Isolated lakeside house, view of glaciers & volcanoes, good for day trips - new!

Herrukot, our holiday home built in 2015, is located in a gorgeous isolated location right on the lakeside. The house contains two separate bedrooms, each with very comfortable beds that are 90x200 cm in size, a bathroom with a floor-level shower, underfloor heating throughout the house, living/dining room with a pull-out sofa bed for two, and a completely equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, a ceramic-top stove (4 hobs), and an oven. With a floor area of 66 sq.m, it offers a relaxing vacation. Wi-Fi is available at no cost, as well as bed linen, bath towels, and dish towels. The icing on the cake is the 60-sq.m wooden terrace with its own hot tub and a fantastic view of the lake, mountains, and the Hekla Volcano. The house is somewhat isolated, though because of its ideal location in the Southern Region, it is great for winter stays. The Northern Lights are a completely different experience as there are no lights from nearby houses. Our farmhouse is just 400 m away, you can certainly ride out from our farm. We're happy to help if you have any questions about your vacation. We have plenty vacation planning tips! We put a major focus on ensuring that your individual wishes are fulfilled, and are happy to help plan your excursions!

We had a wonderful stay at the lakehouse. It is pretty isolated, but the farm is close enough if you need anything. We loved being able to relax and the peace and calm of the location. The hot tub was wonderful and clean; we used it every morning and every night. The beds were also very comfortable. My husband fell in love with the heated floors, pretty sure he wanted to sleep on them instead of the bed. You will need to rent a car to stay here, but it's in a great location to take day trips to waterfalls, volcanoes, and Reykjavík.

We had a great stay here! The owner made everything super easy and self-explanatory. We found it to be exactly what we were hoping it would be - easy, comfortable, and perfect for day trips. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the deck and seeing the horses as we drove by each day.

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely incredible — it was everything we wanted and more! From the moment we arrived, it felt cozy, peaceful, and perfectly secluded. The cabin was spotless and extremely well cared for, which made it even more comfortable.We stayed during a winter storm, and the temperature inside remained warm and cozy the entire time — it was the perfect retreat from the cold. The owners’ farm is only about 400 meters away, so help was nearby if needed, but the cabin still felt wonderfully private.Their communication was top-notch — always friendly, responsive, and helpful. One of our favorite features was the hot tub, fed and heated by natural water. It felt absolutely amazing, especially in the winter weather!And we can’t forget the horses — they were beautiful and so friendly. It was such a special touch being able to see and pet them during our stay.If we could give unlimited stars, we would! Highly, highly recommended. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality!The Youngs (Atlanta, Georgia)

Great Location - super relaxing - everything you need

Stayed here with two kids and two adults - fantastic location, very peaceful and quiet. Located about 5 km off of the main highway 1, it was a great central place to take in some of the Golden Circle sights and also going down to Vik and the Black Sand Beach. Rejkavik was also within reach if we desired, but we had a separate stay in Rejkavik. Would definitely stay here again.

This house was perfect for our needs during our stay. The house was clean and well cared for. Even though it was October, we loved the deck to be able to view the Northern Lights or sit in the hot tub. The collection of windows in the living room area offers a great view of lake and lots of natural light. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Everything was easy to use in the house and the directions left by the host helped with any technical things. The host was also kind to let us see some of their horses before we left. We would absolutely stay here again.

Best stay we’ve have in Iceland

This was our third time visiting the island and we could not have had a better stay. The house was exactly what we were looking for, and the hosts were fantastic. The communication was excellent and they were kind enough to message us on an amazing display of the northern lights to make sure we didn’t miss it. I cannot wait to make sure my friends book this location on their trips and we will definitely be back!
