Town Flúðir is only 10 min away, where you can find Secret Lagoon, swimming pool, small grocery store, and Vínbúð ( liquor store ).
Town Reykholt is also close by, there you have the popular tomato farm Friðheimar ( one of the most popular place to go on the golden circle ). Farm Efstidalur is also not far away, there is a nice restaurant and homemade made ice cream. Laugavatn is also not far away, there you have Fontana ( sauna place ). And of course the highlight of the Golden Circle Gullfoss and Geysir is close by. It's a great place in the Icelandic countryside.
Our house has 3 bedrooms, each bedroom has a Double bed ( 140x200 cm ). Then we have 2 foldable single beds ( 90x200cm ) that can be placed in the bedrooms ( one per bedroom ) or in the living room. We have two bathrooms, both with nice showers and the bathroom next to the master bedroom has an infrared Sauna. Kitchen is fully loaded with everything you need.
Outside we have Hot Pot / Jazzuci.
In the living room we have a fireplace, it's NOT a normal fireplace where you burn wood .. it's not used to heat the house, the house is heated with hot water that runs in the floors. The fireplace is a gas fireplace but it's not working at the moment after one of our guests damaged it. Instead you can use the Tenderflame unit that we have ( see picture ) and you can light candles to have a cosy evening in the living room ( see picture )
During winter time it's a good location to see the Aurora / Northern lights ( if the weather condition is right ), you can see two pictures of the Aurora lights, taken outside the house by one of our guests.
We have a baby crib and high chair for your children.
We provide linen, towels and soap etc.
We manage over 100 properties here in Iceland, most of them in the Reykjavik area and also few outside of Reykjavik. Please let us know if you would like to split your stay, some nights in Reykjavik and some outside of Reykjavik. We also offer long term renting.
