“Hrund's place was extremely charming and very well equipped for the perfect family getaway in Iceland. The property was great, relaxing and the inground trampoline was a plus for the kids!! Hrund was very helpful and gave us tons of good tips on what to do around the area. We had an amazing time!!! Thanks Hrund for everything. ”

About our home
Our summerhouse is located on our 140 hectare land, so nothing disturbes your vaction except the birds and our horses are your only neighbour. The house is on one floor with outside jacuzzi and outdoor shower, ideal for watching the midnight sun during the summer or the northen lights during the winter. We have three kids, so the house welcomes small guests, who might be interested in the trampolin, the small outside play house or simply exploring the neighborhood where you will have no cars to worry about. The house is surrounded by untouched icelandic nature; birch, bluberries and beautiful cliffs. 10 minutes drive to small local town (Borgarnes) where you can find all services, restaurants and the local swimmingpool. Stunning view of the surrounding mountains and glaciers. The house is located in the heart of Vestland with interesting views and attractions within short driving distance; Hamar, which is one of Iceland´s best golf course is within 5 minutes drive and Snæfellsnes glacier, Húsafell, Into-the Glacier Langjökull and Krauma spa are all a 1/2 day tour distance

Hrund's reviews
As a host (4)“Great base for sightseeing although we didn't end up doing any as I got sick. We ended up just hanging around the house for most of the time, watching the array of views as the weather continually changed our scenery and although our trip was different to that planned it means we can recommend Hrunds house for pure relaxation and escapism too. We would change nothing - we also recommend the OK Diner in town.”
“We stayed at Hrund's beautiful vacation home for 7 nights in November 2016. It was a spectacular stay. The location is incredible. We have been traveling for the last 7 months and this was hands down our favourite stay. Hrund's home is magical. It has been built with love and comfort in mind. The property has the most incredible mountain views. The kids loved the built in trampoline and my husband and I loved the hot tub where we spent a few evenings seeking out the elusive northern lights. Hrund and her family were perfect hosts. I highly recommend this property and would return in a heartbeat.”
“This place is already beautiful in the photos, but managed to be even better than expected. We loved it so much we simply didn't want to do anything else but stay around the house and its breathtaking scenery. Mountains from every angle, including one of the icons of Iceland (Snæfellsjökull volcano). Not even mentioning the magical trampoline and the five gorgeous horses which would come to greet you straight away. The host is simply fantastic and showed us how to berry picking - yes! We spend one full afternoon berry picking and eating around the house. This was a magical staying. Thanks so much Hrund and family! ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Borgarfjörður and surroundings is perhaps the most beautful are of Iceland with many activities. Hiking, horse riding, interesting museums, salmon rivers, probably Iceland´s best golf is within 3 minutes drive, unspoilt nature and hot springs combined with good restaurants and culture. There are endless opportunities to arrange for interesting day tours from this central location.
