One home for the Golden Circle and South Coast
Give everyone a real bed, make breakfast before the road, dry wet gear, and come back to the same warm house each evening. Raven House sleeps five across three bedrooms, with two living areas and the practical comforts a multi-day family trip needs.
A 1930s Icelandic home, reimagined for modern stays.
The original house was built in Reykjavík in 1933 and later relocated to Stokkseyri. Today it blends that history with a calm Nordic interior, abundant natural light and the comforts you actually want after a day outside.
Upstairs, the main living level is bright and social. Downstairs, a second living area gives families room to spread out. The home includes underfloor geothermal heating, Wi‑Fi, a smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen and in-home laundry.
Room for five, without crowding everyone into one space.
Queen bedroom
Upstairs · queen bed · room-darkening shades · soft natural light
Twin bedroom
Downstairs · two twin beds · ideal for children or friends
Single bedroom
Downstairs · super twin / small double · quiet, simple retreat
Everything you need after a long Iceland day.
No surprises when you arrive.
You'll want a car.
Public transportation is limited outside Iceland's larger towns, so Skálavík is best suited to self-drive travelers.
The village is quiet.
This is not a nightlife destination. The appeal is the coast, the slower pace and easy access to South Iceland.
The historic church and cemetery are across the road.
They are part of the village setting and are visible from the property. We disclose this clearly so guests can decide if the location is right for them.
Icelandic weather can change quickly.
Please review the cancellation terms before confirming your stay, and consider travel insurance that covers weather, road closures, flight disruption, and other trip interruptions.
A smaller village with a surprisingly useful location.
Visit South Iceland describes Stokkseyri as a coastal village known for its seashore, ocean waves, birdlife, culture, outdoor pool and kayak experiences. The wider Árborg area links Stokkseyri with Selfoss and Eyrarbakki, giving guests access to restaurants, cafés, museums, swimming pools and services without giving up the quieter coastal setting.
The local shop beside the house is convenient for everyday essentials and a quick stop close to home.
Build day trips around Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss and Kerið.
The playground beside the house gives children an easy place to play close to home.
Use the house as a stable base instead of packing and changing accommodation every night.
Why families choose it.
Before you book.
How many people does the house sleep?
Up to five guests across three bedrooms: one queen room, one twin room with two beds, and one smaller single/super-twin room.
Is Stokkseyri a good base for the Golden Circle?
Yes for self-drive travelers who prefer returning to one home each night. The broader Golden Circle area includes Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss and Kerið, and the house is positioned south of Selfoss for easy access to the region.
Do I need a rental car?
Yes. A car is strongly recommended because public transportation is limited outside Iceland's larger towns.
Is the house heated?
Yes. The home uses underfloor geothermal heating, a very Icelandic comfort after cold or wet days outside.
Is the house suitable for children?
It can work very well for families. The home includes a twin bedroom, travel crib, children's books and toys, plus nearby village amenities and outdoor space.
Come back to the same warm house every night.
