Cozy, Sweet, Amazing Views
This was such a great little spot to relax in at the end of every day of adventure. Cozy, homey environment. Water pressure in shower was great. Everything was lovely. Views outside by the river were amazing.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Perfect location for natural beauty!
We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend for a couple. We could make breakfast there and have snacks stored in the fridge for a lunch on the road. We would HIGHLY recommend Krisp for dinner in Selfoss and the pub nearby. Petra was fabulous! We even got to see the Northern Lights briefly from the north-facing windows on our last night.

Perfect little cottage
I booked this place for my dad and sister to quarantine in leading up to my wedding in Iceland. Petra stocked the house with groceries for them and was very accommodating in so many ways. My family loved their stay and walking around the property to visit the horses.

Great cozy place; great host; great locale
Really a special little place. Scenic and peaceful, with animals all around, a view of a mountain, and great Icelandic atmosphere. Close to Selfoss, but far enough away to avoid tourist traffic. Petra the host was super helpful and kind. Definitely recommend for one or two (very familiar) people.

Loved it
We stayed here over Christmas and it was a magical experience. The location is ideal: a short drive from Selfoss but "in the middle of nowhere". 360 degree views that go in forever. Very peaceful. The cottage was all we had hoped for: super clean, cozy and warm. The Christmas lights were nice! Petra was very helpful and communicative. Would stay here again any time.

Wow! This place was absolutely perfect for my husband and my stay in Iceland. Great location, only an hour away from gorgeous waterfalls, 1.5/2 hours away from Black sand beach/Vik, and 45 minutes away from snorkeling Silfra.

Great location, great little place, great host!
Before we even checked in, we had some car trouble not too far from our Vrbo and Petra helped us from being stranded on the side of the road. We’re very grateful for her kindness and hospitality. The cabin has everything you need, and we really liked being out of the city but close enough to run to Selfoss if we needed something. Petra accommodated all of our needs and then some. We highly recommend staying here and would do it again if we come back! The cabin is clean and tidy, no complaints on our end! You MUST Stay here if you’re passing through Selfoss. We stayed a whole week!

We loved our stay at Petra's house near Sellfoss
Many thanks to Petra for a lovely stay! The small house provided a warm and private refuge after our days out. It was nicely and efficiently furnished, very clean and comfortable for the two of us. The directions were great and getting there was easy. We were very grateful for Petra's offers of assistance and recommendations while we were visiting. We would definitely recommend Petra's house to anyone visiting Iceland looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay. Scott and Pauline

Easy to find, cozy and stayed warm with all the rain and wind.
This was perfect for two people a little outside of Selfoss. Kitchen space is a bit small with no freezer portion but basic supplies to cook up basic meals.
