Family-friendly vacation rentals in Iceland

Comfortable well appointed house in a great town from which to explore the local area. Kitchen worked really well for breakfasts and dinners at home. Plenty of space for our family.

Eyjolfur’s property was the perfect home base for my 17-year old son and I to spend a week! We mainly explored the northwest corner of the country and this was perfect for that. It was also very easy to get into Reykjavík for more dining options and shopping. The privacy and quiet made coming home after a long day of hiking very welcome! The amenities meant that we cooked most of our meals at home and were able to pack food to take with us. And a coffee maker! Excellent for combatting jet lag. 10/10 would rent again!

10/10 space. We left and couldn’t stop thinking about how awesome it was. Between the hottub and comfortable beds it was stellar. I very much look forward to returning <3

The host was very polite and responsive. The location was amazing. We found everything we expected and had a great time in the cottage.

It was incredible to have so much space on our trip. The kitchen was well appointed and we were able to cook our own meals without issue. The hot tub was a great bonus! My only gripes were the tight bathroom, non functioning TV, and no ice cube tray (minor, I know). Overall would highly recommend!

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!

We had a lovely stay and appreciated the proximity to the southern coast sights. The host was very responsive and flexible about our check-in. We previously stayed in the cabin before the new addition, and the new wing of the cabin and the hot tub and deck are wonderful. Comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, and the perfect amount of space for our family of four to spread out after a day of exploring! A great home base for the south coast!

This was the perfect stay for our 2 families of 3. Beautiful home in a peaceful location. I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic Gunnsa and Oli were. They were so responsive and helpful with our stay, recommending a taxi driver and making inquiries for us related to activities we wanted to do. The check in and check out was SO flexible and easy- the hosts were just amazing our whole week, going above and beyond. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful home in Iceland.

The charming cabin was comfortable and homey with a beautiful view. Checkin and checkout at nearby lodge was quick. The friendly staff made us feel at home.

One of the best places we stayed while in Iceland. We were able to walk to the private black sand beach to watch the sunset. So picturesque and beautiful. The yurt was very comfortable. The heated beds were perfect. Even caught a glimpse of the northern lights! Cannot recommend this place enough.

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!

We had a magical stay at Sjornohall! The unique setting amongst the moss covered pseudo-craters feels like it’s from a movie and the views of the Northern Lights were breathtaking. The locations makes a great base for visiting Vik, as well as visiting the National Park with ice cave tours. Audur is thoughtful, kind, and very responsive. She even let my kids meet her chickens, horses, and dogs which was a highlight of our stay for them. The house had every amenity we could have needed, as well as many unique extra touches. We hope to return again some day!

Location was perfect for sightseeing near and far. The airbnb was very comfortable and warm with a well equipped kitchen. Trausti was a great host. I would highly recommend this place.

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.

Great place with lovely views

Very special accomodation, nice craftmanship. Stunning view. You need an 4wd in Octobre - we had some snow..

Very nice area and super suitable for relaxing evenings to wind down!

Very good, very spacious, very responsive host, in a beautiful location, perfect.

We loved our short but sweet stay at this peaceful location. Would definitely return on another trip! A perfect location for Golden Circle or heading further south. Loved it and the surroundings!

Could not have asked for a better spot in the quiet countryside of Iceland! Beautiful views, quiet and cozy home, and warm and gracious hosts made for an incredible stay. Thank you!

Edda's place was wonderful!It's location is perfect as it is about 15' walk away from the center and the parking is free and easy if you follow her instructions. Everything was clean and tidy, and Edda herself was friendly and very responsive to all our questions!Highly recommended!Thanks for everything!
