Luxury House with Hot Tub close to Snæfellsnes National Park, Iceland top five

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.

We have been connected to Borgarfjörður since childhood and would like to share good advice and information about the house or the area so don't hesitate to send us an email request about anything you would like to know and we will do our best to help you.

Our family spent 2 nights here while we explored the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Location was great, house was very clean and well supplied. Beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was an added bonus after a long day! We would absolutely stay there again.

Serene Escape
This place was great accommodations. Wish we would have stayed at this location longer. Hot tub was nice, bathrooms were updated, kitchen had ample room to cook and plenty of utensils. The owners were very nice and communicative. Even helped us navigate a storm, when our next location was not very helpful.

Amazing home in West Iceland
I recently stayed here with a group of 5 adults and one toddler, and we all loved our time in this house. The location feels remote, but is convenient to Borgarnes and is an excellent home base for exploring West Iceland. The house is both modern and very comfortable. Our host was responsive and friendly over messaging. I would certainly stay here again!

Beautiful home in a great location!
This was the perfect place for our family to end our two weeks in Iceland! The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable and very well-equipped. It's so peaceful, and the views are spectacular. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, and the view from the hot tub is amazing. Definitely would come back, and highly recommend it!

Better than the pictures!
We had a wonderful stay here. We got a glimpse of the northern lights from the hot tub. We stay at the end of April so the tail end of being able to see them. Great location to town and to the western region. The house was clean, the heated floor and heated drying racks were great! We’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful modern house
The house is timelessly modern, clean and very well equipped. It is in a remote location with little light-pollution, ideally to watch northern lights - if there are. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We'd love to come back if we have the opportunity!

This is a truly great house with stunning scenery. Never had breakfast with quite such a view before. Spent three days exploring the surrounding areas and three nights watching the northern lights. All in all a great experience and Heidi was a helpful, friendly host. Will definitely be back!

Great house in the country
My family of five stayed in this comfortable home outside of Borgarnes. It was a great place to spend three nights for our exploration of western Iceland. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The home is modern and spacious. If you want a place to stay where you feel like you are away from it all yet close enough to a grocery store, stay here!!!

Awesome place to stay
Great and easy booking process, great communications from the owners. This is in a fabulous area for exploring and with a great bakery in nearby Borganes. The house was an amazing eco house with great views and just one of those places you feel really relaxed in. The house felt bigger than the images suggested on the website and our little one had a great time running round. I cannot in anyway fault our stay here and would definitely stay again without hesitation.

Perfect place to stay
This place was great for 3 couples. House feels private, Clean and well stocked. The outdoor space is fantastic, hot tub is a great way to end the night. The house is about 10 minutes from town. We did a day trip to snaefells peninsula. Got back late and cooked a nice dinner. Only feedback is watch your head on the exhaust fan above the stove.

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.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
We went to Iceland to try to catch the Northern Lights and were blessed to have been able to see them from this beautiful home! We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, spacious design, and comfortable furniture! We didn't use the hot tub as we expected to but hit up the (sort of) nearby Krauma hot springs. We really appreciated our AWD with studded tires as the road to the home was very icy on many days. Everything was as expected and advertised. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Perfect home away from home
For the five of us (= 3 generations) it was the perfect holiday home: great location, modern and clean with everything you could wish for. Watching northern lights from the hot tub on the terrace was certainly the icing on the cake. We hope to be back some day and can highly recommend the house for people who love the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. A big thank you to our hosts who made us feel welcome from the moment of booking and accompanied us all the way with lots of information and updates.

Beautiful home with incredible views
We loved this home. It is quite spacious and has incredible views. In the daytime, you can look at the mountains from the hot tub and/or living room; at night, Northern Lights! Heidi was a wonderful hostess who provided an incredible amount of detail about getting to the home, how to operate appliances at the home, and things to do nearby. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful location with great access to wilds of northwest Iceland
Our family stay here was just perfect. The house is well equipped and the details provided on the use of the various appliances was very helpful. We used the house as a base and ventured out each day to explore the natural beauty of northwest Iceland. We had two excellent meals in Borgarnes (about 15 minutes away) and made the bakery our first stop in the morning. Our boys really enjoyed the hot tub and 24 hours of daylight made for wonderfully long days.

A fantastic stay in a beautiful home.
Definitely a luxury house with every need and want catered for from a glorious hot tub to a high quality coffee machine, lovely veranda and beautiful views. All the rooms finished to a high standard and as a family of 5 we had plenty of space and the children loved enjoying the outdoors while dinner was being made. Owner very helpful sending an email to alert us to the northern lights and providing any information we required such as local restaurants. In all a fabulous holiday close to the golden circle and many beautiful national park areas.
