Houten huisjes in IJsland

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!

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 :)

Great private, cozy, peaceful cabin with a geothermal jacuzzi. Bring some drinks, snacks, sit back and relax in front of the wood burning fireplace on a cold night after a long day enjoying the sites in Iceland.

One of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed at. Andrés was so kind and accommodating and had great recommendations, the cottage was charming with incredible views and in a great location. Everything was so clean and well organized, will absolutely be recommending this place to anyone we know traveling to Iceland! One of my favorite stays ever. We hope to return again and again!

nous avons passé un excellent moment, cadre superbe, logement parfait, merci beaucoup

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!

Waren nun zum zweiten Mal in der Unterkunft. Schön ruhig und abgelegen und dennoch sind Selfoss und oder touristische Ziele schnell zu erreichen. Selfoss und der Krater Kerið in ca 15 Minuten und der Nationalpark Þingvellir in 40 Minuten. Ideale Ferienwohnung für 2 Personen die im Urlaub abschalten wollen. Auch der Kontakt mit Steinunn ist schnell und unkompliziert. Nächster Urlaub ist schon in der Planung.

Die Unterkunft ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Super schönes kleines Häuschen mit allen benötigten Sachen. Die Gegend ist perfekt für Leute, die Ruhe suchen und eine schöne Aussicht genießen möchten. Wir wünschten, dass wir länger dort geblieben wären.

Appartamento completo di tutto, posizione molto tranquilla. Lukas é stato molto chiaro nel fornire le indicazioni per raggiungere l'appartamento. Se usate la lavatrice sentirete un po' di vibrazioni al momento della centrifuga. Grazie

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.

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.

Diese Unterkunft ist traumhaft und idyllisch, mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet und sehr bequem. Nach einem langen Fahrt von Akureyri nach Süden wir sind einfach in einem Paradies gelandet-so hat auf uns die Unterkunft gewirkt! Versteckt zwischen Bäumen und viel Blumen , wunderschön ausgestattet und mit eine großartige Terrasse vorne ! Wir werden diese drei Nächte lange in Gedanken behalten! Eidur ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und hat sofort geantwortet und ein paar gute Hinweise gegeben was wir noch sehen können. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können nur dankbar sein und weiter empfehlen! Wirklich ein Paradies!

Die Unterkunft war abseits der Straße gut zu finden. Wir haben uns dort gleich wohl gefühlt und haben dort ein paar schöne Tage verbraucht.

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!

If you're looking for a serene place to stay in the southeastern region of Iceland, this cabin is perfect. It's in a peaceful, remote location surrounded by nature—exactly what we were hoping for. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like our own little hideaway. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive. We requested an extra blanket and sheet, and they provided them right away, which we really appreciated. The cabin is also just a 15-minute drive from Höfn, where you'll find a large supermarket and a few great restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again!

Hier bekommt man das wie es beschrieben wurde. Für 2 Personen perfekt, für 3 Erwachsene auch noch gut möglich. Straßenverkehr sehr gering. Der benachbarte See ist nicht so einfach zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich.

We originally had issues with electricity but Byrnja moved us into a neighboring cabin because of this that was even fancier than we originally stayed at with no cost. Communication was a little lacking but place was amazing and view was way better than shown in the pictures

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!
