Selfoss accommodations
The house was located in beautiful setting. We could see mountains around us and caught a beautiful sunset our first evening there. There was a deck that went 3/4 of the way around the house with a hot tub to enjoy after traveling. It was a convenient location to enjoy sightseeing.

Absolutely gorgeous
Loved to stay in the Cabin! Great Location for the south area. The cabin is very comfortable and have everything you need. We just had a bit of trouble getting the hot water going and the pipes make a lot of noise while you use the shower, but other than that, we loved it here and would love to come back! Host communication is impecable! Thank you so much for such great experience! Jessica B

Awesome location
Our family used this house as a base for several days in order to see the Golden circle and other sights. It was a nice, quiet, peaceful location. The steps to the loft are steep and kids need to be careful.

Incredible property in stunning country
We absolutely loved our stay at House Ingolfsfjal. The property is bigger than it looks on the photos so plenty of room for 5 adults. The beds are comfy and blackout blinds in the rooms mean it stays dark. Communication with Rainer and Stephanie was excellent and they were so helpful. The house was so well equipped with absolutely everything we needed and excellent instructions on where to find things. The hot pot was glorious after hiking and sightseeing days and the views from inside we wonderful! We were so sad to leave this amazing house and would love to return to Iceland and to this house.

Great location and fun house for family
Great location for Golden Circle activities! The two bedrooms on the bottom floor were perfect for the adults, and the two teenagers enjoyed being able to "escape" up to the loft. We traveled in Feb and could see the northern lights while sitting on the deck. Highly recommend.

Perfect Iceland Home Base!
I could not wait to come home and review this property. We didn't want to stay right in Reykjavik as we had some tours booked in southern Iceland and wanted to really explore the Golden Circle. This house was the perfect location for all of our adventures. Only 30 minutes north to Thingvellir, a couple hours east brings you to black sand beaches and waterfalls, and less than an hour to Reykjavik and the more popular lagoons. The house was cozy, comfortable, and came with a manual that answered any questions we may have had. The hosts were very responsive and had lots of insight and suggestions about sights to see. Would stay here again and again!

Well Maintained
On arrival the accommodation was as anticipated being well maintained, clean and quiet with close proximity to all Golden Circle Activities as noted in description. Owners were very helpful with any questions and information prior to our arrival for our stay. We would be happy to stay again if in the area!

Exceeded expectations!
This house was the perfect place for my family of 5 to stay for our Iceland vacation! Location was a great home base for sightseeing day trips. The views we spectacular, and the house was actually even better than the pictures showed! The house included all of the comforts of home (kitchen was stocked with all the appliances/gadgets you would want), and the detailed check in packet and communication from hosts made it a breeze to rent this property! I simply cannot say enough good things about this property!

Splendid accomodation
We visited Iceland with our 8month old son. The accommodation had everything we could've wished for. Very tidy, well equipped and instructions on how to use everything. Rainer and Stefanie really did a great job with that. The communication before, whilst and after our trip was exceptionally good. Stefanie always answered within an hour or so and made us feel at ease. The location of the house is great too. We felt welcome and at home in a few hours after our arrival ans had a really good time at house Ingolfsfjall. Definitely recommend staying there! Thanks a lot for an awesome time, Manuel, Marion, Theo and Hanna

House was very nice, remote and quiet
Nice spartan decor. All basic Ikea style. No dryer (just a washing machine). Wish there was better sun blocking on blinds to address 24 hour sunlight. Owner attempted to collect extra undisclosed housekeeping fee after booking was fully paid. (should have been collected at time of booking) Very nice restaurant is only 2 minutes away. Centrally located near Golden circle attractions. Very clean and communication was clear. Good cell phone service and good internet. 15 minutes from nearest town with services (selfoss) Thx

Let down by poor access route
This property is in a great location for visiting the sights of southern Iceland with shops within 20min drive. The house has pleasant views all around and was found to be spacious, comfortable and well equipped however, the hot tub was not working when we visited. A word of warning for winter visitors relates to the access road beyond a padlocked gate. We visited after a period of heavy snow which resulted in the track to the house being indiscernible and difficult to navigate even with a 4x4. The road was not cleared or treated throughout our stay and on day 2 we spent the morning digging ourselves out of a drift across the track by hand as there is no shovel at the property. Unfortunately on day 4 we slipped into a ditch by the gate resulting in a 35k isk tow charge! Bearing in mind we drove 600km during our stay without incident (including periods of heavy snow) we were disappointed that our main challenge was getting to and from the property each day. The location is relatively remote and very few other properties were occupied during our stay although other site users had access through an electronic gate on a cleared track. Don’t be put off going to Iceland in winter though, it is amazing. I would only recommend this property if you are a competent 4x4 driver and are happy to fend for yourselves if the weather is poor.

Great location, comfortable cabin!
We were very pleased with how well this cabin was laid out, with lots of room in the common areas so that several people could be cooking or working at the table without feeling crowded. Everything was clean, up to date and in very good condition. The kitchen was easy to work in. Bathroom was well-appointed and worked out well. It had not been clear to us from the description of the cabin of how steep the stairs are to get up to the loft. One of our party said it was more like a ladder. The loft is not an ideal accommodation for older adults. We appreciated having the use of the washer and dryer; thank you for the clear and detailed instructions including pictures. We did not use the hot pot but again the instructions were so clear we were confident we could have used it easily. The cabin was so cozy! We appreciated the radiant heat in the floor. And the location made it very easy to get to everything we wanted to explore in the south of Iceland. We had privacy and lots of space around the cabin, yet it was just a few minutes into town or onto the road to go places. There were a few points that we wanted to mention for future renters. A minor one was that only one bath towel was provided per person; some of us like to use a separate towel when we wash our hair. The other point seemed more serious. Since the front door locks automatically when it closes, and only one house key was provided, we took precautions to make sure we wouldn't get locked out. Especially in the middle of winter, if we all went out to see the Northern Lights (which we saw on several nights) and the door closed and locked, we could be out in the cold with no phone, no car keys, and few if any neighbors around who could have helped. We were thinking that a second house key would solve the problem. One key could be left in the lock box for emergencies. All in all it was a great stay in a great cabin and we thank our hosts for having everything set up so well for us. We appreciated all the detailed information they provided about the cabin location, codes for locks, how to use things in the cabin and how to contact them if and when necessary. They were prompt, friendly and courteous whenever we did get in touch with them. Thanks for everything!

Beautiful
Our stay at this property was unforgettable! Nestled in a beautiful location on the Golden Circle with wide open skies to view the Northern Lights. The house itself was cozy and well-appointed, with modern amenities and a warm atmosphere. We especially loved the hot pot, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The host's detailed instructions made checking in a breeze. This was the ideal base for our adventures, and we hope to return soon!

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus mit toller Ausstattung und super Lage
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Das Ferienhaus war wirklich sehr schön. Lage sehr ruhig, jedoch nicht zu abgelegen in einem Gebiet mit mehreren Ferienhäusern, welche jedoch alle einen guten Abstand zueinander haben. Alles sehr sauber, Küche mit kompletter Ausstattung. Es fehlte an nichts! Sehr gutes Informationsmaterial in einer übersichtlichen Mappe mit Infos zum Haus wirklich guten Tips zu schönen Orten in der Umgebung. Technik gut erklärt! Vor Anreise ausführliche Reiseinformationen erhalten! Man merkt sofort, das die Besitzer Stefanie und Rainer nicht reine Vermieter sind, sondern den Gästen den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich gestalten möchten, was sich auch in ein einer sehr guten und angenehmen Kommunikation vor und nach unserem Urlaub dargestellt hat. Wir konnten sogar flexibel einen Tag vorher als geplant anreisen, was uns sehr entgegenkam. Wir können eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für dieses Ferienhaus und deren Vermieter aussprechen. Vielen Dank!

Very nice cottage!
We stayed here for 4 nights in July, two adults and two children (8 and 10). The cottage is located a 30-45 min drive from a lot of cool sites, and 20 mins from Selfoss with shops and cafés. The cottage itself is really nice, clean and well kept, with a very nice hot tub! Would recommend sleeping with the windows closed in the summer though, to keep the gnats/mosquitos out. We learned the hard way the first night 😅

Zes daagse reis Ijsland
We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in dit huis. De ligging is perfect om de hoogtepunten van de Golden cirkel te verkennen en circa een uur rijden vanaf de hoofdstad Reykjavik. We vonden het heel fijn dat het huisje in een heel rustig gebied ligt, perfect om tot rust te komen. Het huis zelf heeft alles wat je nodig hebt: prima keuken en badkamer. Fijne hoekbank waar we na onze drukke dagen heerlijk tot rust konden komen. Het huis heeft een grote veranda waar je heerlijk kunt genieten van het fantastische uitzicht. Het is ook heel fijn dat een hoop dingen in het huis voorradig zijn, zoals vaatwasblokjes, vuilniszakken, handzeep, toiletpapier, wasmiddel, vaatdoekjes, peper en zout, en zo nog meer. Heel fijn dat we dat niet hoefden aan te schaffen, je gebruikt er immers maar weinig van. Ook is het huisje schoon, prima bedden. Als ik een minpunt moet noemen zou ik zeggen dat het huisje vrij gehorig is maar wij waren ‘s avonds zo moe van alle indrukken dat we toch wel sliepen. Om te gaan eten kunnen wij Phrastalunder aanbevelen. En de krater vonden wij heel indrukwekkend en moet je zeker bekijken. We kunnen een verblijf in dit huisje absoluut aanbevelen. Een huurauto is een vereiste.
