House on the Golden Circle, close to Flúðir

Everything was excellent and exactly as described in the write up. We enjoyed the house immensely for our girls trip. These pictures of the northern lights were taken behind the house!

We had a quiet, comfortable stay at this well-located home near Selfoss—perfect for exploring the Golden Circle, Selfoss, and Westman Islands. Check-in was easy, and the house layout was spacious and functional. The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances, drinkware, and cutlery, and there were plenty of essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen, except for trash bags (easily purchased nearby).The bathrooms were clean, though both showers had some mildew—likely due to the house being very warm on arrival. It cooled quickly with windows open, and we felt safe even sleeping with them open.Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, though the living room TV’s smart features were unreliable. The hot tub was a highlight, with easy access from the master bathroom. Washer and dryer were convenient, though the dryer controls were hard to interpret.The host was responsive to non-urgent messages. Departure info was limited, but we understood we needed to take trash to a nearby drop-off.Minor wear (e.g., a freezer handle and small flooring damage) didn’t affect our stay. The area was peaceful, with the lovely sound of birds and sightings of Icelandic horses nearby.The listing was very accurate, and the guest book was both helpful and entertaining. Patio furniture and an EV charger would be great future additions. We'd gladly stay here again.

Nice location and private. Kitchen has too many junky utensils and was disorganized. The closets were filled with the owners personal effects. Wish they were locked away.

Excellent property in a beautiful and quiet spot. Perfect for our family. House was perfect and the 2nd bathroom was a bonus.

Very nice family friendly vacation home on the moors with great vistas in all directions. The air smells wonderful. Horses graze next door.

We stayed a week at this lovely house. There were four of us - two couples. Everything about the house was as described. It was well equipped, clean, in a great location, and lovely inside and out. We took advantage of the hot tub and sauna after our daily adventures in the South of Iceland. There was lots of room, a well laid-out kitchen with all of the kitchen items we needed to cook each night. The water was hot, heating was constant and wonderful and it was great to have 2 separate bathrooms as either side of the house. The washer and dryer were as added bonus. We had such a lovely time in Iceland and staying in this wonderful house and being able to cook for ourselves added so much to out trip. And...best of all, we got to see the Northern Lights in a setting with very little ambient light, right from our doorstep. It was a sight that none of us will ever forget.

This home has comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, amazing views, and an easy to use hot tub! Clean space and loved the warm floors with the radiant heat!

Good location, remote but still central to most of the major sites. Had everything two couples needed. We enjoyed looking out the big wall of windows and there was plenty of room to spread out. Saw the northern lights from the house on a clear night. Some items that need addressing: the bathroom by the door was very dark, most of the lights weren't functioning, so it was dark to shower and do laundry. The keybox is hard to get open. Lift up on the fridge door handle or it won't shut all the way and it won't be as cold. Hold the microwave cabinet door up to use it, almost came down on our head. No response when contacting host twice via VRBO messages. Just pointing these out for future renters. Overall we really enjoyed the house and our stay.

The location was excellent and iceland was amazing. Had trouble communicating and felt some things needed more instructions (hot tub,tv,thermostat etc. Coming from where we are from things were a little trial and error. Response were not quick especially if had real emergency. Things that need to be addressed is water pressure in one bathroom and many light bulbs throughout home. Im not bashing at all. Just honest feedback. Our stay was great and place was in a great spot for us to get to everything on our list.

The property had everything we could’ve asked for. The hot tub was heated and ready to go. The sauna was able to be easily used and enjoyed. The beds were primo. Clean up with Simple. Communication was simple a little difficult to find but once we found it, it was easy for us to continue in and out trips. Would be very willing to stay here again.

Perfect location for exploring Golden Circle & South Coast … with a small grocery store 15 minutes away! Property was very clean with well stocked kitchen. Unfortunately we were so busy we didn’t have time to enjoy the hot tub or sauna. Communication with host was fantastic … including a wonderful packet with great local information prior to the stay!

House on the Golden Circle is the place to go for complete peace and quiet away from urban bustle. It rained everyday – we ignored that – so make sure you have good wet weather clothing. The house is about 25-minutes from the delightful city of Selfoss which is a fun place to walk with some good eating. Groceries are easily purchased at Kronan and you really don’t need any cash. I spent five nights in this clean and tidy home with my two daughters and a son-in-law and it was perfect for our needs, although we traveled every day. For company we had horses in the surrounding fields and swooping Killdeer. The largest bedroom does not have black out shades so you may want a sleeping mask. The owner was friendly, communicative and check-in was easy. All kitchen utensils are provided but we only had breakfasts; lunch and dinner were on the road when we explored Icelandic cuisine. Our time was limited so we chose this location as the “bottom point” of the Golden Circle in order to hit specific locations: the Southern coast (Vik), and then Thingvellir, Seljalandsfoss, Skogavoss & Gullfoss waterfalls, Geysir, Kirkjufell, Reykjavik, the Snafellsness Peninsula and other places. We also highly recommend the intimate Fontana Hot Spring Spa for a relaxing afternoon.
