Amazing Stay

This was an amazing place to stay! We loved all the little extras like robes for the hot tub, Nespresso machine, and hot chocolate. The place felt so cozy and had a country cottage feel. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights for about 2 hours one of our nights. We highly recommended this property, you won’t be disappointed!

We had a great time!

This cabin was super cozy and was perfect for our group of six. The view was gorgeous and we loved how secluded the location felt. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub, and we even got to see the northern lights from the deck! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Northern Light Stay

Perfect, magical stay

An absolutely stunning property with a fabulous view. Located very privately but still only 10 mins drive from Selfoss. The views, hot tub, size of the property and amenities were perfect. Instructions and communication from the host were very clear. We all had a magical time and would love to come back again one day.

Amazing Experience

We had such a wonderful stay. The accommodation was excellent and very well furnished and stocked. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The hot tub and views were just amazing. We were very lucky and managed to see the Northern lights three times during our stay and they were visible from the property. The Kerid Crater is a short drive away and free parking so is another good spot to view the lights. Enjoying the hot tub whilst watching the lights is an experience we will never forget. Geysir would have to be a highlight and we also visited four spectacular waterfalls and the black sand beach at Reynisfjara. I really wished we could stay longer!

Best view from a hot tub you can get!

Fantastic place to stay to explore the golden circle. The house has stunning views from the back deck and hot tub - which was so nice to use during our stay. We were in the hot tub every evening to relax after a day of exploring the area. The same views can be seen from the kitchen and living room inside - which are just stunning! The house was super private, and had woods and greenery all around, and was so peaceful. We cooked every day, and found everything we needed to make great meals, and having a dishwasher is a plus (mandatory for us). The host was great at communciation, and the house was super clean when we arrived, and had towels and robes for the hot tub - which was a nice touch. In addition there is a fancy coffee machine, so had great coffee each morning. The beds are really comfy, and the bedrooms had dark shades to help with sleeping while light outside. Overall great stay!

Wonderful stay

We loved this home. It was our best stay while in Iceland. The house was a perfect size for our family of 4. The master was spacious and the comforter/ linens were nice. We enjoyed the hot tub. The best luxury extras were the clean robes for use. We would highly recommend. It is a little off the beaten path but convenient to all the attractions in the area.

Awesome views and location

We had a great time at Emma's cabin!! Everything was clean and well stocked. The views from everywhere were terrific. Living room/Deck/Hot tub all overlooking the lake and mountains. Great central but private location! !5 minutes to town with many restaurants (Loved Krisp) Easy to Golden Circle (Bruarfoss falls followed by Efstidalur dairy next door is a must) / 1/2 hour to the trail for geothermal river which was a great hike.

Wonderful location with a drop dead view. Host was super and accommodated changes we needed to make. Home was considerately stocked with esstentials such as coffee/ tea and spices. Loved the bathrobes and home is tastefully decorated. We truly enjoyed every minute and couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing home base for our iceland adventures.

Great stay

This was a great property. It had a great view. You could see the lake and mountain. There's enough of a clearing with the trees in the front of the property for viewing the northern lights. The owner was fantastic and went well above and beyond when we had left an item there and can't express enough how grateful we were for that.

A hidden gem

I cannot even begin to describe how beautiful this property is! We were very lucky to call this a homebase when the entire country was shut down due to the record breaking snowstorm. We are from Minnesota and have always dreamed of getting snowed in while on vacation! These gracious hosts reached out and offered to coordinate a plow so we could continue our many planned adventures in this winter wonderland. Other guests weren’t lying when they commented on viewing the northern lights from the hot tub. Breathtaking!

Beautiful View--Great Location--Highly Recommend

Hostess did an excellent job with communication. The check-in process went smoothly. Written directions were provided from the airport (we, however, were coming from Reykjavik; our flight landed early morning and check-in wasn't until late afternoon, but were able to navigate there based on the directions; a set of directions from Reykjavik also may prove useful). The view from the house is absolutely stunning. The house itself is clean and well-maintained with a well-stocked kitchen. The coffee station was a great bonus. The plentiful bathrobes are also a nice addition. The house is located with an easy 15-20 minute-drive to Selfoss where you'll find a couple grocery stores, banks, and some restaurants. Golden circle attractions are also easy to navigate to from the house. The view and location again can't be beat. Do be aware, however, that the third bedroom isn't really a bedroom (no surprise to us, but I did want to point out). It's a wide hall between the master and the main living area. There's a door that shuts between the master and this area; however, there is no door to close between this area and the main living quarters, only a dark curtain. Therefore, any middle of the night trips to the main area from the master entail possibly disturbing those sleeping in the "hall" bedroom. Conversely, any tossing or just rolling over by the occupants of the set of bunk beds in the "hall" area (my 5'3"; 100 lbs. daughter slept in the bottom bunk) result in some pretty loud squeaking noises audible to the occupants of the master bedroom even with the door shut--just to point out if you're a light sleeper and plan to occupy either area. Also be aware that if you are occupying the master room or the "hall" area, you may be living out of your suitcase as there is no room for a dresser in the "hall" area and the armoire in the master is used as storage for extra linens. We weren't using the extra bed in the master or the top bunk in the "hall" area, so used those spaces as our dresser. Lastly, if you aren't aware, Icelandic weather is fickle, so if you're caught in a rainstorm or choose to brave the weather and come back to the house soaking wet, you will need to get creative as to how to dry any clothing you may need to wear the next day as there is no clothes dryer and laundry mats are not common- place in the country. A couple hours with the hair dryer and draping items over the radiators solved that issue for us.

Loved it!

This property was the perfect place for us to explore Iceland for the first time. We took day trips to Reykjavik, Vik, Hveragerdi, and Golden Circle. The view of the lake and mountain were wonderful and since we were there during mid June, the majestic mountain was there each evening and morning! The house was perfect for our needs, and Emma thought of everything to provide, right down to facial pads and q-tips. The espresso machine took a bit of a learning curve. The manual had instructions in 4+ languages, but none of them were English. We Googled a YouTube video that got us going, though. The hot tub was a welcomed place to relax after days of horse back riding, ATV'ing and hiking. Thank you, Emma, for making our Iceland vacation such a wonderful experience!
