This was our favorite accommodation over the 9days we spent in Iceland. So peaceful! We all loved the hot tub on the hillside. Stunning! My daughters loved the reading nook which they used as their bed. The record player was a nice touch. Had fun listening to music while relaxing in the evening. Memorable stay.
Our family absolutely loved the Hekla Hilltop cabin. The hot tub, the record player, the "cave", and the location! Short drive to the Geyser and Gullfoss. The owners were great in all communications and made our trip very easy. This is especially helpfull in your first night in a new country. Highly recommneded!!!!!!!
Wir fanden alles prima, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Hot Tub war ein absolutes Highlight.
Eine Sache war ein wenig nervig: Es waren leider extrem viele Mücken im Haus...
The home is as advertised and is extremely nice and comfortable. It works as a great base camp to explore the northern portion of the Golden Circle yet is still remote and out in the country.

Me and my husband Hallur are 40 years old and we are parents of 3 children. We live in a town outside of Reykjavík. I own an interior design shop in Reykjavík called Esja Dekor, and my husband is a journalist and a videographer for Iceland´s oldest and biggest newspaper Morgunblaðið, and most popular web
We absolutely love the Icelandic nature and countryside, and love to be able to escape to our cabin with the great view of mountains, glaciers and volcanos. The area around the cabin offers a lot of activities for us and for the kids.
Why they chose this property
This property has it all. It´s perfectly placed in the middle of the golden circle, with an amazing mountain view. It is cozy and has big windows for enjoying the view. We knew right away that we could make this house look very good and that we could create an experience for travellers. We have always loved mountain view from our properties, and we think it is an important factor.
