Xav was a great host, always available for anything we needed. The house is impeccable and located in an amazing area. Close enough to many of the wonderful sights in the Golden Circle. The beds were on the smaller side, yet very comfy. We had an incredible time and enjoyed our stay very much. Would definitely recommend staying there.

See on AirbnbAbsolutely amazing place in the Golden Circle. The Little Blue House was one of the best accommodations we had in Iceland. Spacious, comfortable, cosy with a superb hot tub. We loved the astonishing view all around. The house was well prepared, we found it quickly and the arrival process was very smooth. Xavier always replied very quickly and we had all the info we needed. Would love to come back one day in the future.
Great cottage, amazing view, cosy, hot tub was great, excellent host! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at the tiny blue dream cabin. The view and location are just breathtaking and absolutely stunning. I am sure to come back some day soon.
Beautiful house, felt like home — cosy and private with gorgeous views, within driving distance of the Golden Circle sights and other beautiful landscapes. Xav was really helpful and friendly, quick to respond to any questions, and even accommodated a last-minute earlier check-in time when our plans were complicated by flight delays and weather. The hot tub was easy to use and an amazing experience in such a wintery environment. We'd love to go back!
Xavier's cottage is perfectly situated in the Golden Circle. It enjoys an exceptional, unobstructed view straight onto the mountains and volcanoes. In very fine weather, you can even see the glaciers. It's very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank Xavier for being so responsive. We highly recommend this place.
Beautiful house in such a lovely location. The amenities were perfect. The hot tub was so good. We had a very nice time.
A lovely, cosy little cottage right in the middle of the Golden Circle. The host is super helpful and replies very quickly. Highly recommended!
It was so comfortable and homey. The view was beautiful and the hot tub was a nice addition. Very responsive host and great location. Would stay there again!
A cosy place with a wonderfully scenic location and a fantastic view.
Xavier was very responsive, and the house was in a great location. Best place to see the Northern Lights and easy to drive around to Golden Circle locations.
We really enjoyed the time in the Little Blue House. It is very calm and cosy. The hot tub is easy to use and a highlight after the daily hike! We were lucky and could enjoy the Northern Lights dancing over the house.
The perfect home for our first trip to Iceland! There is nothing like sitting in the hot tub watching the Northern Lights. Xavier is very responsive and the house is close to ALL the sights.
Great location near many of the Golden Circle attractions. Beautiful countryside. Well worth it if you'd like to get off the beaten path for a few days.
I had an amazing time at Xavier's cabin. It's in such a picturesque rural area, yet close enough to towns like Selfoss so you can still explore there if you'd like! Also the hot tub is a major plus.
Lovely, private location and property in the middle of the Golden Circle. Xavier was very quick to respond to questions while we were staying. Great host.
Great place to stay, cosy and comfortable (especially the beds). Perfect location for a more leisurely exploration of the Golden Circle. Great host, very responsive to messages and super helpful. We had a fabulous stay and especially enjoyed the peaceful setting and the hot tub.
What a great place! Highly recommend. Hot tub was perfect, views beautiful, so peaceful (we never saw a neighbour once!) and the kitchen was brilliantly equipped with salt, pepper, oil, plenty of bin bags and toilet roll — everything we could ever need!
Cosy little house in the middle of the Golden Circle with a fantastic view onto the nearby mountain. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and were able to observe the Northern Lights at the beginning of September! All major attractions of the Golden Circle are reachable within an hour's drive — the perfect base to explore Iceland's beautiful nature.
Our stay here was amazing! It was the perfect little house for my parents and me to stay in while we visited Iceland. The location was perfect and super peaceful.
Great place to stay with great scenery. Responsive host. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely time at Xavier's place. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub at the end of our travel days. The place is great for spotting Northern Lights and a beautiful starry sky. A great location for exploring the Golden Circle and beyond. We would gladly book again.
The house was perfect — calm, warm and comfy. The view was beautiful and we saw amazing auroras!
Everything was wonderful! Thank you so much for everything — for the kindness, the easy communication, the advice, and the cottage which was exactly as we'd hoped. We loved it. A fantastic spot for watching the Northern Lights — we went at the right time of year and had beautiful nights with auroras that we watched from the little blue house. Calm and soothing, close to several sights yet still feeling secluded. We were very happy in the cottage, which is very well equipped and warm. The directions from the host were clear and we felt completely at ease. A holiday that did us a world of good. We also tried the hot tub and it was simply wonderful. Thank you, sincerely, for everything.
Great stay, everything as described! Amazing communication and perfect view! 10/10
This is a great little cabin with stunning views and great access to local points of interest — you can easily get to Geysir or Gullfoss. Would recommend a stay here if you want something remote and peaceful.
We now miss the Blue House after five wonderful days. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, amazing view. The hot tub was such a delight after a day of exploring breathtaking Iceland. Communication with Xavier was very pleasant. Highly recommended!
The accommodation was very cosy — we felt right at home straight away. The house is practically furnished. We'd go back in a heartbeat and can wholeheartedly recommend the house, its location and Xavier.
If you are looking for peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings, this is the place for you. Very easy to access the attractions that make up the Golden Circle from here. The hot tub was a huge bonus and we loved feeling like we were out in nature. Super cosy interior which made relaxing after a day of adventuring super easy! I give this place 10/10 — would definitely stay here again!
It was a breathtaking experience and stay. We were well informed and welcomed with the right instructions. The cabin was warm and cosy. It was like no other. Thank you so much!
A brilliant place for exploring the Golden Circle. Very peaceful and beautiful. Outdoor hot tub for four. It's been a fantastic stay.
We adored Xavier's little corner of Iceland! For anyone looking for a peaceful spot to recharge, watch the Northern Lights and gaze at the stars together, this is the perfect place.
We had a great time in the “Little Blue House”. It is nice and cosy and the landscape around is beautiful and peaceful. Absolutely recommended!
The location is beautiful and secluded, and the house was perfect for our stay!
Ideal and picturesque cabin in a great location to visit all of the attractions. Very cosy, warm and charming!
Our stay was great — the cabin had such beautiful surroundings. Xavier was extremely responsive and helpful! Overall a great experience.
Xavier's place was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! We enjoyed our stay. Xavier was very responsive and was a significant help when we initially couldn't find the place on our own.
We had a wonderful stay, and beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
We had a wonderful stay at Xavier's. The house is very cosy, peacefully situated, and has everything you need.
We felt very much at home and recommend the place.
An ideal base for exploring the Golden Circle. Beautiful panoramic views of the mountains. Very peacefully situated. We felt completely at home.
A perfect stay! The house is exactly as described. The host is always available and friendly. The cottage is a great base for visiting the south-western part of the island. Recommended!
We stayed for six nights and absolutely loved it! The location is brilliant — you can explore the Golden Circle on your own without long drives. Everything you need is there, and the quiet and openness you experience from the house is one of a kind. The hot tub was a highlight, really wonderful for warming up in the evenings. We'd come back any time!
We really enjoyed our stay in the hut and can only recommend it to other travellers who want to live in and enjoy the scenic nature of Iceland. Xavier as a host was very helpful and fast to respond.
A well-equipped little cottage with lovely views. We had a wonderful stay.
We were a group of four people and stayed for a few days here to explore the Golden Circle. The place was clean, comfy and very relaxing. We enjoyed the view from the hot tub and benefited from the great location between many sightseeing spots. Thank you for letting us stay!
This is a fab wee cabin. Great location and has a hot tub to enjoy the views. Really easy check-in and great communication.
We had a wonderful visit at the cabin. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for our few days in Iceland. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and cook a few simple meals.
Three weeks of family holiday — the four of us in Xavier's cabin with the hot tub — was a dream. Beautiful views, well equipped, all clearly explained. We hardly had any questions, and when we did, Xavier was easy to reach. The local highlights and Highland hikes are all reachable within 45 minutes. The Westman Islands (up to the ferry) and Reykjavík are about 1.5 hours away. A 4x4 is highly recommended, not least for the gravel track up to the cabin.
We had a great time in Xavier's little cottage with our son. The cabin is brilliantly located in the Golden Circle, and of course the hot tub is the cherry on top. We'd come back any time!
