Cottage vacation rentals in Hvalfjarðarsveit

We stayed 1 week and had a wonderful stay. Check in was flexible and easy and the photo's of the cottage do not do it justice. The cottage is superb and has everything you need along with fabulous views and an amazing hot tub. Great location for exploring and Justin was great at making sure everything was ok during our trip. We had such an amazing stay and we will certainly return.

Magical place and magical stay. Thank you for everything!!

Excellently located for short drive to most key attractions within the golden circle. Very quiet and away from the main towns so perfect for seeing the northern lights. Spacious modern house with everything we need. Dóróthea and Baldur were perfect hosts and very responsive. We must come back here!

We absolutely loved staying here! It was easy to get to in winter with 4WD and was a lovely location to watch the northern lights (there is not much light pollution). We visited in February and watched the lights from the hot tub multiple nights in a row. It is also the perfect location to visit the three 3 major attractions on the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss) as well as other Golden Circle destinations. They are all within a 10-30 minute drive. The house was clean, warm, and inviting. The welcome book and “leaving Uthlið” book was very detailed and well thought-out. Everything in the house was in its place as the notebook and instructions stated. Palmi and Vala were very responsive and had great recommendations. 10/10 Highly recommend!

We had a magical time at Sabrina’s cabin! Sabrina was incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed as well as close to many sights. We saw the northern lights from the cabin our first night! Unforgettable :) Book it!!!

An amazing peaceful retreat, yet close enough for all the sightseeing we wanted to do.. dark skies provided an amazing opportunity to see the Northern lights!

Great location, very nicely decorated cottage, easy accommodation, peace and quiet, plus a large outdoor hot tub, I highly recommend this place and hosts :)

My husband and I wanted to get away from the city and out in the country. This was the perfect place for us. The scenery around the cabin is breathtaking. We enjoyed the hottub and we're also able to view the Northern Lights on a few nights. The amenities inside were perfect and just what we needed. I was a little apprehensive about the shower being outside in a separate building, at first, but the water was hot and the pressure was excellent. Our stay was perfect and the communication with Vidar was top notch. Such a beautiful place.

Stunning view. A classic A-frame cabin. Soooo quiet and peaceful. Peaceful. Easy to walk to the restaurant and if you choose, walk to the little communities nearby, including farms and the local church. It's a cabin in the golden circle. Don't be a jerk. Appreciate. We are all lucky to experience this. And if you ask a question, Jake ANSWERS you almost immediately. But really... the porch overlooking the valley... and the AMAZING outdoor shower with hot water from the local geothermal station. SHUT UP if you don't appreciate how special this is. Therapeutic. Ahhhhhhhh. We stayed up late and saw the northern lights. Doesn't get better for peace and authentic. Thanks Jake!!!! 😁

The house was very cosy, always warm and perfect for a stay as a couple. We had a great time and an amazing view of the northern lights on our final evening!

Gudny was an amazing, generous, and kind host. We felt immediately right at home and the home is well stocked with everything you could need as you adventure around Iceland. The location was excellent for our needs and it was quiet with beautiful views. The home was exactly as expected and the hot tub and outdoor shower were excellent! We would 100% stay again and highly recommend staying!!

The scenery was amazing. It was wonderful to hang out on the porch, though admittedly a bit chilly in early October. The cabin was very cute, well laid out, clean, and with many small touches that made it wonderful. Only downside was that the hot water does have a strong sulfur smell and the kitchen sink is shallow resulting in water often spraying out of the sink due to the high water pressure. Aside from those two minor issues that place was perfect solitude. One other item to mention is that the nearby waterfall trail was very worthwhile. You park in the nearby small neighborhood and walk up an ATV trail. It was amazing to be the only people around the waterfall and to be able to hike further up the mountains.

Stefan was great host, helped us as much as he could with recommendations and provided clear instructions on how to reach out his place and use it best way as possible-we truly appreciate and recommend!

Very peaceful and homely cabin in beautiful surroundings. Svanna is very helpful and the cabin is well kept and cosy. Rural location - we were lucky enough to catch the northern lights 4 nights in a row! Would happily stay again, thank you ☺️

We stayed a week at this beautiful cozy cabin with four people. It was nicely equipped very cozy and we loved watching the stars from the hot tub. Thorstein was a super nice host who was always available if we had questions. The location is central for trips around the golden circle and is thus a perfect combination of peaceful remoteness and hot spot for sight seeing. We recomend it warmly and hope to come back some time.

Enjoy your stay in this cabin in the snow

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect! Odd and Friða’s cottage was everything we hoped for and more! It was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable. Odd and Friða were wonderful hosts, very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The highlight for us was the hot tub, especially while watching the northern lights dance across the sky—an unforgettable experience! The well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like coffee supplies and spices. The beds were super comfortable, even the fold-out ottoman our son slept on. The provided robes for the hot tub were a great touch. The WiFi was strong, which was a plus, but the real showstopper was the view—the breathtaking fjord, majestic mountains, and beautiful horses grazing below, especially after a fresh snowfall. It truly felt like a winter wonderland. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Our family had a great week stay in cottage three. We were lucky to see the Northern Lights on our second night. It was great to be able to dip into the hot pot after exploring Iceland in the day. All amenities were as described and we also enjoyed being able to wander down to the waterfront to watch the local wildlife. Recommended!

Very nice place to stay! I can really recommend this airbnb :)

Maggy’s cottage was a perfect stay. Beautiful views towards the lake, extremely peaceful and not overlooked. Our first visit to Iceland, and will not hesitate to use Maggy’s cottage again as a base!

Alfa and Finnur were very friendly and helpful, the best hosts!!! The house is lovely and cozy. Perfect for our family! The hot tub was the perfect temperature and so relaxing. I sincerely hope this place is available for our next visit!!!

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.

I cannot say enough about how positive our experience with Helga and her home was! She was extremely proactive in her communication and went above and beyond to make the home comfortable for our 1st vacation with our 7 month old son. If you are looking for a calm, quiet, peaceful home-away-from-home, Helga's place is PERFECT! It is not a far drive from downtown Reijkavik and has fantastic proximity to Hvasmmsvik Hot Springs and the Golden Circle. We made memories that will last a lifetime holding our son and watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky from the floor to ceiling windows in the liviing room and loft. We cannot wait to return to Iceland and hope to find our way back to Helga's home!

A very cozy apartment with an amazing view! Linda was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, including everyday essentials like coffee, spices, and oil, which was a thoughtful touch. The location is perfect for exploring the western part of Iceland. I highly recommend this wonderful apartment!
