirlpool“ ausgegangen und haben uns drauf gefreut. Hat dann aber auch nicht gestört, denn bei durchschnittlich 10 Grad Außentemperatur im fast 40 Grad warmen Pool zu liegen, war auch ein schönes Erlebnis. Man sollte es im Vorfeld einfach nur wissen.

Icelandic Paradise!

We really enjoyed our stay at Versalir Cabin! Excellent location for day trips to many areas and in a very beautiful setting. We actually did some really cool hikes within 15-20 minutes from Versalir. Accommodations were good and comfortable, many nice amenities. We enjoyed grilling dinners with the Mountain View from the deck and having space for our family of four to enjoy.

Wonderful stay!

Great space with room for all. Within an hour of many main sights we wanted to see. Felt remote, but safe and only a 15 minute drive to the cute town of Selfoss. We stayed 2 nights and the rest of our trip to Iceland we were in various hotels. Everyone said their favorite accommodation was the cabin. Definitely recommend! The only negative was the washer/dryer. If you are going to do laundry plan for it to take a very long time!

Amazing Must Stay At Cabin

Our stay here was amazing. They had everything you would need and it felt like a home away from home. We spent many of the cool nights in the hot tub. It is far enough away from the road to enjoy the peace. But also not too far from many of the views and excursions around to make it perfect.

Fantastic Location - Comfortable Property

The cabin is in the perfect location to see all of the major tourist sites in the southern region of the country. The cabin was comfortable and well equipped. We didn’t use all of the amenities like the projector or video games but see that it would be great for those traveling with families. The bathroom has been remodeled since the photos were taken and the decor was modern and functional - the towel warmer was nice! The beds were comfy and it was a bonus having access to a washer. The surrounding area was beautiful. Communication with the owner was great and he offered a lot of good info for local attractions. My only constructive comment was that the kitchen and dining area could have been cleaner but other than that it was a perfect stay!

Perfect base for our family trip to southern Iceland!

The cabin worked great for our family of four! When we first arrived, we were concerned it would be a bit small, but the cabin makes really efficient use of space and it turned out to be perfect for our needs. The property was well-stocked with cooking utensils and the refrigerator was extremely generous in size compared to other European models I've used, which helped because it's a bit of a drive to the nearest grocery store so we were able to make one big trip for the week we stayed. We appreciated the availability of a washer/dryer, which let us pack more lightly. The location is very private while also being centrally located for trips out to Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, and the southern coast. Though it meant driving a little extra to get to places, it was nice and quiet around the property and the extra driving time was often along very scenic roads, like the one that skirts the edge of Thingvellir National Park. The actual views from the cabin are lovely as well!
