About Maja Siska
Originally german, I have lived here in Iceland since 2000 with my Icelandic husband, icelandic dog, chickens, sheep and horses! We love our home and we enjoy sharing our knowledge and experiences of Iceland and our area with you. Originally I came here because of horse riding and today I feel at least as icelandic as anything else! I am looking forward to welcoming you in the country I chose to be my home! We have 2 more cottages for rent under nr. 535515.
Maja Siska purchased this House in 2013
Why Maja Siska chose Rangárþing ytra
These very cosy summer cottages are a beautiful country hide away with Icelandic flair! Also a great location in the South of Iceland; within easy reach of great day trips and excursions, in summer even into the highlands. And very practical: 80km from Reykjavik and with the little traffic it is always an experience to drive over the scenic pass Hellisheidi to go to town:) The cottages are about 4 km from our farm and we gladly assist you during your stay if you wish.
What makes this House unique
Calm and cosy atmosphere, beautify landscape, great location for day trips in the South.

Great House and Owner
Maja was great to speak to and we learned a lot about the country and what to do.
We would definitely come back.
Amazing
Perfect location for watching for Aurora. Great place to see southern Iceland. Cozy! More local feel.
Beautiful, quiet and secluded Icelandic cabin
Loved our stay at Sel. A little off the beaten path and so worth it.. did some great day trips to the golden circle and back to make some delicious dinners and enjoy the evening (didn't see the northern lights this time but a most memorable night sky). Would highly recommend this cozy homeaway from home.
Iceland Perfection on All Levels.
Let me first rate our host Maja.
Maja is everything we want in a VRBO host. Prior to travel she was great with info and answering random questions. Upon arrival she came to say hello and offer any assistance we might need. During our trip she responded to emails within 10 minutes every time. Her advice was perfect and we enjoyed all restaurants and sites she shared.
Second, Sel cottage. This is the perfect tiny house. I can’t imagine better for two adults. It is very well appointed and scrupulously clean. 25 minutes from Selfoss in a rural area where we saw stars and the northern lights. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen fully functional. Tiny bath but worked fine. If it had a hot tub and king bed we could stay forever!
Thank you Maja. We loved Iceland and Sel and hope to return again.
Great location short drive to all the attractions. The cabin was very clean and comfortable.
The cabin was very comfortable and clean. Easy access to all the attractions. Im looking forward to staying here again. Excellent experience!
Just do it!!!
You won't regret booking this cabin! We had a wonderful stay at Sel. It was comfortable and cozy. Maja was wonderful and even warned us about a winter storm that was approaching. Do not hesitate to book this cute cabin!

5. There is a new ferry harbour (65km away) and you can be in the WESTMAN ISLANDS within 30 min ferry ride. Detailed information in the house!
6. A long day but a vey scenic drive along the south coast: to Jökulsarlon, where large glacial ice floats in the lagoon , drifting out to sea.
In Summer you can take a day trip with the highland bus to the hot springs at Landmannalaugar (dep. Hella) or to Thorsmörk.
