Cabin holiday rentals in Skorradalshreppur

Such a fabulous cabin in a stunning location. We enjoyed our stay immensely and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The hot tub was a bonus. We used it several times during our four nights stay. The cabin was spotlessly clean had every amenity to make us more than comfortable throughout our stay, the hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful. Such a wonderful place, we really didn’t want to leave. Make sure you stock up on groceries when you pass a supermarket (as the nearest one open during our stay was a 25 minute drive) and you won’t want for a thing. We forgot to purchase some sugar for our hot drinks, so Matthias, one of the hosts, called round within a couple of hours with a bag of sugar cubes for us. Amazing service! The horses in the adjoining field were a delight to watch and kept my daughter entertained for hours. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

We had a lovely time staying here! GORGEOUS location and so peaceful. Felt right at home here, it was truly a beautiful stay.

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!

Excellent little cabin! It’s really nice to find a well appointed place in Iceland. Perfectly situated across the fjord from Hvammsvik. I’ve been traveling to Iceland for over 20 years, and a lot of places are just so-so. Not this one. Stocked fridge, espresso machine, lots of nice touches. Left me wanting for nothing. Selfishly, I should probably tell you all that it’s a terrible place and keep this one as my little secret, but that wouldn’t be fair to the host, who was most gracious. Excellent place, well done, and I will return.

We had a great stay at this location. It is about 30 min from Reykjavik which was not a problem for us at all. It is located in a super quiet area literally right next to a lake. We are a family of 4, so we used all three bedrooms which as great for us. It is not a large cabin, but we spent so little time at the cabin that it did not bother us at all. We used the Hot tub in the back yard every day and enjoyed the view over the lake and mountains. It is close to a number of hiking trails and waterfalls, and it was exactly what we had hoped for. The host is AMAZING, by far the most responsive host we have ever had, and offered super good information for trips, shopping etc. We ended our trip by watching the Northern Lights right from our back yard patio. I would recommend this to anyone looking for nature, hikes and amazing views.

We rented Sara’s place because of the beautiful setting and because we wanted true peace and relaxation and a place to come home each day. We got that and more. It was convenient to Reykjavík. But it also afforded us adventures in several of the surrounding regions – including the majestic Snaefellsnes. Honestly, though we might have never left and been happy still: the view was spectacular and ever-changing. And it was so very quiet. Smartly designed, it met all of our needs perfectly. We cooked delicious meals. Several hot soaks. And slept so comfortably. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Had a good time and enjoyed the northern lights from the hottub.

Tumi was extremely helpful the entire experience, offering more than what was even offered on the listing. We seriously appreciate all the effort that was made to make our last day in Iceland as easy and stress free as possible. If I had to say one thing, it is that the location of this rental is a bit confusing to get to. Offering slightly better instructions would be extremely helpful, but overall was a perfect distance from the airport and offered everything needed for an affordable stay - plus a hot tub!

Very attractive and comfortable cabin in a beautiful area which feels entirely private despite being only an hour from Reykjavik. Great base for hiking or sightseeing. We had five days here and felt we only scratched the surface of what the area has to offer. Cabin is very well and thoughtfully equipped. Matthias was a great host and offered fantastic recommendations of things to do and see. No hesitation at all in recommending.

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!!

From the charming fireplace to the well-appointed kitchen, this cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay. ;)

This is a lovely, cosy away from it all cottage. The drive along the whale fjord to get there is just stunning, one night we stopped the car to enjoy the northern lights. There are numerous lakes and waterfalls nearby too. The cottage is warm, cute & friendly, calming interior-the fire place adds to the feeling of relaxation, the two bedrooms are very comfortable. The couch/ fire/ view combination is fabulous. The host supplied plenty of linen, towels and other basics, very much appreciated considering how expensive Iceland is to visit.

We had a great time at the cabin! Actually, one of the highlights was our host Ylfa, who was always very helpful, provided a lot of very detailed information up front and reacted very quickly to all remaining questions we had - the communication was really a pleasure to us and on a level I have not experienced on Airbnb before. About the cabin: Our kids (3 and 6 years old) very much liked what they referred to as "the play cave", which is the upstairs sleeping loft. The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary things needed, far exceeding what would be minimal kitchen setup. Another highlight to us was the hot tub, which we used almost every day (despite wind and a bit of rain outside). The open view towards the west is very suitable to search for Northern Lights in the dark or just watch the stars. We mainly used the cabin as our homebase to different day tours around in western Iceland. In total, we really had a great time!

Very cosy cabin. Loved everything about it.

We stayed in Iceland for the last 3 nights. I also saw the aurora the last night. The host greeted me kindly.

The Mirror House is an absolute gem. Nestled in a serene, picturesque location, it offers an unparalleled sense of peace and tranquility. The architecture beautifully blends with the stunning natural surroundings, creating a perfect harmony of design and nature. The host truly goes above and beyond keeping the house in pristine condition, and providing thoughtful touches throughout. They are incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring everything runs smoothly during your stay. Whether you're seeking solitude or want to immerse yourself in Iceland's breathtaking landscapes, this place offers an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-managed retreat in one of the world’s most stunning settings.

The cabin we stayed in at Guðbjörg’s farm was EXACTLY what we were looking for. It is not far from Borgarnes where there are stores and excellent restaurants, but is secluded in a beautiful valley. The skies were dark and we were lucky enough to see great Northern Lights. It was the perfect size for our family of 4 to rest and relax, and our kids loved the loft area. We will have not hesitation in recommending this place for others!

Birgir's cabin is very snug & warm -- festive with bright red lights -- everything in its nook -- and an amazing perch to see across the valley & short drive to the fjord. Our trip was at the end of December and most days/nights were snowy & with some rain -- very beautiful, but definitely take heed of Birgir's cautions about driving in such weather (which held true, even as we had rented a 4-wheel drive Jeep!) -- it is a steep hill up to the cabin, and we did get stuck on our 2nd to last day -- but fortunately the neighbors in the house down the way were incredibly helpful & we got the car out! We enjoyed exploring Akranes & Borganes. We also did see the northern lights on the one clear night -- beautiful to see the green shimmering curtain of light above the steppes/mountains across the valley. Birgir was both proactive and very responsive.

Wonderful lake house, very pretty and very cozy. Would highly reccomend

We had a wonderful time in this cabin with a stunning view! It was just as described in the listing, and we really enjoyed the wood stove and hot tub. It is quiet and very private, and even cozier than the photos make it seem. Well situated for visiting the golden circle and the Snæfellsnes peninsula, and Andrea’s guide to the peninsula was very helpful. Perfect home base for us and our young child.

Very very nice place. 30 minutes from Borganes, Arkanes and Hammsvik hot springs. It was amazing to watch aurora and clear sky from the jacuzzi and then warm up at the fire place inside. Thor responded quickly to any question and everything went smooth. Highly recommended and will definitely return back.
