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.

A peaceful setting with tons of privacy, great views too. Host was responsive to any question we had. Would absolutely stay here again and HIGHLY recommend!

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 Holiday 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!

This was the perfect place for our family to end our two weeks in Iceland! The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable and very well-equipped. It's so peaceful, and the views are spectacular. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, and the view from the hot tub is amazing. Definitely would come back, and highly recommend it!

Better than the pictures!

We had a wonderful stay here. We got a glimpse of the northern lights from the hot tub. We stay at the end of April so the tail end of being able to see them. Great location to town and to the western region. The house was clean, the heated floor and heated drying racks were great! We’d definitely stay here again.

Great house in the country

My family of five stayed in this comfortable home outside of Borgarnes. It was a great place to spend three nights for our exploration of western Iceland. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The home is modern and spacious. If you want a place to stay where you feel like you are away from it all yet close enough to a grocery store, stay here!!!

Awesome place to stay

Great and easy booking process, great communications from the owners. This is in a fabulous area for exploring and with a great bakery in nearby Borganes. The house was an amazing eco house with great views and just one of those places you feel really relaxed in. The house felt bigger than the images suggested on the website and our little one had a great time running round. I cannot in anyway fault our stay here and would definitely stay again without hesitation.

Perfect home away from home

For the five of us (= 3 generations) it was the perfect holiday home: great location, modern and clean with everything you could wish for. Watching northern lights from the hot tub on the terrace was certainly the icing on the cake. We hope to be back some day and can highly recommend the house for people who love the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. A big thank you to our hosts who made us feel welcome from the moment of booking and accompanied us all the way with lots of information and updates.

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.
