A perfect base for our visit

A perfect base camp for our visit to the Golden circle. We were able to see the Aurora Borealis 2 out of 3 nights from the hot tub. The book said hot tub would take 1-2 hours to prepare, in our experience, since it is winter and colder, it took a lot longer (4-5 hours)

Cozy, comfortable, and safe

My boyfriend and I travelled from the US for our first time ever to Iceland. The cabin was super comfortable and the location was perfect for enjoying a lot of the golden circle. The projector movie screen was our favorite after long days of hiking and driving. Would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Iceland! The mini mart with the restaurant down the street was our favorite place so far to have dinner. We felt very safe in the location and enjoyed being away from the city. We did not get to enjoy the hot tub because we found ourselves in the natural hot springs!

Perfect base for Iceland adventures!

We had the best 5 nights at Versalir, perfect location for adventuring around the southern part of the island - essentially an hour drive to everything you could want. The cabin is SO warm and welcoming and hosts friendly and helpful. The pictures on the listing are a little outdated - the shower room has been modernised for example, but if anything it is better than shown. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing Must Stay At Cabin

Our stay here was amazing. They had everything you would need and it felt like a home away from home. We spent many of the cool nights in the hot tub. It is far enough away from the road to enjoy the peace. But also not too far from many of the views and excursions around to make it perfect.

We had a great time at this house - it was convenient to Reykjavic, Golden Circle, Inside the Volcano, Reykjadalur hike, Selfoss and more. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals and we loved the hot tub after long days hiking and exploring the area.

Icelandic Paradise!

We really enjoyed our stay at Versalir Cabin! Excellent location for day trips to many areas and in a very beautiful setting. We actually did some really cool hikes within 15-20 minutes from Versalir. Accommodations were good and comfortable, many nice amenities. We enjoyed grilling dinners with the Mountain View from the deck and having space for our family of four to enjoy.

Location and place is great! Very nice setup. Hot tub wasn’t expected with how to use. Returning key at end of stay is not very accommodating to guests especially if you’re leaving in dark with no lights in area. Overall great place and location and owners were responsive.
