You can visit the amazing, natural and powerful hot spring Geysir and the beautiful waterfall Gullfoss, also Thingvellir National Park with all its nature phenomenon, Crater Kerið and the historical viking landmark Skálholt. Other interesting places to visit are the active volcanoes Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull, the amazing Westman Islands and beautiful Seljalandsfoss. Stroll through center of the nearby cozy town of Selfoss and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the Reykjavík capital with all its glory, nightlife and culture, or take a day trip to the west to Snæfellsjökull national park or to the east to Vík and the Black Beach. Activities such as horse riding, fishing, hiking and snowmobiling are all in the area.

In the evenings you will always come back home to this modern architecturally designed house in Laugarás and the first thing you might do is to 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 a large kitchen with a long countertop, it is very spacious and ideal for family and friends preparing a good meal together. The kitchen has all necessary tableware and quality equipments 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 and a great variety of TV channels on the large flat screen TV. The bedrooms are bright and spacious, with high quality beds, and a beautiful view. The bathrooms are spacious with long wooden countertops, both with 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 Ólafur Sigurðsson who designed many of our spectacular modern houses in Iceland.

Perfect Place to Stay
Our family chose this house due to its proximity to the Golden Circle and the fact it was a bit off the grid - it did not disappoint. Modern home with gorgeous views, and a very helpful host to answer any questions. Loved the hot tub, heated floors and view from the deck. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay and would highly recommend this home.

Wonderful Golden Circle location
We loved our stay here, we brought our 3 married children and their spouses and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. Rooms had gorgeous views. The house’s location is idyllic, rural, but not far from Selfoss and easy to get to lots of fantastic natural wonders. All the amenities we needed, light and airy. Would definitely stay again.

Incredible Property in Iceland
Everything about our stay in Iceland was perfect. The house was great and ideal for us wanting to stay in the countryside and be able to venture out and see Iceland during the day. We were able to explore the area and come home at night to a great home to stay in. One of the nights we were able to enjoy the Northern Lights from the Hot Tub on the deck. It was truly all we could ask for.

Couldn’t Have Picked a Better Place!
7 of us stayed here and we all loved the property. It looked exactly like the posting, was clean, and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, or hang out in the same room when we wanted. The location was great, rural, but still within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. Using the hot tub every night was wonderful and we even got to see the Northern Lights!

Serene, Modern Comfort
We stayed five nights in April 2024. We were treated to the Northern Lights our first night. The house is spacious, clean and modern. The beds are very comfortable. It sleeps ten in beds. The area is super quiet. The hot tub is pristine. The host was great and had good documents. The trash/recycling system could be a little more well documented. We did the golden circle, two hot springs and the southern beaches (where we saw Puffins!) Great stay, thanks so much!

Wonderful location for making your memorable trips on the Golden Circle. Also, the drive to the black beach of Vik is very scenic and easy to do from this location. The owners sent out a very thorough document outlining everything regarding restaurants, tourist info, and instructions for the house . Would highly recommend this property.
