Holiday rentals with lake access in Hvalfjörður

We feel so fortunate to have spent 2 glorious nights at Halldor’s house with our 2 college-aged sons. The house design is exquisite: a perfect blend of simplicity, style, and sophistication but lacking in pretension. The house is designed with windows and glass doors looking out over the property. In every direction there are rolling fields and river views. We loved dunking in the river and racing up to the sauna. We also loved the outdoor shower. We lit a fire each night and cooked meals in the wonderful kitchen. The only downside to the house is that you never want to leave it! But we did enjoy going into town. The Settlement museum offered a very good intro to Iceland history. This was a perfect place for us to stay on our way to the West Fjords. I truly hope we come back and stay much longer next time. Thank you, Halldor, for creating such a beautiful home.

I stay in a magical place in front of the lake with a breathtaking view. The house was very clean, very quiet, comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Super location, as well as communication with hosts. Follow the instructions of the host carefully to get to the place, not very easy to reach with Google maps. Highly recommended! We're looking forward to coming back. Thank you for everything to Emma and Oskar!

A lovely, peaceful place right on the Golden Circle tucked between a serene lake and a few friendly horses. The setting was absolutely beautiful and felt like a true escape.

This place is great! Very cozy and close to the golden circle and Selfoss, which has great restaurants! We especially enjoyed the cozy vibe of the interior furniture and kitchen. We also really enjoyed the hot tub and cold plunge combo. Magnús was really responsive when we had questions, and even got on the phone to walk us through how to fill the hot tub and turn off the lights so we could better view the aurora!

Great stay in beautiful environment.

An absolutely stunning lake side villa close to the famous Golden Circle. We used it as our base for a week to explore Iceland with friends. We were two families, with three children in total. The villa is simply stunning, so beautiful and the perfect home away from home. We all loved returning back in the evenings and enjoying the sauna and hot tub. Then the grown ups sat up late to take in the never ending sun outside, snuggled with blankets and fire pit for company. We lost track how many photos we all took of the lake. We also enjoyed our coffee in the morning over looking the lake and running the loop around the lake. Communication was excellent and Telma couldn't have been more responsive or helpful. We 100% recommend and will be back!

We had a great stay in Rakel’s home - thank you to all their help to make our first time in Iceland so wonderful!

Absolutely stunning views and an unbeatable location. The host was incredibly welcoming, easy to communicate with, and their pets made the stay even more delightful. Our whole family had a wonderfully relaxing time—we’d love to return!

Everything was fine with the accommodation. Milad answers questions quickly. Parking is great. Fully equipped kitchen.

We've stayed here twice now and again it's absolutely amazing, the scenery, the apartment, the host all amazing and nothing to complain about. one of the best places I've ever stayed at.

Perfect place by the sea. Peaceful clean and inviting. Private parking in the back was great. Excellent host.

Great apartment with lots of space for kids to play, we enjoyed the stay

The apartment was on the ground floor. All the furniture is very functional both in the kitchen (the set was complete) and in the bathroom (presence of washing machine and dryer). You can get to the centre of Reykjavik in 15-20 minutes. But above all, the effective and ever-present support of Sabine. I believe that this is the real competitive advantage that can provide security to the presence and the housing solution. Congratulations, Sabine!

We spent a week in the apartment rented by Dagna and it was a great time. The apartment is perfectly located on a hill with panoramic views of the city up to the ocean. There was a northern light outside the window one evening. Rather, it's for people with a car. The apartment is comfortable, you can feel at home. There are all the amenities you need. Dagny is a very communicative host. They respond quickly to messages and are helpful.

Fantastic stay, and the apartment was even nicer than in the pictures. Easy to get to from the airport, easy to get to Reykjavik, easy to get around to other beautiful places. Super nice host who always responded quickly. ☺️ Nothing to complain about, so this is recommended!

Lovely flat in a lovely neighborhood, not fancy but very comfortable - exactly what I was expecting. Krisztina was quick to communicate when we asked questions, I'd highly recommend her place if you're visiting Reykjavik!

Not enough can be said about how truly special the home was for me. My first time to Iceland, celebrating my 50th birthday, I wanted some place memorable. The home was perfect! The hosts were very helpful and even proactive in notifying us there was a small storm rolling through ahead of our stay and provided us links to check the weather and road conditions. The house is very private and chic. Yet it's very close to the national park which we spent hours at seeing incredible natural wonders. Just 20 minutes away. The house is also just a few minutes from a major town with all the essentials you will need and not far from a Viking restaurant I wanted to go to which was awesome. If I'm ever lucky enough to be back in Iceland I'd love to stay here. If there's anything I'd recommend is maybe another couple of oscillating fans. There was one but with three of us we needed another as it was a little toasty at night. Opening a window was fine though and worked for us. 5 stars (& more)!! ⭐️

Our stay was perfect. The cabin was great and exactly as shown in the pictures. The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances for a small kitchen. Eggert was quick to respond and check-in was easy and smooth. Great overall experience and would definitely recommend this place.

Gudny's place was amazing and the photos didn't do it justice. My family of 5 were very comfortable. We loved the updated bathroom and use of the hot tub.

My family and I were looking for a place to stay that was close to the ferry to the Westman Islands. Being that this home was not in the capital of Reykjavik we were not sure how up-to-date the amenities would be, but the home exceeded all our expectations! It is so quirky but so welcoming from the minute you walk in. Very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, fluffy towels and robes, you can't ask for more! We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather so were able to take advantage of comfortable outdoor seating with spectacular views. I would highly recommend!

We had a magical time at Sabrina’s cabin! Sabrina was incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed as well as close to many sights. We saw the northern lights from the cabin our first night! Unforgettable :) Book it!!!

Maria's cabin is out of the way on a small lake. The scenery is beautiful. The cabin had all the necessities and comfortable beds. One bedroom was on the small side, but the main bedroom was large. The only issue was a difference in how America and Icelandic people make their number 1's. I thought the Wi-Fi code had a 7 in it but it was a 1. After I figured that out, the Wi-Fi worked great. :-)

Incredibly beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The pictures and description don't do it justice. The unit is clean and stylish in an understated way, and was very comfortable. Hosts were proactive, communicative, and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better stay.

This cottage has a wonderful view of the lake. It was very comfortable for four adults and a toddler. We were at peace listening to nature and watching the lake. The host was very communicative and helpful. The location is very close to the Golden Circle's must-see locations. The closest town was an 8-minute drive and had great local restaurants. I highly recommend this stay.
