Detailed description :
The cottage is located by the lake Úlfljótsvatn which is next to Thingvellir national park. Also close to other famous landmarks such as Gullfoss and Geysir and more. The cottage is 200 m2 and three stories high.
On the main floor there is a fully-equipped kitchen with a fridge/freezer, microwave, toast, oven/stove, with a dining area next to the kitchen seating up to 12. On the same floor is the main living room with amazing views over the lake. Here you can cuddle up in the winter and watch the Northern Lights dance in the sky or in the summer you can enjoy our long summer nights with a constant sunset during the night.
Up in the sleeping loft there is one room with a queen size bed and a sofabed that can be made up as two single beds - make sure to let us know if that is needed.
On the lower floor you will find 3 bedrooms, a tv room, a laundry room and straight access to our hot and cold tub. Our lounge furniture is kept inside over the winter but can be enjoyed in the Spring, Summmer and Fall. There is a large Weber bbq that can be used all year long.
The house is built very high up on a hill with a magnificent view of the lake and surrounding mountains, so I recommend 4x4 car specially during winter but if not there is also possibility to park in the driveway and walk up to the house, instead you get these stunning panoramic mountain views it is also amazing to see the northern lights / aurora from there. The view is truly amazing!!
We co operate with a company named Live Aurora network they set up on the house a specialized northern lights camera and they also produced app to work with the camera to use in the smart phone so now our guests don't have to wait outside for the northern lights to show up. Instead you can do anything else to enjoy your vacation at its best and get the app in your phone and the mobile beeps or rings when the northern lights show up. Simple basic and very accurate so you will for sure not miss them when they show up. It is of course possible to get the app in your phone now or anytime before your stay if you would like to get notice and watch the amazing northern lights from your mobile when they show up to see what a treat waits for you next winter. 🙂 To get the app its best to search on the internet for " Live Aurora Network" from there you can see the procedure and also a link on our house. Or just send me a message and I will gladly help.
