Small but mighty: Immersed in nature, 10 minutes from Selfoss

This newly renovated little gem is offered for rent only since autumn 2015:
One enters the entrance hall with cloakroom and a small but functional kitchenette. From the vestibule, go straight to the shower room with WC. Links goes into it the living room and bedroom. There is a comfortable sofa bed (mattress width 1.60), a table with two chairs and a dresser. The room is bright and friendly and we look Trough the window into nature. The terrace has windbreak to the north and in the summer you can sit nicely with wide views to the southwest and west; down to the river, over the vast plain and the surrounding mountains. Sometimes here grazing horses in the pasture.

Quiet relaxing stay
We enjoyed our stay. The location was central for us to use as a hub to take day trips out and back from. It was just the right size for two. The guesthouse was clean and bright and we were greeted by chickens and a rooster upon arrival.

Me and my partner stayed here for 7 days, the property was absolutely perfect. The location is great it’s easy to find and tucked away but also 10 minutes from town (Selfoss) and 50 minutes from the south coast sites. The cabin was very cosy and had all the amenities we needed, the bed was comfy and perfect. We woke up and were greeted by chickens and a dog outside which was a lovely surprise. The best part was we saw the northern lights from the cabin on the last night, Petra was easy to communicate with and welcoming. Would highly recommend!

Hidden Gem
Beautiful property located just east of Selfoss with easy access to the southern region. 10 minutes outside of Selfoss where there are grocery stores, restaurants etc. Secluded with a beautiful river running through front of the property. You might even get to say hi to some chickens!

Best place to stay in southern Iceland
This place was clean, cozy and had everything I needed including wifi and a small kitchen. Everything that I wanted to visit was within a one hour distance in every direction. The price is fair. The place is quiet and beautiful surrounded by horses and nature. The views are breathtaking and at night if you are lucky you'll see every star in the sky and the northern lights like I did. Thanks Petra.

Phenomenal stay- we saw the aurora from the porch!
As stated, we managed to get a glimpse of the aurora from the porch, which was so nice at the end of our week long stay. When we first arrived, we had a minor issue with the WiFi and shower drain- Petra was responsive and fixed these issues immediately and even checked in with us later in the week. The cabin was a lovely place to come home to after long cold days in Iceland, and we would love to stay here again!

Perfect location in nature but close to town
Petra is a fantastic host and even lent us an appliance! She offers great recommendations to travel as well. The place itself was exactly as expected and had everything needed for a week stay for 2 people. The location gave us the feeling of being secluded in nature while still being close to town, charging/gas, and most importantly, easy access to the golden circle, black sand beach, waterfalls, hot springs and many other beautiful things Iceland has to offer with only a short drive! Hope to be back soon. Thanks!

Great house to stay.
We had one issue. The adres wasn’t on Google maps. And Apple Maps give me a wrong adres. But lucky we had some direction from the owner. So we can locate the adres. But after we found the house it was very comfortable and was a great stay. The shower wasn’t capable of standing on his own. But personally not a issue. We recommend to others who want to stay in Iceland. This is the locatie Apple Maps: 63,93205° N, 20,84315° W You’re welcome.

Quiet and convenient
The location is great - just outside Selfoss so it was easy to access Selfoss for gas, restaurants and groceries, etc. but it was in a quiet, country-like location. The house was a great size with a well stocked kitchen. Best thing - we got to see the northern lights while standing on the driveway!

Home base
Our stay in Selfoss was great, everything is as shown. This was a great home base for all the sites on the south coast. We did stay one night in Jökulsárlón beings it was about a 4 hour drive to do our glacier hike and boat tour. Worked out great.

Maison cocon
Dépaysement assuré avec cette maison vraiment cocon et sympathique en face des montagnes et rivière. La vue était splendide. Petra est vraiment gentille et avenante. Elle s'est proposé de nous previnir en cas d'apparition d'aurore boréale. Rien à dire sur la propreté ou la fonctionnalité de la maison. Je recommande

Sehr gemütlich und sauber
Wir hatten hier eine sehr schöne Zeit. Das kleine Haus hat alles, was man braucht und ist sehr platzsparend und gleichzeitig gemütlich eingerichtet, sodass wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt haben. Wir waren zu zweit und hatten genug Platz. Die Gastgeberin war auch super nett und hat ziemlich schnell auf Fragen geantwortet. Besonders toll fand ich, dass die Heizung schon an war, als wir abends im Kalten ankamen, und das Haus somit schön warm war für unseren Empfang. Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft!!

Nettes Tinyhouse mitten in der Natur
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Alles ist wie beschrieben. Ruhig, 10 Minuten nach Selfoss und ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um den Süden Islands zu erkunden. Checkin und Checkout ist problemlos und Petra ist eine nette, hilfsbereite Person. Das Tinyhouse ist kein Luxusappartment, das weiß man aber. Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt und würden es wieder buchen.
