Our house, Bakki, is the perfect base for your Icelandic holiday. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsjökull National Park, visit a natural hot spring like Deildartunguhver, or amazing waterfall like Hraunfossar. Other interesting places to visit are, the active volcano Grábrók, the crater Eldborg, historical viking landmark Reykholt, and taking a walk into the glacier Langjökull. You can stroll through the nearby cozy town of Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s,museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the capital Reykjavík with all its glory, nightlife and culture. Make a day trip on the Golden Circle and see the exploding Geysir with all its natural power, and drop by the historic Thingvellir National Park, and view close up the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. In the evenings you will always come back home to this modern architecturally designed house in Helluskógur and the first thing you might do is, relax in the hot tub and enjoy the views or the Northern Lights in the peace and quietness after a memorable day.

The house has an open kitchen-living room with a large kitchen island. It is very spacious and ideal for family and friends preparing a good meal together. The kitchen has all necessary tableware and high quality equipment for cooking and baking. The living room has floor to ceiling windows and an amazing view. Even if you are inside it feels like you are still completely connected to nature. In the living room you will find books and magazines to read, films to watch on the large flat screen TV. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable with high quality beds and a beautiful view. The main bathroom is spacious with a long wooden countertop and a large shower room.

The design of the house is outstanding and well thought out. It has floor to ceiling windows, open space, hardwood floor, natural stone tiles, designed lighting and with one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly floor heating systems installed in houses today. The heating system is perfect and we can guarantee you a warm and cozy house in the winter time. The house is designed by one of our best architects, Sigurður Hallgrímsson who designed many of our spectacular modern houses in Iceland.

On the large patio surrounding the house is a nice hot tub that fits up to 7 people, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen with a barbecue grill and comfortable outdoor seating. The patio is perfect for making a good meal and relaxing in the peaceful environment. Beside the house is a grass lawn which is surrounded by a birch forest, ideal for kids to play.

    A gorgeous house - very modern and clean. It was perfect for our family of four. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and we took nice walks around the house and to the river (which was partly frozen in early April). It was a good set-off point for a drive to Snæfellsnes National Park and close to the town of Borgarnes. The owners were helpful and communicative. We would definitely recommend this house to another family.

    We LOVED our stay here- from booking to our holiday we had such great communication with our host. This house is so special and wonderful highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful place to stay- we could not have asked for a better base for our Iceland adventure. Having all of the information from our host from directions to how to use the appliances was fantastic. Already dreaming of our next visit. Bonus was seeing the northern lights on a very clear night from the back deck.

    The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The layout of the house is very nice, there were some toys and games for the kids to play with and a separate TV. We enjoyed the hot tub and the overall space available inside. We were lucky to see an amazing Northern Light show on two different nights!

    The house is beautiful and exactly as appears in the photos. Four adult friends stayed at this lovely rural location that is wonderful for a quiet and extremely comfortable stay near all of the beauty of west Iceland. The rooms and hot tub were exceptionally clean and in perfect functioning. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything that we needed. The host provided us with exquisite helpful details, communicated promptly when needed, but also gave us complete privacy. We were able to see the Northern Lights several times from the deck! We all agreed that we would be happy to stay there again. :)

    This is our second stay at this lovely home and we enjoyed it just as much this time as we did last year! Thoughtful touches like a full length mirror and makeup mirror as well as everything needed for cooking and very cozy beds. You won't be disappointed!

    The place was easy to find with directions and was perfect. The boys and my husband used the hot tub, it was clean and worked well. There was a handy outdoor shower. We are a family of 8 and we fit great. There are plenty of dishes and a nice sized kitchen. We would be happy to stay here again, the house was lovely.

    Just an exquisite home -- beautifully designed, clean, and well maintained -- that's in the perfect location for exploring the Snaefellsness Peninsula! It's an easy drive to both the north and south coasts that take you to some of Iceland's most iconic locales. Borganes is an easy 10-minute drive to get provisions. We were a group of seven, including three school-age kids, and the home gave us more than enough room for both private and gathering space, and the kids loved playing outside. The kitchen is well equipped (a must for me -- the cook!), and the hot tub was a welcome amenity at the end of a long day of hiking and exploring. Another sensory bonus is the mountain vista out the front door -- watch for sunsets!

    Coming from the US, we were pleasantly surprised to find this home had everything we have at home, making for a comfortable stay. House is spacious, clean and has ample room for 5-6 people. A peaceful setting with tons of privacy, great views too. Host was responsive to any question we had. Would absolutely stay here again and HIGHLY recommend!

    We are a group of five friends who planned this trip almost two years ago. We had to pick off season due to our schedules. The weather/wind in Iceland was the worst it has been in 10 years, and we briefly lost power. Our host brought us a generator, coffee, pastries, and kept us updated every step. They checked in on us often and responded immediately to any questions or concerns. They have a very detailed book on property with instructions for everything. The house is amazing and stayed warm even when we didn't have power. It's beautiful, perfectly cozy, and well equipped for all that you could need. The town of Borganes was nearby and we loved being away from the big crowds. I loved Iceland so much, everyone was friendly and the environment is second to none. I can't wait to come back, and I would absolutely choose this host again!

    My family stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our holiday Iceland trip from the states. The host had great communication and was very prepared with check in and home instructions. The place was very clean and we felt very comfortable during our stay. We only wished we stayed a little longer to be able to see all the sights in the area. Would definitely recommend renting this home for an experience outside of the city.

    We were very comfortable in this beautiful home outside of Borgarnes. Away from the city lights, we were able to relax and enjoy the northern lights from the comfort of the hot tub! The home is in a great location for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and is well appointed with everything we needed! The hosts are very responsive and communicated promptly when I had a question. Would come back and stay in this lovely home!
