Cabin holiday rentals in Hvalfjarðarsveit

Mattias was an amazing host, he catered to my every needs and also gave me regular updates on weather conditions. He also gave me supermarket recommendations which were on the way from the airport, which was very helpful.

Lilja and Úlfur were great hosts that opened up their wonderful home to us. The house itself is beautiful, well designed, and nicely appointed. There are panoramic views from the comfort of the couch which were beautiful. The house has a hot tub that sits on the wrap around deck which was a highlight. It was perfect for relaxing on a cold winter's night. We chose to stay at Lilja's place because it provides the privacy and seclusion in nature that we wanted, but that it was also close enough to Reykjavik for day trips. It has the perfect balance. Seeing the Northern Lights was a goal of our visit, and the location was plenty distant enough from the city lights to get a fantastic view when they did occur. During our stay, there was an issue that occurred which was out of the control of the owners, but Lilja and Úlfur made every effort to address the situation. It was clear that Lilja always cared for our family's happiness. We would love to stay again someday.

Jon was a very responsive host. We had a few questions and he immediately replied to all of them. The place was perfect for us. Spent the nights in the hot tub seeing the northern lights. Great central location to a lot of things.

Tumi was extremely helpful the entire experience, offering more than what was even offered on the listing. We seriously appreciate all the effort that was made to make our last day in Iceland as easy and stress free as possible. If I had to say one thing, it is that the location of this rental is a bit confusing to get to. Offering slightly better instructions would be extremely helpful, but overall was a perfect distance from the airport and offered everything needed for an affordable stay - plus a hot tub!

We wanted to book a nice place for our final days in Iceland, somewhere comfortable and with nice views because we wanted to reduce the pace and rest after several days with lots of activity. I wouldn’t find a better place for that, we felt like home but better, the view is beautiful, the house is cozy and there is the hot tub to complete. The house has everything you need, a complete kitchen, separated bedrooms that were nice for us with two kids, a nice deck outside. And on top of that Jara and Einar are wonderful hosts. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful, cozy, and well-equipped, with stunning views and complete privacy. The location is perfect for a peaceful retreat, but in winter, a 4x4 is a must due to snowdrifts and challenging access. Despite that, everything about the stay was perfect, and we would highly recommend it!

We had an amazing stay at the cottage. So cosy and peaceful in the middle of a farm with Icelandic horses, surrounded by snowcapped mountains and on the seashore. It had everything we could ever wish for for our first trip to Iceland, including no light pollution allowing us to experience a fantastic Aurora Borealis show every night there! The cottage had everything we needed for the 2 of us and our 4 year-old daughter. It was also surprisingly super warm inside despite the freezing wind outside. We also very much enjoyed soaking in all the views in the hot tub in the evenings. We highly recommend a stay there!

Went on my honeymoon was exactly what was described. Had an amazing view and had a super nice stay.

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.

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!!

We booked the hut for the private geothermal hot tub and although it takes 1-2 hours to fill it was absolutely amazing! We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet, there is nothing else than a nice view and smell of pine with the sound of some birds around.

The cottage is decorated like in a fairy tale, very nicely decorated and super cozy. You can tell that Agnes takes care of the house with love. Everything is super clean and food as well as skin care are provided. You can really treat yourself at Agnes'. The cottage is located on a hill near Geysir and Gullfoss - a great location for a vacation in Iceland. The disadvantage is the great distance to the nearest supermarket. But Agnes is very precautionary: The fridge was already filled when we arrived and none of us had to starve. The kitchen was also fully equipped with spices, oil, food in stock and kitchen appliances. Communication with Agnes was great too. She always responded quickly and helped us quickly when we had problems.

This was a nice cozy cabin with a hot tub and good location near Thingvellir and other ring road attractions (geysir, gullfoss, etc). Very private, and nice yard, though despite their being ~5-6 sleeping spots, the cabin itself was likely too small for that many (we had 3 and that was about the most I’d recommend). Host was very responsive and helpful. For those traveling the ring road, this is a great spot to have in the itinerary!

Ylfa was amazing and helpful- grateful to have been able to stay.

Sígrun’s place was exactly what we were looking for! We had the best welcome ever being greeted by the northern lights. The house is well equipped with everything you need. From kitchen appliances to toiletries. And the hot tub outside, is an excellent place to relax. Location is perfect. Very nice and quiet and also close to all the main attractions of the golden circle. Our farewell was also memorable with northern lights dancing for us! Some places we’d like to recommend: Sky Lagoon, Thingvellir National park (20 min drive from the house, bring good shoes, can be very slippery). Tryggvaskali restaurant, Messinn restaurant, Silfra restaurant. And of course all the other attractions around the golden circle. Thank you, Sigrún, hope to be back soon!

Thanks for beautiful cabin. We loved to stay there.

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

Great place to enjoy quietness and nature! The house is super clean and has everything you need. The view is amazing and the hot tub made this place even more special. Would totally recommend it!

This is a cute cabin with modern amenities, ideally situated for exploring surrounding areas and relaxing in place. We loved the comfy beds and coffee machine and peaceful community.

We absolutely loved this house. It is so cozy and charming, and the scenery is gorgeous. It doesn't feel like a rental, it feels like a home. Gudrun Maria really pays attention to the details that make your stay comfortable.

This place is truly a hidden gem — incredibly cozy and peaceful, surrounded by stunning nature in every direction. The views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is calm, quiet, and deeply relaxing. The cabin is warm and beautifully designed, with a perfect balance of comfort and simplicity. It’s an ideal escape from the noise of everyday life. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Really comfortable cabin in an exceptional location with fantastic view. If you enjoy Scandinavian style comfort and solitude in a scenic lakeside setting then this is the place. Everything was as described, very easy to find with the precise satnav directions from the hosts. The sauna, hot tub and decking chairs overlooking the lake are a real plus. Ivar was a responsive host. Nearest town for shops and restaurants is approx 25 min drive. Be aware that the wooden steps leading down to the cabin from the parking place are quite steep and with no handrail.

I loved staying at Thor's cabin. It was exactly what I needed for a relaxing weekend. Beautiful place, incredible scenery. Their well maintained cabin is privately located in the Fjord, but not to far way from surrounding towns. They have a great outdoor space, and the coziest indoor setting. Thank you! Hope to be back again!

We stayed at this place for two nights ( 3 adults and 1 kid). It is very well equipped, you'll find everything you need for grilling or regular cooking. Views are breathtaking, and if you're lucky with the weather you can just chill outside and enjoy the fresh air. Hosts were very friendly and quickly answered all our questions. Instructions are perfect. One thing to note - if you use google maps, don't put the address there, use the coordinates. Address is correct, but google maps directs you to wrong location ( though, not far from correct place ).
