Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Borgarbyggð

We booked the Grund Guesthouse as the first stop upon arrival in Iceland for an 8 day road-trip with a group of 8 friends. We booked the accomodation for two nights and we were very positively surprised; being with a group of 8, we had the whole house to ourselves! What we really enjoyed was the additional huge 'summer room' in the back of the building, which was perfect for breakfast and dinner with our group! Highly recommendable!

A spacious house with a great feel-good atmosphere. Unfortunately the hot tub didn't work and the kitchen was not so clean.

A wonderful place to relax. Stunning house and stunning views. The walk to the sheep pens along the river was well worthwhile. Then a sauna and plunge in the river. We are excited about the rest of our tour of Iceland but a little sad to have left Halldor’s place.

We stayed at this place for two nights ( 3 adults and 1 kid). It is very well equipped, you'll find everything you need for grilling or regular cooking. Views are breathtaking, and if you're lucky with the weather you can just chill outside and enjoy the fresh air. Hosts were very friendly and quickly answered all our questions. Instructions are perfect. One thing to note - if you use google maps, don't put the address there, use the coordinates. Address is correct, but google maps directs you to wrong location ( though, not far from correct place ).

This was a great place to stay as a base camp for exploring western Iceland. Very clean and welcoming. The view is great, the hot tub is perfect after a long day walking around, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen and grill had everything we needed in order to cook meals. Jon and Kristin were great and made us feel right at home. They even had chocolate bars for us when we got to the house! A couple minor things to know if you're considering this house. 1. There are 3 bedrooms, but the third bedroom has a sofa bed, not a regular bed. This room is also the TV room, so if you were planning on using the TV a lot, you would need to put the bed back in to a sofa and vice versa each day. This wasn't a big deal for us since we weren't planning to use the TV. 2. One of the reasons I really liked this house is that it had a fireplace. This is true, but it's meant for burning DuraFlame logs, not actual firewood. I didn't realize that "real" fires aren't really a thing in Iceland.

This is the second time I have stayed with Ragnar, and have felt right at home each time. The best place to stay in the Vesturlands.

Proactive, friendly and helpful hosts who answered all of our questions and gave us a heads up about events to attend on the site. The cabin and location is breathtaking, myself and my friends spent new years in the cabin's hotub watching the aurora while fireworks went off around us (what more can you say!). The nearby hotel may also put on public events for you to see (in our case it was a bonfire). Highly recommend if you're looking for a beautiful quiet place to relax with friends/ family. Well priced as well!

Very very nice place. 30 minutes from Borganes, Arkanes and Hammsvik hot springs. It was amazing to watch aurora and clear sky from the jacuzzi and then warm up at the fire place inside. Thor responded quickly to any question and everything went smooth. Highly recommended and will definitely return back.
