Luxury, Modern, Amazing River/Mountain view with Hot Tub. Winter/Summer Holiday

Víðines is a perfect base for your Icelandic holiday. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsnes 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 the Ice tunnel in 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 Víðines 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. Did I mention that this house is in a fantastic Nature Hiking Paradise...

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. The bathroom is spacious with a large countertop, a large shower room and a warm towel rack. The house has all latest equipment; FREE WIFI, large flat screen TV, dishwasher, washing machine and everything between. See detailed facility and equipment below. The guest house has a double bed and a bathroom with a towel rack. Beside the guest house is an outside shower, perfect to use before entering the hot tub.

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 greatest architects, Guðfinna Thordarson, that has also designed many other modern houses in Iceland.

On the large patio surrounding the house is a nice hot tub that fits up to 7 people, outdoor shower, barbecue grill and comfortable outdoor seating. The patio is perfect for making a good meal and relaxing in the peaceful environment.

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.

Wonderful home
Amazing home, modern and well kept, with stunning views of the mountains and a great place for viewing the aurora borealis. A beautiful deck and hot tub, and a cute guest house with half bath a bit separate from the main house. A fireplace in the living room was very cozy. There were kids games and toys for different ages. Plenty of linens and towels provided, and the host was helpful and communicative, with easy arrival, check-in and check-out. The location was great for our adventures exploring Iceland in November. Would highly recommend for a family stay; we hope to return!!

Beautiful and peaceful
The house is beautiful, and the views from all the windows are wonderful. Being Canadian, we did need to turn the temperature down on some of the thermostats :) We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace with the supplied wood, and saw the northern lights from the hot tub. Bed was very comfortable and again, being Canadian, we adapted to having separate duvets on one bed! Instructions and directions were very timely and clear and made for a seamless arrival and departure. We loved it there, thank you for making our first trip to Iceland so comfortable!

Perfect stay
This is our third time in Iceland & we have stayed in a different part each time. I have to say that this location is ideal for getting to the north & the peninsula. The house is in a quiet location & it has everything you need. Everything is in great working order & it’s clean & homey. The communication with the owner is excellent & they have very thorough house instructions that I appreciate. I would gladly stay here again & I highly recommend it to others.

This house was absolutely perfect for our group of nine. The house was well stocked and the owners were wonderful with communication and information about the house and the surrounding area. It is located in the perfect place and we walked to the waterfall everyday and were able to climb the crater once. It was a good spot to feel relaxed, but close enough to Borganes to grab groceries etc. The house itself was lovely and the hot tub and scenery were perfect after a day of hiking.

Perfect stay!
We spent 3 nights here and really enjoyed our stay! It was the best accommodations of our trip. The house is welcoming and well equipped with everything we needed such as towels and kitchen supplies. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. We enjoyed spending our evenings in the hot tub with the beautiful views of the mountains. There are a few other houses near by, but far enough away where the house still felt private and peaceful. We were able to walk to a nearby waterfall and enjoyed the many lupine flowers blooming in the area. We would highly recommend and hope to make our way back in the future!

Luxury in the Lava Field
Cannot say enough about this place. Owners really have made a beautiful and peaceful home away from home. Very clean, super comfortable beds, great kitchen space in open living area. Views of dramatic scenery at every turn. Appreciated the blackout curtains in bedrooms and the hot tub was awesome especially after a long day of hiking. Lots of towels and wash clothes and the outdoor shower was a bonus!! Great place to explore western Iceland. My family really enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave such a lovely place.

What a view !!
The house is amazing overall, with everything you might need, including lots of towels, card games, and a wood burning stove. The view off the back porch of the nearby river and mountains was incredible, and with Gianni Falls just a short walk away. It could use a second indoor shower, but otherwise we loved it and would stay again.

We stayed here upon our arrival to Iceland. The home was very comfortable for our group of 8. My parents enjoyed having their our space in the guesthouse. My kids loved the outdoor shower and hot tub. The scenery was lovely with the stream beyond the house. We walked to Glanni waterfall from the house and Grabarok crater was around 2.5 miles away. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property
This was a great house to use as a base for our week long Icenlandic adventure for our family of 5 adults. The directions are very easy to follow to get into the house as well as the directions for the appliances, hot tub, etc. If you are traveling from the US, note that you have to use the county code of 35 to operate the gate but it does work with "wi-fi" calling. The property is in a very quiet area and we enjoyed using the outdoor shower, hot tub and the fireplace for the rainy evenings. The hot tub in the rain was actually quite pleasant. In addition we walked every morning to the waterfall and the beautiful "oasis". The house comes stocked with all the basics needed for your stay - plenty of towels, paper goods, salt, pepper, foil, etc. Highly recommended!

This was an excellent location for our adult family of 8 (4 couples) to relax and enjoy each other’s company between amazing excursions. The location provides convenient access to Reykjavik, parts of the Golden Circle and Western Iceland. We had plenty of space and the amenities were great! Lots of towels, a well stocked kitchen, fireplace, big windows everywhere, and fantastic outdoor living space including a hot tub that was used daily. Communication with the hosts was excellent and the surroundings were amazing. There is a beautiful waterfall just minutes walk away, springs burbling up out of the ground, a volcanic crater and more. Highly recommend.

Wonderful home away from it all. Thorough instructions - just needed a bit of help operating stove and struggled with many light switches which we couldn’t quite figure out how to get total darkness! Wonderful spot - make sure you have 4WD in winter as any significant snowfall might leave you stuck for days - not that that would be all that bad!!

Great stay in a great location
The house was easy to find, thanx to great directions from Robert and Heidrun. The photos of the listing are exactly as they are in real life. The hot tub and outdoor shower were great - even though we had to withstand some pretty strong, cold winds! Brrr! The beds, bedding, and towels were perfect and the kitchen is well appointed! The heated floors were a welcome addition! The views from the back windows were excellent and the location of the home made it feel very private. It was great having two bathrooms for the 5 of us - no one had to wait while someone was in the shower to use the toilet. It took a bit to get used to the light switches and the fact that they dim if you hold them down. The property was exceptionally clean and everything was in good working order. The only complaint I would have is that for some reason we only managed to get 1 1/2 people showered before running out of hot water. You would then need to wait about an hour before the next hot shower. I would highly recommend this house and its location. We stayed for 3 nights and did a few day trips each day from the house. It was an easy trip into Borgarnes as well as up to Snaefellsnes. Thank you for having us!
