Cabin holiday rentals in Sveitarfélagið Ölfus

It was really incredibly beautiful with a view of the horses. The hostess was totally nice and organized a horseback ride for us:) The cottage itself was also fantastic. As you can see in the pictures it is very small and cozy. But that didn't bother us at all. The hot tub was the highlight for us. Unlike other listings, the hot tub is not constantly warm/ full and chlorinated. It is filled with geothermal water when you want. It was really extremely nice. We also saw Northern Lights!

The cabin is located conveniently outside of Reykjavik within about 20 minutes or so. Great access to the Ring Road and Golden Circle. The location and privacy are excellent. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It is nice to end your day in the hot tub.

Thank you for everything!

Pretty good spots, nice amenities and close to a lot of great golden circle hot spots. Hot tub, sauna, and fireplace made the nights very fun. Tons of space and the guest house is great to spread out. Only improvement would be checkin process, just because we didn’t have cell phone service to text to open the gate, so had to walk up to the house. Easy fix

I never write reviews but I had to!! This place is amazing and seriously the best air bnb we have ever stayed! The privacy and location was absolutely perfect. Will 1000% be coming back here!

Oskar is a super host, very responsive, friendly, understanding and helpful. The house is located in a beautiful quiet area and is exactly how it looks in the pictures. The hot tube is a really nice addition, kitchen full equipped and beds comfortable. I would happily recommend Oskar house to anyone and look forward to a return visit.

Everything was amazing, she’s very helpful and friendly and suggested us local activities around. The place is clean and the location is beautiful peaceful very good if you want to stay away from the city and have relaxing and quiet time, but also is like 20 minutes to the city, So kinda nice. We also saw the Aurora from the house. I highly recommend it and if i coming back again, will stay at this place. Thank you Katrin!!

The place was good and location was great too.

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!

Great location with so much to do within driving distance. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The cabin was so cozy and calm with beautiful surroundings. We saw the northern lights, the glow of a volcano and the children had a lot of fun on the zip line.

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.

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) stayed here for a week in April, 2025. We found the log cabin the perfect home base for our trip. We loved starting our day with coffee on the deck, admiring the views and birdwatching and ending it on the deck in the hot tub with the Aurora Borealis overhead. Downtown Selfoss is about 25 mins away and there are two grocery stores and a bunch of restaurants. Check out the food hall. It’s an adorable city!

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

Kind and friendly hosts in a superb and unique setting to explore the south coast of Iceland! There is plenty of privacy and space in a nicely decorated and incredible well equipped cabin. Everything is as great as you think it is going to be, if not better. The cabin represents stunning value and my only wish is that I had stayed longer! Thank you Pall and Birna.

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.

Lovely cabin we saw the Northern lights from the hot tub. private and quiet Relatively close to Golden Circle attractions Selfoss and Hella.

We had a wonderful stay. Great location! We saw the Northern Lights from the porch, it was amazing.

The cabin is a fantastic little bolt hole just outside of Selfoss. Perfect little place, well stocked and clean. It’s perfect for 4, but I think it would struggle to fit 5. Hosts are really helpful, responsive and give lots of useful advice. We would highly recommend

This airbnb is located outside of Selfoss on a beautiful hill that has a very scenic view. You must call the host to open the gate to let you in and out of the driveway that goes up to the house. This was not a problem- the host was available easily. The house is very cute and cozy. We were able to cook our dinner and relax watching some tv in the living room. My daughter loved sleeping up in the loft and seeing the northern lights was the highlight of our stay in this house.

Was a great stay! Our host was super responsive and very helpful. Beds were very comfortable and had plenty of blankets! The cottage was out of the way, which was exactly what we were looking for! It wasn’t too far away from town, maybe a 30 minute drive.

Beautiful and small but comfortable cottage. Very cozily furnished. Very quiet location. A+

Great private location with a stunning view of the lake, and only a 15 minute drive from Reykjavik. It matched the description exactly and Sigga was a very responsive host!

Great quiet place a little off the beaten path.

A fantastic place to stay in a truly stunning location!
