The location of the cabin cannot be beaten, in the golden circle area. 5 mins from Kerid crater and 20 from Thingvellir. If you are looking for a home better than home experience this is the cabin for you. We could not believe our luck at finding the perfect base for our dream trip to Iceland. Cedar Log cabin has everything you need, and even the things you don't realise you do. Mr Gunnarsson has really thought about this. He even provides the kitchen roll, cooking spices, Dvd's books, games etc. He personally greeted us and gave us lots of very useful verbal and printed information. What a guy, nothing was too much trouble.
Perfectly located and not overlooked for watching the northern lights from the hot tub, or just from the decking if you prefer.
Even though we'd seen the pictures, we couldn't believe this was our cabin for our stay. Absolutely fabulous.
Beautiful area, cabin with great views and 10 mins from Selfoss.
If you are looking for a fantastic holiday home, stop wasting time and look no further

Management Response
24 Feb 2013
Obviously people arrive at all times of the day and night. If the owner is at the Northern Light Inn hotel he does his best to meet people personally at the hotel. This is not always possible but the owner can be contacted at all times .
