Comfortable cottage

We spent 3 nights at this cottage for exploring parts of the Golden Circle. The cottage was a perfect home away from home. It had the necessary amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The dining and living room areas were a decent size for a family of 4-6 people. The bunk bed and pillows weren’t the most comfortable. There were no housekeeping as this is a stand alone cottage which we were fine with. The main restaurant was closed during our stay. The location was nice as it was off the main highway yet there were plenty of privacy. The hot tub was the cherry on top! Overall, I would recommend this place.

The cottage met our expectations. We wanted a rural location with a hot tub and centrally located in the Golden Circle. This was exactly what we got. Staff was very responsive to our questions and asks. I would definitely come back to this location again.

Nice individual basic cottage. Only stayed one night but kitchen looked well stocked with kitchen items if you were to cook. Bathroom shower was small but hot water was hot and pressure was good. Dark enough outside for viewing northern lights. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked like people enjoyed it.

Great stay - beware of slippery shower room!

Recommended and the hot tub was wonderful! However, just to be aware - be very careful if you use the shower near the hot tubs. The floor can be very slippery and in fact, I fell and hurt my knee and left foot which was bruised purple for weeks afterward. I highly recommend they put down some kind of rubber mat to keep people from slipping!

Very cute and rural. 20 mins from Selfoss but little light pollution in the area. We saw the northern lights from the hot tub! but they were easier to see when we took a drive. Very convenient to a lot of golden circle stops and great that it had a restaurant because there aren't many super close. Did not have ice or free coffee and there was no breakfast available. Kitchen was nice to have for sure. There was no oil or anything though. Hot tubs and shower were very hot! Cabin was also cozy. You cannot control the temperature.

Everything was great! The TV did not work and we were not able to find the DVD player that we were told was there but otherwise good. And we just slept instead of watching TV. Probably needed that more anyways

Nice quiet cottage with double bed that has a single bunk above it. The full kitchen was great and we did BBQ each night for dinner. There are several soaking tubs and an optional group gathering room with BBQs and outdoor tables. It's quiet, peaceful, and the front desk staff are very helpful.
