Description

Golden Circle Mountain Cottage

Surrounded by open countryside and striking mountain views, this charming 90 square metre cottage offers a warm and peaceful setting in Iceland’s celebrated Golden Circle. Its quiet position creates a strong sense of connection with the landscape, while the surrounding peaks provide an ever changing natural backdrop throughout the day.

Designed for up to four people, the home features two comfortable bedrooms and a welcoming living area centred around a cosy fireplace. A newly fitted kitchen provides a practical and attractive space for preparing meals, while Wi Fi and television add everyday convenience. The interiors are simple, comfortable, and well suited to relaxed evenings after exploring the region’s dramatic scenery.

Outside, a barbecue area makes it possible to enjoy informal meals in the fresh Icelandic air while taking in the mountain views. The peaceful setting enhances the home’s inviting character and makes it especially appealing for couples, friends, or a small family seeking a slower pace surrounded by nature.

The cottage is approximately a ten minute drive from the Geysir geothermal area, one of the Golden Circle’s best known landmarks. Haukadalur Forest is also nearby, with walking routes ranging from an easy three kilometre trail to longer hikes of up to twenty kilometres. Horse riding is available approximately five kilometres away, while a scenic golf course lies around two kilometres from the property. This combination of comfort, scenery, and access to remarkable natural attractions makes the cottage an appealing base for discovering South Iceland at a comfortable and unhurried pace.
