Fantastic hide-away in the Icelandic countryside!

We loved it. Beautifully appointed property. Super comfortable beds - lovely location right on the river and within walking distance of Gianni waterfall. The hot tub was a perfect place to relax! Thanks for everything.

Perfect stay

This is our third time in Iceland & we have stayed in a different part each time. I have to say that this location is ideal for getting to the north & the peninsula. The house is in a quiet location & it has everything you need. Everything is in great working order & it’s clean & homey. The communication with the owner is excellent & they have very thorough house instructions that I appreciate. I would gladly stay here again & I highly recommend it to others.

Iceland 2024

This house was absolutely perfect for our group of nine. The house was well stocked and the owners were wonderful with communication and information about the house and the surrounding area. It is located in the perfect place and we walked to the waterfall everyday and were able to climb the crater once. It was a good spot to feel relaxed, but close enough to Borganes to grab groceries etc. The house itself was lovely and the hot tub and scenery were perfect after a day of hiking.

Perfect stay!

We spent 3 nights here and really enjoyed our stay! It was the best accommodations of our trip. The house is welcoming and well equipped with everything we needed such as towels and kitchen supplies. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. We enjoyed spending our evenings in the hot tub with the beautiful views of the mountains. There are a few other houses near by, but far enough away where the house still felt private and peaceful. We were able to walk to a nearby waterfall and enjoyed the many lupine flowers blooming in the area. We would highly recommend and hope to make our way back in the future!

We had a great time in this very nice, extra clean and comfortable house. The location and views are just fantastic. The house was exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed lighting the fireplace every evening. Communicating with Heidrun was always easy and a pleasure.

Absolutely beautiful location

We stayed here upon our arrival to Iceland. The home was very comfortable for our group of 8. My parents enjoyed having their our space in the guesthouse. My kids loved the outdoor shower and hot tub. The scenery was lovely with the stream beyond the house. We walked to Glanni waterfall from the house and Grabarok crater was around 2.5 miles away. We would definitely stay here again.

What a view !!

The house is amazing overall, with everything you might need, including lots of towels, card games, and a wood burning stove. The view off the back porch of the nearby river and mountains was incredible, and with Gianni Falls just a short walk away. It could use a second indoor shower, but otherwise we loved it and would stay again.

Family Vacation in NES

Property was spectacular - views, location and home were the best! We were off the beaten path by design to view Northern Lights without light conjestion. We had incredible sightings!! Heidrun was wonderful. Would recommend without hesitation! Family had the best holiday!! Plan to come back in the summer months for a full prospective of the incredible ICELAND!!!!

Luxury in the Lava Field

Cannot say enough about this place. Owners really have made a beautiful and peaceful home away from home. Very clean, super comfortable beds, great kitchen space in open living area. Views of dramatic scenery at every turn. Appreciated the blackout curtains in bedrooms and the hot tub was awesome especially after a long day of hiking. Lots of towels and wash clothes and the outdoor shower was a bonus!! Great place to explore western Iceland. My family really enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave such a lovely place.

Beautiful house, great location, perfect for visiting Iceland!

My family and I spent a week in Iceland and absolutely loved it. The house was extremely clean, modern and had ample space to relax after a long day of sightseeing. My kids especially liked all of the "tech" hookups...iHome, Bose speakers, etc. Our hosts provided us with a great list of attractions near by...these gorgeous waterfalls are within walking distance! We truly enjoyed staying at this house and wish we could have stayed in Iceland longer. Thank you to our wonderful hosts...your home is beautiful!

All we wanted and more

This was an excellent location for our adult family of 8 (4 couples) to relax and enjoy each other’s company between amazing excursions. The location provides convenient access to Reykjavik, parts of the Golden Circle and Western Iceland. We had plenty of space and the amenities were great! Lots of towels, a well stocked kitchen, fireplace, big windows everywhere, and fantastic outdoor living space including a hot tub that was used daily. Communication with the hosts was excellent and the surroundings were amazing. There is a beautiful waterfall just minutes walk away, springs burbling up out of the ground, a volcanic crater and more. Highly recommend.

Perfect, warm, private, accessible, comfortable, central to West Iceland, everything we needed!

My wife and I (76 and 77) stayed here for 7 nights, The accommodation was lovely, bed comfortable, kitchen provisions excellent, nice hot tub (though we only used it twice), DVDs easy to watch on large screen. It has one bathroom but a small guesthouse with another bath. Only one mile from Glanni Falls. This facility is in the center of West Iceland and enabled us to make day trips in several different directions to see things like the Golden Circle, Reykjavik, and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. In all, it helped make our trip outstanding. We highly recommend this facility!

Modern, Cozy, Romantic, Well Stocked Kitchen, Northern Lights

This house exceeded our expectations! It is beautiful, modern, clean and cozy. My husband and I stayed here in January. The kitchen is well stocked and comfortable. The open floor plan with a wood burning stove adds to the modern charm. The floor heat kept the temperature in the house very comfortable. We loved the outdoor hot tub where we were able to see the northern lights. The washer and dryer allowed us to pack more lightly. The owners were the most gracious hosts we have encountered through VRBO and responded to questions very quickly. You won’t regret booking this home.

Thank you for an unforgettable visit to Borgarnes Iceland!

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was absolutely perfect for our family. Our three boys enjoyed the hot tub and the hikes behind your house to see the Glanni waterfall. Your house was immaculate and so comfortable for us. It was conveniently located to Reykjavik and the Golden Circle too. We loved driving the whole Snæfellsnes peninsula and found it to be just beautiful! Thank you for your suggestions of the nearby restaurants, hiking trails as well as nearby attractions. It made it so helpful for us as we navigated around West Iceland! We were so blessed to have perfect weather and just marvel at all our photos with blue blue skies, green pastures, gorgeous Icelandic horses and vistas! Thank you for a spectacular stay in your beautiful home!"

Wonderful property

This was a great house to use as a base for our week long Icenlandic adventure for our family of 5 adults. The directions are very easy to follow to get into the house as well as the directions for the appliances, hot tub, etc. If you are traveling from the US, note that you have to use the county code of 35 to operate the gate but it does work with "wi-fi" calling. The property is in a very quiet area and we enjoyed using the outdoor shower, hot tub and the fireplace for the rainy evenings. The hot tub in the rain was actually quite pleasant. In addition we walked every morning to the waterfall and the beautiful "oasis". The house comes stocked with all the basics needed for your stay - plenty of towels, paper goods, salt, pepper, foil, etc. Highly recommended!

Wonderful house in a wonderful area

We stayed in the house with 3 families for 8 nights and had one of our most wonderful holidays ever. We were 12 (6 adults and 6 children) and while that was a bit of a stretch we managed fine and enjoyed the warm, cosy and beautiful house a lot. The views from any of the windows in all directions are amazing - you're literally in the middle of a lava field surrounded by beautiful mountains and a volcanic crater. The house is perfectly located for watching the northern lights as there is almost no light pollution. We saw the lights 5 out of 8 nights (we were lucky with the weather). It's also a great location in Iceland if you want to visit Snaefellsness or the north (tip: Sjávarborg Restaurant in Hvammstangi). Heidi and Rob have been very communicative and helpful on all aspects of this trip, and provided us with detailed answers to all our questions and helped with our plans. We mixed day tours with days around the house which has great nature just minutes away. The children could play around the house for hours, even though it was constantly freezing. We hope to come there again sometime. Highly recommended!
