Best regards Annie & Lotte, the Netherlands

Take care, the four Germans, Lena, Katharina, Jürgen & Daniela
»Dear owner, we loved our stay in your home for a week. It was always nice to come back in a very clean and beautiful house after many long days of sightseeing. Nothing was missing in your house and we would definitely come back to your wonderful place. We wish you all the best and never forget what great country you live in.«

Kind regards from France, the N family
»Dear owners, the house is so cool, very personable to live in, we were 5 and it was really great to stay here for 2 nights. We particularly liked your lighting system! It's a very good place to stay and very strategic: we drove to Thorsmörk, to the Seljavellir pool (which is so nice) and to the waterfall, which it is possible to walk behind. The black and white cat is so fun and so cute. We played with him a lot. «
