Family vacation- multigenerational
Overall, our three generations of family enjoyed our stay at this property. There was plenty of room for the eight of us to spread out or be together, as desired. Everyone raved about the comfortable beds and bedding. We found the kitchen to be very well stocked. It was a pleasure to cook meals for a big crowd. The large dining table was perfect for family dinners and games. The common seating area was ideal. There were several beautiful books about Iceland to enjoy while relaxing on the lovely oversized couch. The house is located in a picturesque agricultural area with small farms and we enjoyed visiting with the horses and buying fresh tomatoes, herbs, and lettuce from a farm stand. While not a far drive to some of the sites on the Golden Circle, it was a bit of a drive to Selfoss to buy groceries and even more so to/from Reykjavík. While we were surprised to find that the hot tub was more of a warm soaking bath, our only regret was that we didn’t leave more time to relax around the house and local area. We all had a lot of fun during after dinner games of table tennis/ping-pong!

Iceland adventure
When we booked our trip to Iceland, the original plan was to change hotels every couple of nights but that seemed tedious. This VRBO is located right in the center of the south of Iceland and is the perfect home base to explore the Golden Circle, Highlands, Vik and so much more. The weather was not very cooperative so we did not use the outdoor hot tub but I peeked in and it looked invitingly warm. Just not under the rain. The house was warm and inviting. The kitchen fully furnished. Operating the cook top took all four of us but we did eventually figure it out. We were fortunate because we were two couples and there are five rooms. We used the extra rooms for our luggage. There is a lack of space in most of the rooms to unpack so be aware of this if you are planning to use all the rooms. The other minor drawback was that the laundry was in the separate garage. As it was raining this meant going back and forth under the rain. From the pictures it was not clear that the laundry and ping-pong were in a separate garage. Maybe a house plan could be added to the listing. Overall we enjoyed the house very much and would consider going back if we ever go back to Iceland.

Perfect birthday surprise
I booked this as a surprise for my husbands 50th. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Accommodation is spotless and has everything you need and more. Can sit at night and watch the northern lights. Hot tub so relaxing and garage converted games room kept everyone entertained. Hosts so helpful recommending places to visit, restaurants and where to get birthday cake. Short drive to all attractions. Mika a must for a meal. Had the best time with family from ages 2 to 73.

Our Laugaras stay
6 adults stayed in the house 3 nights. Very comfortable. Very clean. Loved the open space, uncluttered vibe. Nice kitchen. We used the grill one night and ate out the other two. Used the hot tub and ping-pong. Great location to Golden Circle sights. Geysir, Gulfoss, Crater, Bruarfoss, Reykjadalur hot springs -- all within 45 minutes. We ate at two great restaurants nearby -- Mika and Friðheimar (make reservations!). Suggestions -- a welcome book with instructions for house (If it was there we didn't find it) and some trimming of bushes around house. A good place to relax. Very private on end of quiet road.

Amazing home - clean, spacious and great location!
This was the perfect house for our two families. The location was great for day trips to the Golden Circle, Reykjavik and Vik. We went on an amazing horseback riding tour at Nupshestar which is only 10 minutes away. We even did longer day trips to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The house was modern, spotless, spacious and comfortable. It was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The house was actually nicer and larger than the pictures showed! The kitchen and living room were perfect for our large group of nine with a huge kitchen table and lots of seating. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were large and modern as well. The owners were helpful and available for any questions although we had no problems with the house at all. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others visiting Iceland!

A wonderful spot!
This was the ideal spot for our 2-family stay in Iceland! The property was located in the heart of the Golden Circle, making it ideal for seeing all the highlights, and wasn’t too long a drive down to southern Iceland or Reykjavik either. The property was clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. In short, it helped make our Iceland adventure an AWESOME experience!

Great place for a family reunion
This place has everything you need for a group of 10. We explored the south side of Iceland and it was nice to know we had a place to call home. There is plenty of room for everyone, a great common area for games and dinners. The outdoor space is good to relax on the terrass or in the hot tub. THe kids had fun out on the soccer pitch and in the garage playing pingpong and fussball. We would recommend this place. You do need a rental car to get here and to explore all sites in Iceland.

First class home in great location.
Had a great week staying in this house with family to celebrate my birthday. House is perfectly situated for the Golden circle and touring the South of Iceland. Take the time to travel to Vik and the black beach, amazing! House has everything you need including a big hit with the younger ones, a bean to cup coffee machine! It was well used. A big thank you to Elen & Borkur for their help and advice in planning this trip. Shopping is good in Selfoss, easy to get to and easy to navigate, about 20 mins away. The young ones enjoyed the pizza from Café Mika! about 10 mins away. The one experience we all enjoyed was sitting in the amazing hot tub with snow falling down on our heads!! I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely home for a holiday in the South of Iceland, enjoy!!
