Cosy house in a fantastic area
Nice place to stay with plenty to see around! I worked remotely here and enjoyed the kitties daily visits on the back porch! In unit laundry was wonderful and having all the appliances I needed- kettle, microwave! Thanks for the great stay!

Home, great location, fantastic view and patio
We enjoyed our stay at the lovely house. Our highlight was for sure the lovely living area with its huge windows to watch the ocean and the arriving planes as well as fabulous whirlpool :)

Perfect for holidays
Björgvin is a great host and his place was everything our group was looking for. Remote house, with a hot tub, grill and good vibes. The location and the view from the terrace is beautiful with only a few minutes drive to the nearest town. Björgvin was really friendly and offered his assistance if we needed anything which was a nice touch.

Charming house, romantic, spacious and beautiful!
What a great find! The place was perfect and the rooms were spacious, warm and comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub and I loved the books! I read a Steinbeck book which I greatly appreciated. The kitchen was beautiful as was the sunroom. I imagine the sunroom would be the perfect room to see the Northern Lights. The neighborhood was peaceful and we even got to spend a little time with one of the neighbors who was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very spacious, clean & nicely designed. If you are looking for horseback riding our kids LOVED “Riding Tours South Iceland.” Our stay was absolutely wonderful. I would love to return there someday.

Selið Cottage Traditional w\ hot tub and lake view
This house is beautiful and the view is amazing. We loved soaking in the hot tub while gazing at the glacier in the distance, surrounded by trees. There are stairs to access the house, but we were able to navigate them just fine. The nearby town had a lovely spa, Laugarvatn Fontana, that we enjoyed, and we recommend the restaurant Linden. We stayed two nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The host was responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

5 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms
I had a fantastic New Year in a beautiful Nordic family home. Jön's accommodation was beautiful and a wonderful resting place. It was fantastic to stay here in Iceland.

Cozy private house with Jacuzzi
Great home! Very stylish and comfortable. We felt very at home here. The hot tub was a great place to relax at the end of the day.

Spacious & warm family house on the Golden Circle
we spent three nights in a very pleasant accommodation close to many sites. it is very well equipped, quiet and we were able to see northern lights from the sofa through the glass windows of the living room. we highly recommend this accommodation! thank you for the welcome and the ideas for visits nearby!

Cosy Northern Lights cottage on Golden Circle
Our family of six adults really enjoyed spending Christmas and New Year's at Bjork's place. It was warm and cozy, with underfloor heating keeping the slate tiles toasty, a big couch in the living room, and lots of windows to enjoy the views. The hot tub was amazing and we had stunning northern lights one night. The house is in a gated community a couple km off the road, and this road can be slippery, so a 4x4 car or jeep might be a good idea in winter. These same quiet roads were great for walks - not much traffic and wonderful views in any direction you choose to walk. The trash/recycling center handled all sorts of materials - even organics! Bjork was really helpful, going above and beyond to check out holiday hours for grocery stores and help us locate jumper cables. The house is a 15 minute drive to Selfoss (shoutout to Kronan) and 8 minutes to Kerid Crater. Hveragerdi is 20 minutes, with a wonderful bakery, a geopark where for a small fee you can boil an egg in a hot spring.

Golden Circle Villa - Hot Tub & Sauna
Very nice house with amazing views

Luxury cabins with waterfront view
A great cabin for a large group - we had 6 adults with room to spare. No issues with hot water, but we ran into a late night flooding issue in cabin 1, which Arni responded to the next morning. Can prep a basic meal in the clean kitchen, lots of dishware available. Cabins are warm and are well insulated, with amazing views of that gorgeous lake. Pillows and blankets were so comfortable. This is a solid location for fishing if you’re into that, with an outdoor sink by the lake as well. We loved driving home and saying hi to the sheep, lamb, and horses. There’s laundry, which is great, but the dryer is less effective than we expected (if you’re used to American dryers) so just watch out for that. Internet is perfect from the common cabin but inaccessible from the others. Need to pack shampoo/conditioner/hair dryer. We loved our stay here but note: beware Google maps if it takes you on Grafningsvegur Efri and then Klifsskogur - a narrow road that closes (at night/always?).

3 BR Gold Circle Summerhouse-HotTub-Patio-LakeView
This home offered a cozy place to stay for our family of 9 as we visited the Golden Circle. The rural location was so peaceful. The kitchen was nice for meal preparation and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this home for your stay!

Beautiful villa in Hveragerdi
We were absolutely amazed when we walk in to the house. Hjordis’s house is even nicer than in to the photos! House was very stylish, clean and cozy and with all little details which were waiting there for us we were really amazed. There were also provided everything you should need during your stay here. Also instructions was very clear so we didn’t have a problem with anything. It was also great location for our shorter Icelandic trip and we catch everything we wanted to see from there.

Light and Airy Living by the Sea
Gudrun’s home is really lovely. We travelled with little kids and is perfect for families seeking a comfortable and memorable stay. With a well equipped kitchen, it’s easy to prepare home-cooked meals, while the open living spaces offer plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind. Thoughtful touches, cozy decor, and essentials including crib, washer/dryer, private parking make it an ideal place. The home is a quick drive to the town of Selfoss , and practical location to explore the south coast. The only downside is that there is a cemetery across from the house, but overall a great home. Gudrun is a great host - friendly, responsive, and checked in if we needed anything during our stay. This was the perfect stay for our family and would definitely recommend.

Golden Circle House
Egill's place is a beautiful place and very well maintained. It is centrally located in Golder Circle route. It is a very ambient and nice place. It is a very cleaned unit. She is a great responsive and friendly. Selfoss has a good grocery store and other bakery places nearby. She and her husband both are very friendly and great people to deal with. I would sure come back again to her place.

Family House in south of Iceland HG-00002659
Jon's place in Flúðir was a delightful surprise! The space was incredibly comfortable and spacious, perfect for exploring the stunning Icelandic countryside. The bathroom was a particular highlight, feeling more like a luxurious 5-star hotel than a vacation rental. The place was fully equipped with everything I needed, making our stay truly hassle-free. Jon was also very responsive and helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Private house rentals

Romantic well equipped cottiage with a great view.
We really enjoyed Asa's place. It was very clean and had everything you would need: dishes, utensils, a book with detailed instructions on every major appliance in the house. Asa responded quickly to our queries and was very nice over messages, we did not see each other face to face. We would love to be back some day 🙂

Luxury Houses in the Golden Circle-private hot tub
we enjoyed our stay. loved the hot tub.

Cozy family home in Hveragerði
I cannot say enough good things about this house. Not only was the home beautiful clean and very warm, but Vera was such a wonderful and communicative host. We traveled with our two-year-old son and she had a crib highchair and literally everything you could think of set up for a toddler so if you have kids, this is absolutely the place to go. There's even a little treehouse with a slide in the back and at night we could sit in the wonderful hot tub and see the northern lights. I would happily stay here again!!

Ocean Property on the South Coast
We stayed wishing to catch the Northern Lights and we were lucky enough to do so each night and be there for a huge solar storm. We ventured out the first night and after that realized we were able to stay comfy at our airbnb and see them both in the front yard and backyard. The house was spacious and our children 7 & 1 loved the books and toys available. We were offered a portable crib and high chair which were convenient. There were plenty of novels for adults and a variety of books on Iceland. There is a washer and large drying rack, dishwasher, and full kitchen which was wonderful since it is a serene spot you can relax and not run down the road 15 minutes for food or coffee. I enjoyed walking the road to the church and admiring the horses next door. The location is remote and going to parks or the city required an hour drive. Our host was gracious and extended our check out which was helpful. Thank you for your hospitality.

Luxury Retreat with Hot Tub
This place is great! Very cozy and close to the golden circle and Selfoss, which has great restaurants! We especially enjoyed the cozy vibe of the interior furniture and kitchen. We also really enjoyed the hot tub and cold plunge combo. Magnús was really responsive when we had questions, and even got on the phone to walk us through how to fill the hot tub and turn off the lights so we could better view the aurora!

Family friendly home in Selfoss
We had a great time staying here. Its fully equipped place with all the comforts one need. Deanne is always quick to respond to any query/request. Highly recommend.

Beautiful villa close to the golden circle
We had a wonderful stay with our family of 8 adults! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating—he provided an air mattress when we needed one and even came by to turn down the heat when it got a little warm in the evenings. The house was very comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed and more. The hot tub was a highlight—perfect for relaxing after long days of exploring. The location is central and made it easy to see all the must-see sights. It's perfect for exploring the Golden Circle and also a reasonable drive to Diamond Beach and the Glacier Lagoon if you’re up for a road trip. We highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again next time we’re in Iceland!

Sibbu House
We visited in Feb 2025. The house was clean and suited 3 adults well. We enjoyed the resident horses, cat, and dogs. The deck was great for aurora viewing. The house was a little over 20 minutes from Selfoss where we enjoyed meals at the Old Dairy Food Hall (numerous restaurants in one building, reasonable prices), and Byrja (a newer place with great breakfast, lunch, and coffee beverages). Great home base for visiting Golden Circle attractions and Reykjavik.
