Great location and fantastic house to enjoy all the outdoor activities in Iceland

Very special stay for us as it was our first time seeing the northern lights. Everything is as described in the listing. Would recommend.

We absolutely loved staying here! It was easy to get to in winter with 4WD and was a lovely location to watch the northern lights (there is not much light pollution). We visited in February and watched the lights from the hot tub multiple nights in a row. It is also the perfect location to visit the three 3 major attractions on the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss) as well as other Golden Circle destinations. They are all within a 10-30 minute drive. The house was clean, warm, and inviting. The welcome book and “leaving Uthlið” book was very detailed and well thought-out. Everything in the house was in its place as the notebook and instructions stated. Palmi and Vala were very responsive and had great recommendations. 10/10 Highly recommend!

It has been a great place to stay. We felt very comfortable right away. Everything was as described, only more beautiful. The location of the apartment was great and you can make many excursions from there. Everything was very clean, the beds were great and the pool outside was a dream. Communication with the host was very straightforward. It was great that we were taken from an agreed meeting point to the apartment, as it is not easy to find. In the evening, we were able to see great northern lights due to the location. We would go back to this beautiful house in a heartbeat! Thank you!

Warm, cozy country style, home in the south of iceland. Hotub was great, and the kitchen had everything you would need to make a great meal. And we saw the northern lights every night of our stay in April.

An amazing peaceful retreat, yet close enough for all the sightseeing we wanted to do.. dark skies provided an amazing opportunity to see the Northern lights!

Wonderful house in a perfect surrounding. Host ist accommodating and responds quick to questions. Perfect. We come again. :)

Very comfortable hut, complete with everything and beautifully furnished! Very comfortable double bed! Great location, but maybe a little far away! Experience I recommend to those who really want to live an Icelandic experience!

Amazing place. We sat in the hottub at night with - 10 degrees while it was pitch black. A moment we will never forget. The place looked even better than on the pictures. We cooked at the place two nights, the oven is amazing and all the equipment is there. Linda responded very quick and was very nice. Thank you Linda!!

We really enjoyed our stay here in this one of a kind, unique accommodation! The cabin had what we needed for our stay and we were able to rest easily. We had clear skies both night and saw amazing northern lights from our window and just outside. Amazing!!!

Loved our stay in this beautiful home. It was toasty warm with lovely outlooks and space yo relax while still feeling part of the beautiful scenery. The house was well equipped. The host was very responsive when we needed some help to work the hot tub.

The accommodation was very big and nice because it was used by two people. The response speed was always fast and friendly The kitchen was spacious, so it was easy to cook. There was a washer and dryer, so it was very convenient. If I come back to Iceland, I will definitely stay there

We had the most wonderful stay at Marteinn’s place. Thank you so much for having us.

A beautiful little cabin in a gorgeous area with stunning views. I used this as my home base from which to explore the Golden Circle. The cabin was clean and tidy, the kitchen had all the basics, and there were some lovely touches including chocolate bars, some seltzer, a full carton of milk and cereal. And the heated towel rack was an incredible luxury that I used every day! Sylvia was not there and did not respond to my message telling her what time I would arrive, but her very nice and helpful husband Gylfi greeted me when I arrived and gave me a tour. He also came out to say goodbye when I left and we had a nice chat. I would like to have used the hot tub but it wasn't especially clean. I ended up at the nearby hot pot Secret Lagoon anyway, which was great, so it was not a big loss.

Lovely cabin we saw the Northern lights from the hot tub. private and quiet Relatively close to Golden Circle attractions Selfoss and Hella.

Kids enjoyed the most because of the PlayStation .We loved the cute radio playing in the morning during breakfast and the coffee machine was perfect ! We were very comfortable in your house . House was perfect for a family of 4. Also loved the attractions folder . We enjoyed the Mexican food from the food truck company and the ice creams from the local shop. Watched a nice movie together last night . Was home away from home . Thanks a lot .

Could not have asked for a better spot in the quiet countryside of Iceland! Beautiful views, quiet and cozy home, and warm and gracious hosts made for an incredible stay. Thank you!

Great place with lovely views

We spent three nights in a very nice accommodation close to many sites. It is very well equipped, quiet and we were able to see the northern lights from the sofa through the living room windows. We highly recommend this accommodation! Thank you for the hospitality and ideas for nearby visits!

This house was perfect. The hostesses met us when we arrived, gave us instructions on things they wanted us to make sure we knew (for safety and such due to the temperatures), and spent around 2 hours giving us a tour and history of the house. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed and they were so thoughtful with all of their recommendations for activities with our children. We 100% recommend this house to others and we will be coming back in the future!

Burma’s beautiful home is ideal for anyone who wants two bathrooms (hard to find in Iceland) and plenty of space. It’s in a quaint small town very close to the Golden Circle and not far from Selfoss, which has more substantial amenities. Easy drive to Gullfoss and Geysir, and a small grocery is within walking distance of the house. The views from the sunroom are beautiful. The kitchen is modern, functional, and spacious. The outdoor area, including the hot tub, is wonderful in the evening. The nearby restaurants, including those in Reykholt, are wonderful! We highly recommend this place for people who want extra space and don’t want to stay in the busy capital city. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved our short but sweet stay at this peaceful location. Would definitely return on another trip! A perfect location for Golden Circle or heading further south. Loved it and the surroundings!
