3 Bedroom House in Selfoss, Hella

Herrukot, our holiday home built in 2015, is located in a gorgeous isolated location right on the lakeside. The house contains two separate bedrooms, each with very comfortable beds that are 90x200 cm in size, a bathroom with a floor-level shower, underfloor heating throughout the house, living/dining room with a pull-out sofa bed for two, and a completely equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, a ceramic-top stove (4 hobs), and an oven. With a floor area of 66 sq.m, it offers a relaxing vacation. Wi-Fi is available at no cost, as well as bed linen, bath towels, and dish towels. The icing on the cake is the 60-sq.m wooden terrace with its own hot tub and a fantastic view of the lake, mountains, and the Hekla Volcano. The house is somewhat isolated, though because of its ideal location in the Southern Region, it is great for winter stays. The Northern Lights are a completely different experience as there are no lights from nearby houses. Our farmhouse is just 400 m away, you can certainly ride out from our farm.

Summary: This was our third time visiting the island and we could not have had a better stay. The house was exactly what we were looking for, and the hosts were fantastic. The communication was excellent and they were kind enough to message us on an amazing display of the northern lights to make sure we didn’t miss it. I cannot wait to make sure my friends book this location on their trips and we will definitely be back!

Summary: From booking, Renate was very responsive and helpful even flexible with our check-in/out times. The house was a perfect getaway and a great location between Reykjavik and Vik. The home was surrounded by beautiful views, the lake, and Icelandic horses!! We plan to visit again in the spring and will definitely book again. Thank you Renate for offering your home!

Summary: Lovely remote location on the side of a lake on an Icelandic horse farm. Property was immaculate and allowed for a very cozy stay during a snowstorm/road closure. Cabin was amazingly sturdy during 60mph winds. Hot tub was great despite the brutal wind and snow. Trees provided a great wind break. Thankfully bought groceries at Knonan in Selfoss before we arrived (and some wine/beer at the duty free on our arrival at KEF). Although remote, we had great connectivity to deal with a crisis at home. Host communicated with us on Christmas morning to warn us about the road conditions. We also saw the host on Boxing Day, and she was very welcoming. Cabin is about 20 minutes from Selfoss "city center" and a 30-minute trip to Midgard Adventure (further east on the Ring Road) in Hvolsvöllur, where we took an amazing all-day tour after we checked out of this property. Overall, a great stay for our family of 5. No Northern Lights this time, but if back in Iceland, we would stay here again.

Summary: Location - we loved being so close to the horse farm. Renate was very kind and welcoming and gave us a tour of the farm. We will be sure to return in the summer to go for a ride as well. The location was also great for the golden circle and the secret lagoon.Cabin - it was very well insulated and cozy, even in December. Everything was very well constructed (doors, windows, latches) and we had everything that we needed for delicious dinners in (we bought groceries from Bonus and Kronan). The beds were comfortable too. Hot pot - this was amazing! It was hot and very cozy. We enjoyed ending our days in the hot pot every night of our stay. Most nights were cloudy but one night, it was clear and we had a great view of the big dipper :)Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Summary: impressive views of lake and mountains and we saw northern lights!

Richard W. Nov 9, 2024 02:32:45 AM

Summary: Our group of four really appreciated our stay at this property. It was just over an hour out of Reykjavik, and gave us a convenient place to head toward the south coast one day and the Golden Circle the next. The views were stunning, the house was well appointed, and the floor heating was remarkably efficient. There were a couple of nitpicks, although they did not really impact our stay. While we did see a snow covered mountain from the deck, did we really see a glacier? The bedrooms are small, and the windows caused us a bit of grief. We also had to go to the end of the driveway for a northern view the one early morning we could see a bit of the Northern Lights, since trees block the northerly view from the house, but again, these are small issues. I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at this property if the location fits with your Iceland touring plans. Just keep going past the horse farm when you first arrive; the owners live there, but the house is further along the road. They were nice about it when Google Maps had me turn there; we probably weren’t the first to do so.

Summary: House was very clean and had everything we could ask for. Location was remote but gorgeous. We had amazing views of th northern lights 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. Was a good midway point for all of the things we wanted to see. Would love to stay again.

Joanne H. Oct 7, 2024 07:04:00 PM

Summary: The property was very clean and just like the photos showed. The location is remote but that was what we were looking for. Renate responded quickly to all of our questions. We loved the hot tub!
