A great place in the middle of most everything we wanted to do

What's not to like! Loved the view, the sauna the hottub, and the separate guest house that gave our two couples lots of privacy when we wanted it.

Great Location and Cabin for Iceland's Golden Circle

My family and I really enjoyed staying at the cabin as it served as our central location to see all of the main attractions of Iceland's Golden Circle. We never had to travel more than 40min to any location. The cabin also came fully equipped and really made our adventure fun and easy.

A great home base for my family’s trip to Iceland, this property had great proximity to the Golden Circle. We saw a number of sites, did some fantastic hikes, visited the Secret Lagoon, and it was nice to have a home base to come back to each evening. We ate out a good bit, but also made coffee/breakfast at the home each morning and cooked a few other meals at the cabin as well. Everyone slept well, and we enjoyed the property immensely. Great communication with the owners, who provided some fantastic restaurant recommendations. Great experience! One of my siblings already wants to book a return trip to Iceland and plans on staying at Fensalir again!

Our group of 6, recently visited Iceland and stayed at the Fensalir cabin for three days. We had a great time visiting Iceland and staying in Selfoss. The location is a perfect home base for seeing the south coast, golden circle, blue lagoon and Reykjavik. The cabin is spacious with two living spaces (includes a separate cabin), hot tub and sauna. The directions to the cabin are easy to follow. We would highly recommend staying at the Fensalir cabin.

Family Trip

Our family of 7 adults was well accommodated here for our 6 day trip to explore Iceland. We had plenty of room for all and enjoyed our stay. We were able to eat breakfast at the cabin everyday and then spent the rest of the day out exploring different areas.The cabin was the perfect location for our day trips to Reykjavik, Vik, The Secret Lagoon, and the Golden Circle. The small city of Selfoss is close enough to the cabin to get all the essentials like morning coffee, groceries, dinner out and even a little shopping. It was easy to create some great family memories in Iceland.

Wonderful stay in a remote/yet accessible area. We loved the layout and style of the cabin, modern and cozy. We had a couple of questions when we arrived and were challenged getting in touch with the owners, but I’m assuming it was user error as they had been responsive previously. Once we got in touch, everything was addressed immediately. They are building another cabin across the road and it looks gorgeous. Looking forward to staying there if we ever return to Iceland- which exceeded expeditions BTW. Overall, a great value for location, space, style and comfort. Thank you!!

Family Vacation with Parents

My husband and I came to Iceland with my parents for a family vacation. We rented Fensalir cabin for 4 nights and it was the perfect spot for us to have our own space while also spending quality time together. The house was very clean, the views were incredible, and the sauna and hot tub were an added bonus. We saw the northern lights one night when the skies were clear! We all said we would absolutely recommend Fensalir cabin to friends and family who plan to travel to Iceland in the future!

Family Celebration

The cabin was the perfect base to explore the southern part of Iceland. We were a family of 5 adults, the cabin gave us plenty of space. The location is remote, perfect for seeing the Northern Lights, but close to Selfoss and the Golden Circle sights. It was extremely well equipped with the bonus of the hot-tub and sauna. It is even better than the photos.
