Cabin holiday rentals in Iceland

Two adults and one child vacationing in this valley of paradise not far from Reykjavik! The setup was ideal and we all felt right at home. It was so comfortable, warm and we loved the added bonus of the hot tub!! We had a car rental and did our own touring of the southwest including the golden circle of our own. Highly recommend this lovely cabin!!

Great accommodation located a 20 min drive from Reykjavik. The surrounds were beautiful and very quiet. We were able to see the Northern Lights from the cabin. We had an issue with the hot tub on our first day which the host was able to resolve quickly.

Though both Google & Apple Maps tried to get us to enter the neighborhood the wrong way (Pay attention--there are two entrances, & you want the one with the blue sign a bit to the west.), everything was great once we got that sorted. The space is small but perfect for two people, and the location is amazing and quiet, yet close to nearby villages and places like Gullfoss and Geysir. At the cabin, the only real sounds are of nature--from the birds to the nearby waterfalls--and the hot tub and deck were lovely. Note that there is only a small fridge, with no freezer, and there is no oven, simply an air fryer and outdoor grill. Grocery shop accordingly, as we did. I definitely recommend hiking back to the falls behind the cabin, as well as heading down the road a bit to see Bruarfoss. The blue water of both is absolutely beautiful! Finally, Hjörtur was responsive to questions before and during our trip, and it was a great visit. I would stay here again for sure.

The location and views were breathtaking. Sadly the day we arrived we couldn't see the glacier or surrounding mountains due to cloudcover but when we were leaving, we saw just how beautiful the area was. The hot tub was a nice plus and the host was always responsive and super gracious about giving us an early check-in to accommodate our desire to drive earlier before the big snow and windstorm hit. The location was super close to many sites (crater, cliffs, hot springs) and also a great point to visit the Snaefellsnes Peninsula from. In our case, the winds of 40m/s combined with horizontal snow was too treacherous to make the drive in (and we couldn't see any of the sights due to no visibility) so we hung out in the hot tub and took it easy while a the cabin. There were board games that helped for the downtime!

I’m so grateful that I booked this apartment. Maria was outstanding, very attentive, responded always quickly and she even bake us a delish dessert. Cabin is exactly as described. Bed is good, space is beautiful and I was able to see the auroras from the cabin. Cabin is near the restaurant area of the city and lots of the amazing waterfalls that Iceland has to offer. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderful holiday at Sara's house. The house is warm, cosy and spacious, and the view and surroundings are spectacular. Sara was very communicative and helpful throughout.

Highly recommend this place. You can take a rest after long trip or escape from the city in peace and quiet place! There is everything what you need to spend the best time. The owners are amazing people friendly, nice, and they take good care of this house. This makes this place so unique. We gonna back there again for sure :)

We loved our stay! The cabin is a perfect spot for a few days in the golden circle. Hot tub was a great addition. Frederikke is extremely kind, helpful and responsive to any questions.

Elín’s “house of happiness” is nothing short of a dream come true! My husband and I loved every single second at this incredible secluded cabin outside of Selfoss and already dreaming of our next trip back. Elín is a warm and accommodating host, you won’t find a lovelier and more thoughtful host out there. And don’t get us started on the outdoor shower! It has the perfect temperature and pressure! Do not hesitate to book this stay. You’ll be so happy you did it! Thank you, Elín for your hospitality! We’ll be back!

A lovely cabin in peaceful surroundings — the perfect place to recharge and enjoy a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!

Our group of three enjoyed our stay at Pall’s place. It was as described and met our expectations. He was very pleasant to deal with and the surroundings were remote, very beautiful and peaceful. Google maps sent to the wrong place but thankfully he had his street and house marked. Bird watchers will definitely enjoy his place.

Be sure to stay for a few more days, it is very peaceful and very well equipped.We spent our last night here before leaving Iceland, making our own meals, watching the sunset, the most exciting is the aurora, it's already the end of April, and it's so lucky to see the aurora.The only thing to note here traffic should be suitable for arriving by car only.

We really enjoyed our stay here in this one of a kind, unique accommodation! The cabin had what we needed for our stay and we were able to rest easily. We had clear skies both night and saw amazing northern lights from our window and just outside. Amazing!!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Marteinn’s place. Thank you so much for having us.

So wonderful! Would highly recommend

A beautiful little cabin in a gorgeous area with stunning views. I used this as my home base from which to explore the Golden Circle. The cabin was clean and tidy, the kitchen had all the basics, and there were some lovely touches including chocolate bars, some seltzer, a full carton of milk and cereal. And the heated towel rack was an incredible luxury that I used every day! Sylvia was not there and did not respond to my message telling her what time I would arrive, but her very nice and helpful husband Gylfi greeted me when I arrived and gave me a tour. He also came out to say goodbye when I left and we had a nice chat. I would like to have used the hot tub but it wasn't especially clean. I ended up at the nearby hot pot Secret Lagoon anyway, which was great, so it was not a big loss.

This place is fantastic and idyllic, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. After a long drive from Akureyri to the south, we simply landed in a paradise - that's how the place affected us! Hidden among trees and lots of flowers, beautifully equipped and with a great terrace in front ! We will remember these three nights for a long time! Eidur is very nice and helpful and responded immediately and gave some good tips on what else we can see. We were very satisfied and can only be grateful and recommend it! Really a paradise!

We got to pet the horses and see the northern lights in a cozy cabin all to ourselves.

We had an incredible stay at this cabin! The views were absolutely stunning—like something out of a postcard. The host was super helpful and gave us some great local recommendations, including horseback riding at Laxnes Horse Farm and a visit to Hvammsvík Hot Springs, which was just a 30-minute drive away. We also went snorkeling at the Silfra Fissure, another unforgettable experience not too far from the cabin. The location is very peaceful and secluded, so we’d definitely recommend picking up groceries ahead of time and enjoying meals at the house. The hot tub was a huge highlight—perfect for soaking under the stars! A couple things to note: there isn’t a microwave, which would’ve been a helpful addition, and the hot water had that classic Icelandic sulfur smell, which took some getting used to. Still, this place was an easy 5/5. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Here you get that as it was described. Perfect for 2 people, also possible for 3 adults. Road traffic very low. The neighboring lake is not so easy to walk to. The landlord is very friendly.

What a great find. It’s a fantastic cabin, very private with beautiful surroundings. I’d definitely recommend a 4x4 as the track to the cabin is very rough, having said that, it’s easily accessible with the right vehicle. We loved the remote location. The cabin itself was clean, tidy and well equipped and served us very well. Morgan was very prompt and helpful in communications. We loved it and would definitely stay again.

My family of 5 stayed for 2 nights and we loved the place. They were able to provide a pack-n-play for our 1 yr old and our older two kids had their own room with separate beds which they appreciated. The kitchen offered enough basics along with a grill which allowed us to cook several meals easily while there. My wife and I ended up sleeping on the couch so that the baby could be in one bedroom and not be disturbed, and it was a very comfortable couch. We could have slept in the loft but wanted to be on same floor as the kids. The steps to the loft are very steep and really need to be careful. The surrounding area is so beautiful, and the family had a lot of fun exploring the hills around the home. We also did a day trip out to Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon, which were about 1.5 hour drive away. Highly recommend the place for its privacy, tranquility, and beauty.

Great Airbnb for families or multiple friends. Has all you need and even more. Location was great to explore the region. We definitely recommend!

If you find yourself lucky enough to be on Westman island, this is a great place to stay for a short visit. I would highly recommend if you simply need a clean, comfortable and peaceful place to stay. The space is as described.....make sure you are aware that it is truly a "tiny house". It has everything a person needs for a short visit. I would definitely stay again if I found myself in the area. The accommodations are best suited for three people who know each other as it is a smaller space and privacy is limited.
