Wonderful view, located in the heart of South Iceland and near some of the most visited places in Iceland. The crater Kerið is only 5 minutes away by car, Gullfoss and Geysir is 40 minutes by car. National park Þingvellir is 20 minutes away by car.

Great for families
My family had a fantastic stay at Birkir's cottage. Our young kids were thrilled to find soccer goals and a trampoline in the beautiful backyard. The whole family had comfortable rooms to sleep in, the house was clean, and the location was convenient to a number of major sites (e.g., Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir, Kerid Crater). I'd highly recommend the home (and Birkir as a host) to anyone, particularly families traveling with young children that are more confined to their rentals by necessity.

Amazing trip
Iceland was fantastic with so much to see and do, and this house was the perfect launch pad for the Golden Circle and Vik and Reykjavik. Our hosts were so helpful with suggestions and ideas and were very clear with instructions on the house. We had an amazing time! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Lovely property, but the bathroom presented health hazards. The shower floor was slick. One person in our party fell hard in the shower, because of the slick shower floor. He didn’t realize it was slick until he slipped. All 3 of us stumbled over the one step up split bathroom floor. The washing machine was not familiar for us to use, and we struggled in learning how to use it. An instruction manual would have been appreciated.. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.

Wow. Incredible cottage. It was so clean and beautifully decorated and so well stocked with everything and anything we could possible need. So much more than many places that we stayed for the same price. The location was just off the main road in a little community, private yet very accessible. Beautiful yard with soccer nets, my kids has a blast playing outside. Very close to the so many attractions like the Kerid crater and the thermal river hike in Reykjadalur Valley. Thanks to the incredible hosts!

Lovely Icelandic stay!
We had such a wonderful time here…so close to Selfoss for groceries and some nice restaurants AND close to Golden Circle sites. I feel like we barely got into all the natural wonders available near this lovely home. The kitchen and living area were all very comfortable and well stocked. Bedrooms and bathroom were also very comfortable and cozy. Unfortunately it was very rainy while we are in Iceland so we did not get to enjoy the deck, but maybe next time:)
