House on the Golden Circle, close to Flúðir

The House is located in Árnes, only 5 min drive from the house you are in Árnes, where you can find Gas Station, mini market and shop, there is also a small and cosy swimming pool and a soccer field.  In Árnes you can find Þjórsárstofa visiting center for tourists where you can find information about the area.  
From Árnes you can drive further and find one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, Gjáin.  You can also find waterfalls Hjálparfoss , Háifoss and Granni , Háifoss height is 122m and is the fourth highest waterfall in Iceland.

Town Flúðir is only 10 min away, where you can find Secret Lagoon, swimming pool, small grocery store, and Vínbúð ( liquor store ).  
Town Reykholt is also close by, there you have the popular tomato farm Friðheimar ( one of the most popular place to go on the golden circle ).  Farm Efstidalur is also not far away, there is a nice restaurant and homemade made ice cream.  Laugavatn is also not far away, there you have Fontana ( sauna place ).  And of course the highlight of the Golden Circle Gullfoss and Geysir is close by.  It's a great place in the Icelandic countryside.

Our house has 3 bedrooms, each bedroom has a Double bed ( 140x200 cm ).  Then we have 2 foldable single beds ( 90x200cm ) that can be placed in the bedrooms ( one per bedroom ) or in the living room.  We have two bathrooms, both with nice showers and the bathroom next to the master bedroom has an infrared Sauna.  Kitchen is fully loaded with everything you need.  

Outside we have Hot Pot / Jazzuci.  

In the living room we have a fireplace, it's NOT a normal fireplace where you burn wood .. it's not used to heat the house, the house is heated with hot water that runs in the floors.  The fireplace is a gas fireplace but it's not working at the moment after one of our guests damaged it.  Instead you can use the Tenderflame unit that we have ( see picture ) and you can light candles to have a cosy evening in the living room ( see picture )

During winter time it's a good location to see the Aurora / Northern lights ( if the weather condition is right ), you can see two pictures of the Aurora lights, taken outside the house by one of our guests.

We have a baby crib and high chair for your children.

We provide linen, towels and soap etc.

We manage over 100 properties here in Iceland, most of them in the Reykjavik area and also few outside of Reykjavik.  Please let us know if you would like to split your stay, some nights in Reykjavik and some outside of Reykjavik.  We also offer long term renting.

Cozy Home in the Country
This was the perfect home base for my husband and I while we spent time im South Iceland. The location perfectly balanced our desire for privacy/seclusion while still being writhing reasonable driving distance to stops on the Golden Circle and great food in Selfoss. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax at the end of the day. We were also very blessed to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights on our first night.

Amazing stay
The location was absolutely amazing, it’s location is perfect for if you want to do golden circle; or south coast. All information was provided by host in email. Answered all questions I had, the inside of the house was beautiful. Tons of amenities provided. We enjoyed our stay and got lucky to catch a beautiful northern lights show on our last day thanks to this property being where it was. Will be returning to this property when we come back.

Beautiful house!
Lovely, quiet house, with friendly horses down the road! Easy check-in and very responsive host. Expansive views from the house and relatively short drives to various waterfalls and hikes nearby. Great kitchen; had everything we needed for cooking. Loved the hot pot outside too! Hope to return!

Pleasant stay in a comfortable home
My wife and 5 year old and I enjoyed our 3 nights, the hot tub outside was nice and the place felt like home, the owner was responsive and helpful, and it was a good drivable base for day excursions. It was a nice stay, and good house layout.

Accommodating and friendly host
Our first time in Iceland was amazing because Kjartan made the entire process seamless — even after we requested to stay at one of his other properties!! So happy with our stay, we will definitely be booking again with Kjartan!

Beautiful location. Ideal for golden circle and exploring
Very clean. Well stocked. Lots of space. Me and my extended family (two adults, four kids) had a wonderful time. All three of the bedrooms contain double beds, which were listed as twin beds. This was a little problematic for my teenage son and daughter, but fortunately the hosts provided an extra (fold up) bed for us to use.
