Hvolsvollur - Fljotshlid

Mariubakki cottage is perfectly located, 5 min drive east of Hvolsvollur and 100 km away for Reykjavik. This is the place to stay for few days to explore the south, including Golden Circle route, South shore, the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skogarfoss, and a Day tour to the Jokulsarlon (the glacier lagoon). In summer, when high land roads have opened, Landmannalaugar, Thorsmork and more beautiful highland places can be visited for a day tour. The house has 3 spacious bedrooms, 1 master bedroom with large double bed and 2 bedrooms with twin beds. 2 bathrooms, 1 with shower and one with a bath tub. Washing machine is in one of the bathroom. View is exceptional-the living room faces the the Eyjafjallajokull glacier and volcano, that erupted in 2010. Dining table for two people is in the fully equipted kitchen and also seating for 6 people in the dining room - and full kitchen cupboards of nice and new kitchen ware, including wine glasses. The whole house - no personal thing from owner are in the space - they lock all their things in a store room. This house is being rented out for the first time, as the owner, my aunt lives in Germany. I spend a lot of time at the farm on the other side of the road. The land used to be the home of my grandparents - they were traditional farmers with cows, pigs and horses - and for me it is the most beautiful place in Iceland ! There is always someone available for the guests at Mariubakki should they need anything. The neighborhood has endless opportunity for day excursion. With in two hours drive is Keflavik International airport, Reykjavik the capital, Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle, Hekla mountain Landmannalaugar and Thorsmork ( summer roads only), Vik village, Reynisfjara black lava sand beach, Eyjafjallajokull glacier and volcano, that erupted in 2010 is like a painting just in front of the livingroom. Harbour for the 30 min sailtour to Westman iceland - perfect for puffins in June.... A bit further, 3-4 hours is Kirkjubæjarklaustur, Skaftafell National Park and Glacier Lagoon to name the highlights of the pearls of nature near by. For the house, we recommend a rental car. The road from Hvolsvollur when you drive short distance off ringroad 1, is paved and smooth to drive
