Cabin vacation rentals in Reykjavík

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!

The cabin was away from the city which was what we wanted. Unfortunately we happened to stay when there was a storm so we didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful views. You definitely need 4 wheel drive during the winter, be barely made it up the driveway most nights even with 4 wheel drive. The cabin is small but functional, plenty of kitchenware to cook at home. If we were here durning the summer I would really enjoy the deck. Overall it was a nice stay!

The cabin was located on a small road outside of town, near other cabins but still very quiet. It was a good balance between being in an isolated area while also having 15 minute access to stores and restaurants. Cabin was small and cozy and sufficient for 3 people. The top bunk of the bunk bed was a bit too tight against the ceiling but my daughter had no trouble sleeping on the big sectional couch. Instructions provided by Katrin were clear and helpful, including ensuring we got a 4x4 rental car for the road in winter!

We had such a great time, the cabin exceeded expectations in every way! Lilja was very responsive and helpful for any questions we had. The most beautiful surroundings and so peaceful! We enjoyed the hot tub, dart board and pool table. We even got to see the auroras on 2 separate nights which was a real highlight! The kitchen is small with a small over, this didn’t matter for us but could be useful to know if you were not planning to go out much. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend this cabin!!

Enjoyed our stay there very much - relaxing and quiet.

We had a lovely stay at Hélgi's, the accommodation is very nice and the hot tub was very appreciated at the end of the day it was tip top!

A bit remote, but very peaceful place. Make sure you have supplies or be prepared to drive 20+ for the most simple sandwich. It was pretty chilly when first entering, but the place heats up pretty quickly. Soaking in the hot tub and looking up to see all the stars and aurora activity was pretty special. Tumi upgraded me to the main house which was great, as he needed to do some work on the cabin. On your trip to Thingvellir National Park you'll pass the Þórufoss falls. Use the google link to get directions to the place!

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.

I had such an incredible stay, the house was very cosy and surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. Everything was extremely clean and well thought out. Ágúst provided easy to follow instructions to find the place and was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. Watching the stars from the outside jacuzzi was particularly special. I highly recommend!!!

Staying at Anton’s cabin in Ölfus was an unforgettable experience. The cabin is beautifully designed—cozy and equipped with everything you could need. Nestled in a peaceful and scenic location, it offered the perfect retreat for relaxation while being close enough to explore the stunning Icelandic landscape. Anton was an outstanding host, always quick to respond and incredibly thoughtful in ensuring we had everything we needed. He even shared great recommendations for local spots and activities. Waking up to the breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere was a highlight of our trip. We can’t recommend this cabin enough for anyone looking for a serene and authentic Icelandic getaway. Thank you, Anton—we’ll definitely be back!

What a beautiful little cabin! Everything you need for a few days in Iceland. Great location as only 15 mins from Reykjavik and ideal for driving around the golden circle and fjords near Akranes. Great communication and instructions for checking in. The hot tub is a wonderful addition for star gazing and spotting northern lights (we saw the Aurora for two out of three nights!) We had the BEST time!

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

This feels like less of a "review" and more of our most sincere and incredibly heartfelt Thank You to Zoei and Bab. We came to Iceland for our secret elopement and booked our flights only after finding this Airbnb... we knew it was the perfect setting for our private ceremony, and there are truly no words to describe just how magical Zoei's Garden is. From the moment we walked in, we could feel the immense care and love and spiritual energy that they have poured into every corner of this home / property. The private hot spring lagoon was the most magical we experienced our entire time in Iceland. This home is by far the best kept secret on Airbnb, and hands down the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at. Zoei was extremely communicative and helpful and so sweet and kind. It felt like we were staying at the home of a dear friend. We will never forget Zoei's Garden and cannot wait to come back. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, Zoei & Bab. ❤️ Luther & Lexie (11.2.2025)

We had an absolutely amazing stay here! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Getting to the lodge was easy, both during the day and at night, and the check-in process couldn't have been smoother. The place is exactly as described, if not more beautiful in person. The views of the mountains and lake from the lodge are simply breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to catch glimpses of the Northern Lights! The location is also ideal, with many excursions not being too far away. A helpful tip - you’re planning to do the Northern Lights tour, we discovered that the stops to view them were only about a 5-minute drive from the lodge, so you might want to consider just driving around to catch them! Gudrun was fantastic and was always available to answer any questions we had. My family and I loved every moment of stay and We definitely hope to return in the future.

The small house is lovingly furnished and equipped with everything. It was very cozy for 3 people.

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!

The cabin was away from the city which was what we wanted. Unfortunately we happened to stay when there was a storm so we didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful views. You definitely need 4 wheel drive during the winter, be barely made it up the driveway most nights even with 4 wheel drive. The cabin is small but functional, plenty of kitchenware to cook at home.
