Family-friendly holiday rentals in Grímsnes- og Grafningshreppur

So often, air bnbs have failed to live up my hopes but this place does not disappoint. Perfectly located for us- just off a main route but still quiet and peaceful. It had everything we needed and we especially appreciated how warm and cosy it was after long days of exploring. We really couldn’t have asked for more!

The host was very polite and responsive. The location was amazing. We found everything we expected and had a great time in the cottage.

We absolutely loved staying here! It was easy to get to in winter with 4WD and was a lovely location to watch the northern lights (there is not much light pollution). We visited in February and watched the lights from the hot tub multiple nights in a row. It is also the perfect location to visit the three 3 major attractions on the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss) as well as other Golden Circle destinations. They are all within a 10-30 minute drive. The house was clean, warm, and inviting. The welcome book and “leaving Uthlið” book was very detailed and well thought-out. Everything in the house was in its place as the notebook and instructions stated. Palmi and Vala were very responsive and had great recommendations. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Efficient accommodation

I booked Emma and Oskars place for clients of mine, they were very happy, communication was great, I can well recommend.

Such beautiful views, child friendly area and amazing pool to watch the northern lights in. Our hosts were lovely and helpful

Such a comfortable stay well located near Selfoss and the park. Secluded but easy to access. The best appointed kitchen I’ve seen in an Airbnb. Made our stay very easy

This accommodation was perfect for our stay, very cosy and comfortable. We had everything we needed, the barbecue and hot tub were a big bonus. Our host was responsive and very helpful. Thank you for having us.

Our stay was perfect. The cabin was great and exactly as shown in the pictures. The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances for a small kitchen. Eggert was quick to respond and check-in was easy and smooth. Great overall experience and would definitely recommend this place.

Elín’s “house of happiness” is nothing short of a dream come true! My husband and I loved every single second at this incredible secluded cabin outside of Selfoss and already dreaming of our next trip back. Elín is a warm and accommodating host, you won’t find a lovelier and more thoughtful host out there. And don’t get us started on the outdoor shower! It has the perfect temperature and pressure! Do not hesitate to book this stay. You’ll be so happy you did it! Thank you, Elín for your hospitality! We’ll be back!

A lovely cabin in peaceful surroundings — the perfect place to recharge and enjoy a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!

This is by far one of the best Airbnb’s I have stayed in. The host had everything that you could possibly need plus some things that I didn’t expect (international plugs). She was fast to answer questions and friendly.

Loved our stay in this beautiful home. It was toasty warm with lovely outlooks and space yo relax while still feeling part of the beautiful scenery. The house was well equipped. The host was very responsive when we needed some help to work the hot tub.

We had the most wonderful stay at Marteinn’s place. Thank you so much for having us.

A beautiful little cabin in a gorgeous area with stunning views. I used this as my home base from which to explore the Golden Circle. The cabin was clean and tidy, the kitchen had all the basics, and there were some lovely touches including chocolate bars, some seltzer, a full carton of milk and cereal. And the heated towel rack was an incredible luxury that I used every day! Sylvia was not there and did not respond to my message telling her what time I would arrive, but her very nice and helpful husband Gylfi greeted me when I arrived and gave me a tour. He also came out to say goodbye when I left and we had a nice chat. I would like to have used the hot tub but it wasn't especially clean. I ended up at the nearby hot pot Secret Lagoon anyway, which was great, so it was not a big loss.

The house was just perfect for us. It is nestled in quiet scenic area that is a short drive to the main sites. The house was lovely and warm. The sulphur smell when showering was a shock initially, but something we got used to very quickly. It even snowed while we were there. A special treat for the kids. If you stay here, don't forget to visit the Fontana Spa down the road. Check in was incredibly easy and all of the instructions were simple to follow. You will have to drive down the road to dispose of your rubbish at the communal waste facility. The house very much reminded me of Centre Parcs.

Great place with lovely views

Georg was very quick to respond to questions. He gave very clear, helpful directions as it isn’t easy to find. House was clean, view from the large living room window was lovely.

This house was perfect. The hostesses met us when we arrived, gave us instructions on things they wanted us to make sure we knew (for safety and such due to the temperatures), and spent around 2 hours giving us a tour and history of the house. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed and they were so thoughtful with all of their recommendations for activities with our children. We 100% recommend this house to others and we will be coming back in the future!
