Cabin holiday rentals in Kjósarhreppur

Birgir's cabin is very snug & warm -- festive with bright red lights -- everything in its nook -- and an amazing perch to see across the valley & short drive to the fjord. Our trip was at the end of December and most days/nights were snowy & with some rain -- very beautiful, but definitely take heed of Birgir's cautions about driving in such weather (which held true, even as we had rented a 4-wheel drive Jeep!) -- it is a steep hill up to the cabin, and we did get stuck on our 2nd to last day -- but fortunately the neighbors in the house down the way were incredibly helpful & we got the car out! We enjoyed exploring Akranes & Borganes. We also did see the northern lights on the one clear night -- beautiful to see the green shimmering curtain of light above the steppes/mountains across the valley. Birgir was both proactive and very responsive.

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 had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful home near Þingvellir National Park. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee or soaking in the hot tub under the midnight sun, the scenery never stopped impressing us. The hot tub and sauna were perfect after long days of exploring and made the experience feel like a true Icelandic escape. Our host was fantastic! Super responsive and helpful throughout the entire stay. They even arranged a thoughtful welcome basket with wine and snacks, which made us feel instantly at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for our Iceland adventure. Highly recommend!

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.

We had a wonderful stay, the cabin was lovely and the location was absolutely beautiful! Thor and Ryan were incredibly friendly and responsive hosts who made everything a breeze. Highly recommend!

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.

Exactly what we were looking for. A great location for lots of sight seeing , fantastic area for fishing. Hopefully back next year 👍

Great cabin with beautiful views! It was perfect for family of 6. Had everything we needed. Super close to Thingvellir national park. Selfoss is 30 minutes away for restaurants and groceries.

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!

This is a lovely, cosy away from it all cottage. The drive along the whale fjord to get there is just stunning, one night we stopped the car to enjoy the northern lights. There are numerous lakes and waterfalls nearby too. The cottage is warm, cute & friendly, calming interior-the fire place adds to the feeling of relaxation, the two bedrooms are very comfortable. The couch/ fire/ view combination is fabulous. The host supplied plenty of linen, towels and other basics, very much appreciated considering how expensive Iceland is to visit.

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!

Frederikke's cottage was perfect for us. The location was great, it was easy to reach interesting destinations in southwest Iceland by a car. Although there are also other cottages in the area, it's still quiet and beautiful, and it feels like you are right on the edge of the wilderness. I've never had a such a view from the kitchen window! The cottage was nice and clean, and there was everything we needed. Frederikke was great! She gave us useful information, and it was smooth and easy to communicate with her. I can highly recommend Frederikke's cottage!

This place was ah-mazing! So peaceful and such much to do nearby! We loved our time there and highly recommend it to those who want to peace and tranquility while in Iceland!

A fantastic place to stay in a truly stunning location!

The cabin is well suited for a couple who love nature, views that inspire and wish for privacy. It was immaculately clean and well cared for. It is also in a good location if you wish to travel for day trips to Borgarnes, Hvammsvik Hot springs and Thingvellir national park.

Amazing place and beautiful surroundings.

My family and I thorough enjoyed our stay! After a long day of travel the hot tub and peaceful surroundings were just what was needed! The location was within easy driving distance to many local attractions and to the city for any supplies needed. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful stay just outside the capital.

From the charming fireplace to the well-appointed kitchen, this cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay. ;)

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.

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

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.

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