This home was absolutely perfect! We all loved the decor as well as the location of the property. It has a beautiful view of the surrounding river and tree lines. Very close to so many beautiful locations as well as shopping and wonderful restaurants. We were very happy with this home and the hosts. They are very responsive and answer messages quickly. If I am ever back in Iceland, I would not hesitate to book this fantastic home.

We had the best time at Kristin's home in Hveragerði! The home was absolutely beautiful- the views from the kitchen/living room were absolutely stunning. We traveled with my parents who are in the late 70s/early 80s and the house was perfectly laid out both in terms of giving us separate spaces, and also for my mother who has a disability. So much ease of access to all rooms, to the beautiful patio, and also to the shower! The location couldn't be more perfect- we were able to see all of the south of Iceland, easily with in a 30 minute to 1.5 hour drive, depending on our destination. We loved being close to Reykjavik (it took about 40 minutes to get there), but really loved our little town more. So much to do in all directions, and so much peace at the end of the day. It could not have been a better stay. Kristin is also a very easily accessible, helpful host. Thank you so much!

Great location, amenities

Our party of 7 including 3 small kids stayed here for 5 days and did day trips to Golden Circle, South Coast and Reykjavík. Perfect location from everything. We also swam at the Selfoss city pool which the kids loved. We shopped at the local Bonus for groceries and fixed all our meals to save time and money. We loved the hot tub at the house! Highly recommend. Host was very responsive!

Amazing!

This place was amazing! We had 7 adults and everyone had plenty of room (it could easily accommodate more). I loved the open floor concept so the people cooking could still watch TV and interact with the group. We saw the northern lights twice, both from the hot tub in the middle of the night. The rest of the time the weather didn’t cooperate. The host was amazing and even let us check in a little early. I definitely recommend this place!

Amazing Home

I cannot say enough good things about this property. It has a wonderful location. We were close enough to town to enjoy restaurants and grocery stores, but remote enough to go hiking from the yard and enjoy nature. It was clean, well-appointed, and Kristin the owner, was wonderful. The drive to the national park and the crater wasn’t long at all. We experienced a lot of rain during our stay which made the sights difficult, however it was great to come home to a warm home at the end of the day. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it.

Great location and good size house

We chose this house for the size and proximity to specific sites we wanted to visit. The house had many extras that made it feel like home. The location of the home was perfect. It was central to the area we wanted to visit, from Vik to Reykjavik to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano to the Gulfoss Waterfall. There's also a grocery store in town to grab snacks for the drive or purchase food to fix at the house. Don't forget about the bakery. It opens early and is a nice treat, as well.

Fantastic house, perfect location

I wanted to find a house for the week for my family to explore Iceland outside of Reykjavik. Hveragerdi was the perfect location as it is only 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavik, and right in the middle of the golden circle. It was also just under a 2-hour drive to Vik and all that little town has to offer. The house met all of our expectations, was comfortable, and extremely private. Hveragerdi is also a nice little town with plenty of restaurants and the new "Greenhouse" that has shops, food, and drinks. Kristin was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions.

Perfect location for home base

This property was amazing - photos don’t do it justice - it felt much larger than the photos. It was the perfect home base for a family trip. The hot spring river trail was amazing. Very nice town, lots of choices for eating out, or getting food to prepare in. I will definitely recommend Kristins property to anyone who is looking to do a trip to Iceland.

Beautiful home close to Golden Circle

Beautiful and well appointed home close to some of the most popular attractions in Iceland. Beds and linens were comfortable and neighborhood was dark (for the northern lights) and quiet. Hot tub was a big hit and there is a river babbling through the back yard. Steam is rising from fissures all around which was so unique. Five stars all around.

Perfect Home-Base to Explorer Southwest Iceland

Our 9-person family had a wonderful stay in Kristin's beautiful riverside home. It was well furnished with everything we needed. The location -- on a quiet street just north of Hvergerdi town and adjacent to several outstanding walking trails -- and beautiful views of the river were highlights. We also used the hot tub several times at the end of our day trips around Iceland. Hvergerdi is an ideal location to base yourself for day trips across the amazing sights in Southwest Iceland. For example: 1 hr drive to Geysir / Thingvellir, 40 min to Reykjavik, 2 hours to South Coast sights, 3 hours to Snaefellsness, 4 hours to Glacier Lagoon / Diamond Beach. Kristin was readily available to help with our questions and needs. An outstanding property and outstanding host!

Great stay in Iceland

Family of 5 (ages 5, 9, and 11) spent three nights in this cute Icelandic town about 40 minutes outside Reykjavik.
