Gorgeous place and great location

Loved the house and cabin too! Great base camp for area explorations. Our only difficulty was the stove and microwave as we dont have these types in Canada but owners were so patient with our questions and Rob was very interesting to talk to! Would stay here again for sure.

Iceland Family Vacation

It was our family’s first trip to Iceland and we loved it! The accommodations were great, with plenty of space for us to gather for meals and relaxing together. The houses were very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The host is extremely accessible, responding within minutes when we accidentally locked ourselves out. We highly recommend this property, and would definitely stay here again!

Amazing homes

The two houses are beautiful and very well stocked. It was wonderful, having two separate homes, which allowed us to spread out some. there is so much information in the house in order to explore the country. we truly loved our stay and have every intention of going back.

Great combo houses for big family

We rented both houses Bakki and Holt for our extended family. It was perfect. They are connected by a quick path through the woods. Great location outside of town but close enough for easy access to grocery stores and liquor store. We used this as a base to explore Snæfellsnes peninsula. Farther out on the peninsula quickly becomes very empty and hard to restock.

Great Friends trip!

Beautiful homes; we would definitely return! 10 of us enjoyed our stay at these two lovely homes. Both houses were clean, spacious, and well stocked. The windows in the main house were especially wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and dishes for our large group to have home cooked meals at the large table. We had trouble getting the lock box open (likely frozen shut) and the key to the second cottage was tricky / sticky and needed some extra finesse to get in/out. Communication with the host was great and we appreciate the easy check in/out procedures (other than the lock box/key). We really enjoyed staying further from the city and we are so happy with our stay! It was a trip to remember! Thank you!

A wonderful holiday in a fabulous place

We're a family of 13 ranging from 85yrs to 5 mths. visiting in October/November. We were well catered for in every way. The main house is very modern and airy and very warm, the nearby secondary house, connected by a hidden path, is cosy and comfortable although the mezzanine level bedroom is very low and up a steep ladder, older kids would love it. Able to all eat together in the main house. And the hot tubs were well used ! Iceland is fabulous, amazing scenery wherever you go. We only managed the Pingvellir and Snæfellsjökull national parks and Reykavik. My husband also went diving which was amazing. All in all everybody loved it whatever the age.

great visit

Two very comfortable houses within a quick walk from each other. The location well away from town and within easy day trips from Snaefellsnes peninsula and golden circle worked great for us. Great aurora on 2 nights. Hosts were very responsive to questions and provided great info about the whole region.

Home Away from Home

This property is gorgeous. We wanted to move in and never leave. The main guest house is beautiful and the guest house was also a perfect addition for our needs, as a group of ten family members who had never been to Iceland before. The hosts communicated with me, as much and as often as I had questions - right from the time of booking. The location is remote and very private, which we really loved. However, if you stay here for a week like we did and expect to try to see as much of Iceland as possible, you are going to do a lot of driving every day. We loved the small town of Borgarnes, and the convenience to spending a day exploring the national park and peninsula. It is over an hour to Reykjavik, and most of the other attractions are a full day trip away from the house. That being said, it was great property for a group of ten to return to at the end of the day, as there was plenty of room to spread out and the kids especially loved the hot tubs. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for your warm hospitality!

Perfect for Large Families

When you need a place that sleeps (14) comfortably it's usually a big challenge. Boy did we luck out when this property was available for our chosen dates. Quality bedding & Cleanliness are a must and we weren't disappointed when we arrived. Highlights are: 1. Privacy Galore 2. Multiple Hot Tubs 3. Espresso Machine 4. Modern Laundry Room 5. Shower pressure was perfect 6. Bamboo Floors in Main house 7. Multiple outdoor Grills 8. Groceries nearby 9. Awesome Views 10. Attentive Owners, answers in minutes, no hours or days! Total "Do-Over"!!!

Beautiful house!

Lovely house and great location. Very clean and had a great view. 4 adults and 5 kids for comfortably. Only small downside was that there was only 1 bathroom (which was also the laundry room) for several people. Not a big deal, though, and we made it work!

Awesome, the perfect place for bigger groups to discover the west and south-western part

It was amazing. We spent 10 days with our families in both houses. At the peak we were 14 adults and one baby. Then it was really full in the houses but some day we were just 7 adults and one baby. Then it was really comfortable. But even during the week with 15 persons it was really okay. We had a great time on the huge terrace enjoying the evening sun. Some of us also spent some time in the outdoor hot tubs what they really liked. We often cooked for the whole group and everyone found a place to have breakfast and dinner in the main house. So mainly we spent time together in the main house, the guest house we just used for sleeping. It was perfect for our group. The light that flows through the house the whole day is so beautiful. When you enter the house, you will fall in love with it. When we had any questions, Heidrun always answered almost immediately. So Heidrun and Robert are great hosts. They prepared a baby crib and a high chair for our daughter. andThe equipment (coffee machine, dish washer, washing machine, dryer etc.) is great. And the location of the houses in Helluskogur is a dream. You hear the birds singing at night. Sun never really went down during our time at the end of May. And also for our day trips the location was more than perfect. When you are planning your trip, the brochure Heidrun and Robert wrote, will help you a lot. There is really good advice there. Thank you for great time in your houses. We really enjoyed it.

Paradise

Tranquility! The house was warm all the time, comfy beds and------ lots of snow. Spacious, marvellous large windows so full of light .Northern lights? Well a faint curtain of palest green light as activity was low. Made use of the hot tub. A separate toilet would be an improvement when there are 7 in the house but our only criticism Massive towels Wonderful stay

Perfect for our 14 family members!

The 2 houses allowed our family of 14 to be together yet sleep comfortably. Cooking for the group was easy in the well-stocked kitchen (and the coffee maker was awesome and used incessantly!). Heidi was so accommodating for the baby providing a crib, highchair and toys! The homes were everything we expected and the hot tubs were a wonderful end to our adventurous days. It was a perfect location for, us to see the golden circle or Snaefellsness National Park. Groceries, gas and restaurants were 10 minutes away and we loved the secluded, quiet feeling of the houses. We would absolutely stay here again! It was perfect for our large family. Lisa

Perfect house for larger group

We rented the house and guest house property in early June for an extended weekend. We re a group of 14 and it was a perfect fit. The surrounding area is beautiful and perfect for just taking a short hike. Great river is a short walk away. It is a short drive 10-15 minutes to the nearby town of Borgones to pick up groceries. House was in perfect working order (Clean, modern, updated) and easy to get to if using your GPS.

Wonderful

We had a fabulous 4 nights renting both properties as a three generation family celebrating a special birthday. The lovely long table in the main house allowed us all to eat together every evening. The houses are fully equipped, even down to toys for the little ones and, as our stay coincided with Easter, a bowl full of chocolate eggs. Snow on our arrival made it magical and the hot tubs were appreciated after a hard day's sightseeing, especially when the Northern Lights made an appearance. We would love to return, perhaps trying one of your other properties. Thanks .....

Beautiful property and very well equipped.

This was a perfect place to stay for our 2 families of 5. Our 2 groups were all adults and the younger 20somethings all stayed in the cozy cabin but joined us in the main house for meals and socialising. There was plenty of room and we thoroughly enjoyed cooking, hot tub and socialising there. The path between the main house and cabin was extremely slippy. There are puzzles and games and a DVD player with a small selection of films. All in all the properties and location exceeded all our expectations and we would definitely recommend for a short or long stay. The owners were extremely helpful and responsive both before our stay and during. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable holiday. The Bole’s, Harlow’s and Taylor’s from near London, UK.

Amazing location! Wonderful home! Excellent hosts!

Space allowed in these reviews is too limited to say all the great things about this property. We had the most wonderful time, and are already planning a return trip. Helluskógur 10 is the perfect place for a family or group to stay in Iceland. It is in a quiet location, remote enough to be dark in winter. The surrounding area is extremely beautiful day and night. In late November we saw the Northern Lights, the Milky Way, and meteors every night from the living room window or the hot tub. It is close enough to the town of Borgarnes that there is no problem running out for groceries or other essentials. It is within an hour’s drive of glaciers and mountains, and there is spectacular scenery everywhere. Reykjavík is a beautiful 90-minute drive away, and it was very convenient for us to visit the city for shopping several times during our stay. The main house is modern and well-equipped, and very comfortable to stay in for up to 7 people. The smaller house is perfect to accommodate additional guests, or for a couple to have some privacy away from the main group. The walk from the smaller house to the main house is short and very easy. The coffee machine is so convenient. It makes a cup on demand, and everyone enjoyed having coffee immediately available. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to fix breakfast every morning, plus three large family meals over the course of our stay. The hot tubs were very clean and provided a warm and relaxing location to view the stars and Northern Lights. The washer and dryer worked very well and were quite convenient to have. The bedrooms were warm, and the beds were so comfortable that we seemed to sleep longer than intended almost every night. The owners, Heidi and Robert, are very friendly, flexible, and accommodating. The houses were spotless when we arrived. We had a question or two during the stay, and they responded very quickly via email. We were sad to leave, but look forward to returning soon!

Elegant and comfortable house, far from the tourist crowd

The main house is a lovely modern space, circled with glass and affording great views. Modern appliances and a bunch of lighting options make the place luxurious. The hot tub under the stars is a terrific feature. The house location is a bit off the road, so recommended if you're looking for solitude. The walk to the Landa River is terrific. The house in the rear is a bit more rustic, but very clean and comfortable. It doesn't live up to the splendor of the main house, but also has great views.

Beautiful home, perfect location

8 of us stayed for a week and we were all delighted with the houses: both are lovely and well-equipped. We loved the hot tubs and used them every day! The location is perfect, being just a hour from Reykjavik and the amazing Snaefellsness peninsula (a must-see), not to mention convenient to Borgarnes. We went horse riding (only a few miles away) and loved the tour-guide, Hawk the Beard, Heidi recommended to us. Speaking of Heidi, I've been renting homes online for 10 years and she was the most organized and responsive owner I've ever dealt with. Really amazing. In short, if you're looking for a place on the west-coast of Iceland, you can't go wrong with this one!

Beautiful, relaxing retreat

Our family of 8 adults recently spent two nights at this beautiful property. After several days driving, hiking and exploring in southern Iceland and the Golden Circle area this was just what we needed to recharge. We rented both the main house and the guest house but the whole family was drawn to the open kitchen/living room in the main house. Preparing meals was a pleasure in the well equipped kitchen and even those who chose instead to soak in the hot tub were not too far away from the action and conversation. The blackout curtains in the bedrooms were a nice touch, but I couldn't resist peeking out on our last morning to watch the sunrise over the beautiful landscape. The property was also conveniently located for a day trip to the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Beginning with my initial inquiry last fall, Heidi was incredibly responsive, with nearly instantaneous replies. She provided thorough information on the house (including visual instructions for all the appliances) as well as info on recreation, shopping and cultural attractions. The only thing that would have improved our experience would have been more time to explore it all!

Amazing house, perfectly off the beaten path.

We loved the area and had a magical drive to the house arriving around 2am - Iceland time. It felt like we were the only people in the country. After a couple hours of sleep we walked down the road to admire the beautiful Langa River - it's saphire blue color a striking contrast to the purple lupine dotting the banks of the river. We especially liked how we could all be together in a house-enjoying our time togther.. no tourists anywhere in sight...yet only a scenic drive away from the most spectacular sights I have ever encountered. We continued to get off the beaten path and took smaller roads through the mountains to Thinglevir, Geysir, Gulfoss, dinner in Reykjavik and back home to Borgarnes. A long, but perfect day! Another trip to Snaefellness netted equally special memories. Hit the road early and you can beat some of the busses out of Reykjavik!! We managed to arruve at a waterfall and hiked to the top before anyone else arrived. By 9 you are following the tour busses but it is manageable. After days of driving, Borgarnes offered just the right amount of history, museums, sculptures, churches and coffee shops to balance out a day hopping between the comforts of our home base and sightseeing,. I would absolutely recommend this rental. If you rent both spots the path between the houses is magical, where you keep hoping a fairy will present itself at any moment...of note - pass the road to turn for the main house and turn at the next dirt road to drop off luggage (or have you kids drag it down previously mentioned path.) Heidi was helpful and easy to communicate with. 5 stars!
