New Renovated House with Mountain view & hot tub

RebeccaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a really lovely stay at Margret’s place. It was clean and warm and absolutely beautifully decorated - felt very special. The beds were incredibly comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. There was a lot of space for 4 people - a really relaxing end to our holiday. We had one bright day and two wet cloudy ones. No northern lights sadly but it was fun sitting out in the hot tub under a starry sky. We went for a wonderful family beach ride at Stori Kambur which is just 10 minutes east. In the afternoon we walked to Hellnar along the coast and saw lots of humpback whales. One even breached right out of the water. Take binoculars! Sunset near the light house was gorgeous. Everything is very close by on the peninsula so it was easy to see a lot. On our last morning we drove up to the north coast and took a whale watching tour - we were so lucky to see lots of orcas and another humpback whale. The peninsula is a great place to explore and Margret’s house was a perfect base.

Home in Laugardalur

Downtown at the ocean in the center of Reykjavik

SuzanneRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Extremely well stocked with supplies and all sorts of gadgets and home comforts. Christmas decorations and a small gift for each of the children along with a bottle and chocolates were such a thoughtful and nice touch as we were staying over Christmas Day. Just bear in mind it’s a tourist attraction so if you don’t lock the door you may get an unexpected visitor. We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of character and very homely.

Cabin in Hafnarfjörður

The Secret Cabin with hot tube in Nature Reserve

DanielRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had an amazing stay in the cabin. The setting is gorgeous and peaceful, but still an easy drive to the supermarket (always good when travelling with hungry children). Close drive from the airport and easy to access the major roads for exploring by car. We would love to go back.

Hraunháls, Sanctuary

WillyRating, 5 stars3 days ago

The accommodation is spacious, very well equipped. Various games are available for children and board games are also provided. The accommodation is clean and nice. An electrical outlet is also available for those who have an electric vehicle. Finally the views are stunning from the living room, a huge view of the bay.

Luxury Lakeview Cottage

NolwennRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Beautiful home in an incredible location. The view on the lake and the mountain is just perfect for a moment of respite. Having the horses as neighbours, the Hvammsvik Hot Springs less than 10min away, easy access to Golden Circle and even 2h away from Snaesfellsjokull Peninsula, it is just the perfect location. House is pristine, extremely well equipped with highest standard furnitures. Margaret is an amazing host, very fast to answer any request. We even had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights directly from the deck. Very highly recommended

Luxury close to the capital

JedRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Checkin was a breeze and Alfa was extremely helpful throughout our entire stay. Truly a beautiful home with everything you need, especially if you’re traveling with kids. Views from the home are absolutely stunning and the interior is very warm and welcoming. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would absolutely love to visit again.

Brekka Retreat - Cozy cottage

RobertRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had an amazing stay in this cozy cabin overlooking the water. We rented a 4x4 so the driveway was no issue. This stay was close enough to all the things we wanted to see but far away enough that we felt like we were alone in Iceland. Perfect size for a couple! Warm and cozy in March with spectacular views.

Cabin in Selfoss

A log cabin at the river bank!

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 day ago

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!

Our stay was perfect. The cabin was great and exactly as shown in the pictures. The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances for a small kitchen. Eggert was quick to respond and check-in was easy and smooth. Great overall experience and would definitely recommend this place.

A paradise with geothermal , river stone hot tub

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews1 week ago

We absolutely loved Zoei's garden and will definitely return if we find ourselves back in Iceland. Everything was just perfect, from the gorgeous home, to the lovely and well-designed interior to the (OMG) best private geothermal hot tub. Godo the friendly cat was just the icing on top. Zoei's place was well-stocked and had everything our family with 2 littles desired and if I could, I would give her place 10 stars! Definitely our favorite place in Iceland and even a top overall.

Cozy Cabin with Hot Tub

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviews6 days ago

This was the perfect place for our group of two moms and two teen daughters. It was within an hour of Reykjavik and key Golden Circle sites, and was easy access to Highway 1 that took us to the Southern part of the country to experience its dramatic features (our favorite part). Nearby Sellfoss offered the cheapest gas we found and lower prices at grocery stores than in Reykjavik. We had amazing views of the Northern Lights every night we stayed up late enough to see them due to the wide open views from the cabin and relative low light in the valley. The hosts were AMAZING, offering tips, keeping us informed about the area, and even dropping us a quick note when they'd heard through local reports that there would be a particularly great aurora display that night. We also loved the relative privacy and open space around the cabin. I almost hesitate to go on as we plan to return one day and I hope the place isn't booked solid!

Nice & Open 3 floors Great Views

5 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews1 week ago

Host was very accommodating for our check in as we arrived in Iceland on a 6am flight. Check in was smooth and the place was described exactly how it was. We felt right at home with all the amenities provided. They even provided safety gates for the stairs as we were traveling with a toddler. If you’re lucky, you could see Auroras through these beautiful glass windows (I think we were too late for Aurora season). It’s private yet accessible, with Bonus and gas stations within less than 5 minutes away. The place is ideally located for exploring the Golden Circle. We had an enjoyable stay and would definitely visit again if we are back in Iceland.

We stayed with our two adult children for hunting some northern lights. The accommodation was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. A true recommendation if you look for a private, clean, quiet and modern stay with stunning views. Ragnar was always available and a helpful host.

Stunning Luxury Chalet in Húsafell in West Iceland

5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews6 months ago

The location is great if you want to have an experience in iceland away from Reykjavik but still close to fun tourist attractions. Husafell has plenty to offer while the home itself is spaced nicely away from other houses in this small neighborhood within this little village. The house itself is magnificent. Heated floor makes the house so warm and welcoming. The beds are very comfortable and all the amenities are just over the top nice and high qaulity. I've stayed at AirBnBs that were much more expensive and had uncomfortable beds and skimped on every amenity, this was a very welcome surprise compared to those experiences. My favorite was the hot tub which actually used the natural hot water from the ground rather than a heating mechanism... so essentially you are getting your very own hot springs experience included with this rental! The sauna was also a favortite among a number in our party. Would lvoe to come back and spoend more time here!

Condo in Keflavík

Cozy 2 bedroom apartment near the airport HG-19122

Kerri And ScottRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We LOVED our time here and were sad to leave. It was our cozy home away from home and was perfect for our two year old. The apartment was warm and squeaky clean. It was close to the airport with convenient parking. The beds were really comfortable as well. It is right off the freeway and easy to hop over to Reykjavik in about 30-40 minutes or so. 10/10 would stay here again.

Cabin in Grímsnes

Great location! Cabin south

ClaireRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The location of this property couldn’t have been more perfect. Each day we were within an hours drive from major sights and activities including: thingvellir and silfra, gulfoss and geyser, Rejkavik, blue lagoon and seljalandsfoss. Selfoss is accessible and the geothermal park in hvererageroi was fab. The remoteness created the perfect conditions away from built up areas and we were thrilled to see the northern lights twice - viewing them from the hot tub made it feel even more special. House was tidy with everything we needed and just as described. Instructions to get there and responses from Gunhilder were excellent. We would thoroughly recommend this property for a self drive action packed Icelandic holiday.

Lovely Riverside Cottage South of Iceland HG 3278

RonRating, 5 stars7 months ago

This is a place I could’ve stayed at for a long time. A fantastically stocked kitchen and spacious living area. It comes across much larger than advertise. The best part of the place is its peaceful serenity, and its wonderful view. Good central location for doing day trips to check out many great locations that South Iceland provides. Would definitely stay here again, and again and again and again. 😊

Lakeside cabin in Thingvellir #2

DarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a fantastic time at Straumnes cabins. The cabins are very peaceful, and in a beautiful setting on the lake. We were spending a couple of days doing the golden circle and South coast and the cabin was perfectly located for this. The communication was great, the cabin was well equipped with everything we needed, and lovely and warm. Many thanks to our host for a great stay. We would highly recommend the cabin for family's exploring the golden circle that want a peaceful stay in the countryside.

Family home great location HG-00019555

LeahRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had an amazing time at Geir’s family home! This was an incredible place to spend the new year and we would absolutely return! The location is perfect. We were able to walk outside the city lights a short distance to get an amazing view of the northern lights. A designated lookout is also a short car ride away. Plus, downtown Reykjavík is a short car or bus ride away! It could also be a good walk for those who like to hike.
