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.

Beautiful Peaceful Home
We were very comfortable in this beautiful home outside of Borgarnes. Away from the city lights, we were able to relax and enjoy the northern lights from the comfort of the hot tub! The home is in a great location for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and is well appointed with everything we needed! The hosts are very responsive and communicated promptly when I had a question. Would come back and stay in this lovely 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!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
We went to Iceland to try to catch the Northern Lights and were blessed to have been able to see them from this beautiful home! We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, spacious design, and comfortable furniture! We didn't use the hot tub as we expected to but hit up the (sort of) nearby Krauma hot springs. We really appreciated our AWD with studded tires as the road to the home was very icy on many days. Everything was as expected and advertised. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

The house is timelessly modern, clean and very well equipped. It is in a remote location with little light-pollution, ideally to watch northern lights - if there are. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We'd love to come back if we have the opportunity!

Lovely Property
We loved the house! From the design to the amenities and the hosts with high attention to detail everything was great. We were a group of 6 women and used the house as a hub to go out exploring each day. The hot tub was a treat at the end of our daily adventures. Also, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Note that one shower is outside, which I may have missed When reserving. The cooktop was a bit challenging for us so my only suggestion would be to have very detailed instructions like there are for the other household appliances. That being said, we would return!

Outstanding home
Wonderful home in a great location to see many sights in Iceland. The house itself is top notch. Clean, modern, all the amenities and more of home. It was perfect for the family. Also I want to point out the heated floors and….the outdoor shower. Trust me. It’s a must. The water is perfect, the air is divine. You really won’t want for anything staying there. The owners make sure you are ready for your stay in Iceland - going well above by providing valuable information and suggestions. Can’t say enough great things. And if you’re a runner- you’ll thank Iceland everyday for the paths around the place.

Amazing home in West Iceland
I recently stayed here with a group of 5 adults and one toddler, and we all loved our time in this house. The location feels remote, but is convenient to Borgarnes and is an excellent home base for exploring West Iceland. The house is both modern and very comfortable. Our host was responsive and friendly over messaging. I would certainly stay here again!

We did a day trip to snaefells peninsula. Got back late and cooked a nice dinner. Only feedback is watch your head on the exhaust fan above the stove.

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.

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.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Iceland! One of things that made this vacation enjoyable was this warm and welcoming home we stayed in. The beds were so comfortable, we had some of the best vacation sleep ever! The home is not too far from the town of Borgarnes, where you can find a delicious bakery, grocery stores, and good restaurants. The home has great viewing of the northern lights. The hosts were welcoming and responded quickly to messages that were sent. Everything was well thought out in the home. There was plenty of linens, adapters (in case you forget to bring your own), games for entertainment, cookware, dining ware. The hot tub was set at the perfect temperature. I recommend getting in at night and stargazing. What can I say, we had a wonderful stay, and we cannot wait to come back to Iceland!!!

This is a super house! It is fantastic.
This house is great - it's really good: Would highly recommend. - stylish, well furnished, warm, comfortable - fantastic power shower - loved the hot tub Great location - just over an hour NW of Reyjavik - halfway between Reyjavik and Snaefellsness. Easy day trip range to all of the key sights and attractions.. - off the main road out in the quiet countryside so you'll get some proper dark skies for stargazing and (if you're lucky) the Northern Lights (we did!). - 15/20 minutes to the nearest town - Borganes - for shopping. The hosts/owners have prepared comprehensive instructions for the house and are quick to answer any questions. They obviously take great pride in providing a top quality vacation rental. Any downsides? If you're not looking for somewhere relaxing and quiet and you want buzzing nightlife then this is probably not the right house, but other than that - no negative points I can think of.
