About this property

Luxury House with Hot Tub close to Snæfellsnes National Park, Iceland top five

Our house, Bakki, is the perfect base for your Icelandic holiday. Have a memorable day at Snæfellsjökull National Park, visit a natural hot spring like Deildartunguhver, or amazing waterfall like Hraunfossar. Other interesting places to visit are, the active volcano Grábrók, the crater Eldborg, historical viking landmark Reykholt, and taking a walk into the glacier Langjökull. You can stroll through the nearby cozy town of Borgarnes and drop by the cafe’s, museums, shops and restaurants. Take a drive to the capital Reykjavík with all its glory, nightlife and culture. Make a day trip on the Golden Circle and see the exploding Geysir with all its natural power, and drop by the historic Thingvellir National Park, and view close up the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. In the evenings you will always come back home to this modern architecturally designed house in Helluskógur and the first thing you might do is, relax in the hot tub and enjoy the views or the Northern Lights in the peace and quietness after a memorable day.

The house has an open kitchen-living room with a large kitchen island. It is very spacious and ideal for family and friends preparing a good meal together. The kitchen has all necessary tableware and high quality equipment for cooking and baking. The living room has floor to ceiling windows and an amazing view. Even if you are inside it feels like you are still completely connected to nature. In the living room you will find books and magazines to read, films to watch on the large flat screen TV. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable with high quality beds and a beautiful view. The main bathroom is spacious with a long wooden countertop and a large shower room.

The design of the house is outstanding and well thought out. It has floor to ceiling windows, open space, hardwood floor, natural stone tiles, designed lighting and with one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly floor heating systems installed in houses today. The heating system is perfect and we can guarantee you a warm and cozy house in the winter time. The house is designed by one of our best architects, Sigurður Hallgrímsson who designed many of our spectacular modern houses in Iceland.

On the large patio surrounding the house is a nice hot tub that fits up to 7 people, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen with a barbecue grill and comfortable outdoor seating. The patio is perfect for making a good meal and relaxing in the peaceful environment. Beside the house is a grass lawn which is surrounded by a birch forest, ideal for kids to play.

We have been connected to Borgarfjörður since childhood and would like to share good advice and information about the house or the area so don't hesitate to send us an email request about anything you would like to know and we will do our best to help you.

Amazing First Iceland Trip
We are a group of five friends who planned this trip almost two years ago. We had to pick off season due to our schedules. The weather/wind in Iceland was the worst it has been in 10 years, and we briefly lost power. Our host brought us a generator, coffee, pastries, and kept us updated every step. They checked in on us often and responded immediately to any questions or concerns. They have a very detailed book on property with instructions for everything. The house is amazing and stayed warm even when we didn't have power. It's beautiful, perfectly cozy, and well equipped for all that you could need. The town of Borganes was nearby and we loved being away from the big crowds. I loved Iceland so much, everyone was friendly and the environment is second to none. I can't wait to come back, and I would absolutely choose this host again!

Comfortable remote stay in Iceland!
My family stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our holiday Iceland trip from the states. The host had great communication and was very prepared with check in and home instructions. The place was very clean and we felt very comfortable during our stay. We only wished we stayed a little longer to be able to see all the sights in the area. Would definitely recommend renting this home for an experience outside of the city.

Beautiful Peaceful Home
We were very comfortable in this beautiful home outside of Borgarnes. Away from the city lights, we were able to relax and enjoy the northern lights from the comfort of the hot tub! The home is in a great location for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and is well appointed with everything we needed! The hosts are very responsive and communicated promptly when I had a question. Would come back and stay in this lovely home!

We stayed at this property for 4 nights and absolutely loved it. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed, even plastic plates/cups for kids, children's books and the toys for the kids were a really nice touch. The one time I contacted the owners during our stay the response was almost immediate. I would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
We went to Iceland to try to catch the Northern Lights and were blessed to have been able to see them from this beautiful home! We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, spacious design, and comfortable furniture! We didn't use the hot tub as we expected to but hit up the (sort of) nearby Krauma hot springs. We really appreciated our AWD with studded tires as the road to the home was very icy on many days. Everything was as expected and advertised. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Lovely Property
We loved the house! From the design to the amenities and the hosts with high attention to detail everything was great. We were a group of 6 women and used the house as a hub to go out exploring each day. The hot tub was a treat at the end of our daily adventures. Also, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Note that one shower is outside, which I may have missed When reserving. The cooktop was a bit challenging for us so my only suggestion would be to have very detailed instructions like there are for the other household appliances. That being said, we would return!

Outstanding home
Wonderful home in a great location to see many sights in Iceland. The house itself is top notch. Clean, modern, all the amenities and more of home. It was perfect for the family. Also I want to point out the heated floors and….the outdoor shower. Trust me. It’s a must. The water is perfect, the air is divine. You really won’t want for anything staying there. The owners make sure you are ready for your stay in Iceland - going well above by providing valuable information and suggestions. Can’t say enough great things. And if you’re a runner- you’ll thank Iceland everyday for the paths around the place.

Amazing home in West Iceland
I recently stayed here with a group of 5 adults and one toddler, and we all loved our time in this house. The location feels remote, but is convenient to Borgarnes and is an excellent home base for exploring West Iceland. The house is both modern and very comfortable.

A gorgeous house - very modern and clean. It was perfect for our family of four. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and we took nice walks around the house and to the river (which was partly frozen in early April). It was a good set-off point for a drive to Snæfellsnes National Park and close to the town of Borgarnes. The owners were helpful and communicative. We would definitely recommend this house to another family.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the northern lights. Hosts are responsive and helpful. We definitely recommend Bakki House!

About the host

Hosted by Heiðrún Hafliðadóttir

Host profile image
We have been building up our Vacation rental business in the last few years and now we own many amazing modern Vacation rentals located in the West and South of Iceland, for our guests to enjoy.

Our goal is to offer our guests the perfect private holiday home to relax, to enjoy the surrounding nature and views and to have a good base to explore our beautiful country.

All of our houses have a hot tub and everything a cozy and comfortable home needs and are available all year round. We welcome you whether you want to visit during winter to view the Northern Lights or during summer when the nights are bright.

Our houses are different in size, style and location so everyone should be able to find the perfect house for their group to stay at. So whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends, one of our rentals could be the right one for you.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to offer to our guests a nice holiday home where we could relax and recharge the batteries and we think that's precisely what we succeeded. Also the short distance to the town Borgarnes and Stykkishólmur, where you can find all necessities, and to the Capital Reykjavík, is a very big advantage.

What makes this property unique

Peacefulness - You can sit outside or walk around the house on the large patio and enjoy the nature and the amazing mountain view in the peaceful surroundings.

High standard and modern – All the equipment in the house is high standard and you should find everything you need and more. The open space and the large windows give you the feeling that you are out in the nature even when you are inside.

Location - The location of the house is ideal for exploring the west side of Iceland. There are short driving distances to many beautiful places in the nature such as waterfalls and craters. Museums and historical places are also nearby. There is only a 15 minutes drive to the nearest town, Borgarnes, where you can find for example a swimming pool, golf course, shops, bakery, restaurants, library and health care.
