Birkihlíð is a large holiday house in North Iceland, that can house up to six people. It is a former farmhouse and has a beautiful view of the surrounding farm fields and stunning mountains. Only a few minutes drive from Waterfall of the Gods, Goðafoss. An excellent choice for those who want to do daily excursions in this area of Iceland.

The house has three bedrooms, all on the same level. Bathroom: with bathtub/shower. The rather large kitchen has a variety of equipment, a microwave and a dishwasher. In the living room, you will find a TV, DVD and a radio/CD-Player.

Outside, there is a big yard and older parts of the former farm, not in use anymore. You will have a good idea of how the Icelandic farms look and used to look like. You are allowed to fish in the river. In front of the house, there is a private parking space.
