Cabin in Höfn

Áshlið-Paradise in mountain area. 34km from Höfn

JenRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Jon was very responsive, and he was very accommodating! The home felt comfortable. A couple of things to note, first is the doorways are short. My hubby is 6’3” tall and he hit his head on every door way. And that the only shower is outdoors. I missed that part of the listing. But I’m sure it’s an experience but we did not use it since we only stayed one night. The property and surrounding area is wonderful to explore! Overall a wonderful cozy stay!

Hólaskjól Cabin 2 / Eldgjá highlandcenter.

CharlotteRating, 5 stars31 months ago

Really lovely and cozy cabin, great location with a beautiful waterfall and very close to the entrance of the park, to go hiking. The little kitchen is good to cook a quick diner (there is nothing close by but the host had a mini market with snacks). Only accessible with 4x4, even in summer, as the road has big holes. There is no shower in the cabin but there is one in a building outside. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place, we could even see the Northern Lights as the sky was partially clear!

Home in Höfn

Haukaberg House

CandaceRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The home was spacious, clean, upgraded with modern touches, well decorated and well stocked. The only concern we had was a shared entrance with the owners private office with the lack of a front door key to the rental in order to lock the door for privacy and to keep our belonging protected, which was remedied upon request. This is likely cultural as the country is very safe, but this was something we weren’t used to coming from the states. Otherwise, this is a great property and we loved our stay and would be happy to stay again.

Katla house,secluded,south Iceland

KailasRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was a gem of a place to stay. We were a group of 7 and this accommodation was perfectly situated on our route as we adventured across Iceland. The location is quiet and peaceful; a secluded delight with spectacular surroundings. The interior is decorated with unique vintage treasures which makes the space feel authentic and welcoming. The kitchen is well-equipped for those looking to do a little bit of cooking (as others have noted, it is recommended to pick up groceries in Vík beforehand). Dora was a wonderful host: responsive, kind, and helpful. While we only stayed the one night, my group had an unforgettable time sitting around the dining room table eating, laughing, and telling stories by candlelight; happily recommend this AirBnB.

EduardoRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful place, and it truly exceeded all my expectations! Thanks to Angelo for the tour and the welcome us to the cabin. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views that surrounded the property it felt like a postcard. The cabin itself is a perfect modern luxury. The open-concept living area is spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly cozy, making it ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The large windows allowed us to enjoy the northern lights and it was amazing! Overall, this place is a true gem. The attention to detail, impeccable cleanliness, and thoughtful touches made this an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a place to simply disconnect and enjoy nature, this cabin is the ideal choice. I can’t wait to return!

Sun at the Holiday House

AnnetteRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We really enjoyed our stay at Jona‘s cabin! It was easy to find, clean, and had enough space for the four of us. It was off the main road but still surrounded by a few other cabins, so that it was in the middle of nature but we didn’t feel completely alone. I would definitely recommend this cabin!

Hrifunes Nature Park - Large Maker 1

AlinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We were absolutely happy with this beautiful accommodation. The view of the glacier was stunning, and at night, we enjoyed the starry sky and even the Northern Lights. Whenever we had any issues, we received quick and helpful support. The hot tub was an amazing highlight!

Eldhraun Holiday Home

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Jon & Linda's cottage was extremely peaceful. Located out in the fields, we were able to see the stars and northern lights at night! There were other people staying in cottages by us so we never felt like we were completely alone out in the field. Jon & Linda were proactive with communication and provided clear instructions to get to the cottage and get inside. Everything was clean with instructions and recommendations located in a binder. Theres a hot tub for use here too if you're into that! I highly recommend this cottage for others staying in Iceland and want a place to stop at on their trip!

Hrifunes Nature Park- Grand Datorfa 5

KateRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Beautiful location. Very remote. Definitely go to dinner or grab anything you need before you head back to this place for the night. We saw the northern lights our first night which were beautiful. We never got the hot tub warm but knew that would be something for us to consider when booking. The sauna is wonderful however. Also, it’s not in the listing but this place has a washer/ dryer, two toilets, and 3 showers. We had an issue with one of the showers not draining our first night and someone came out to fix it within a few hours of us messaging them.

Cottage 3 Kirkjubær II - Sleeping bag accomodation

HayatoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

It was a wonderful place surrounded by peaceful nature. The cottage was well-equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a sink. In particular, the air conditioning and insulation were excellent, making it so comfortable that we felt we could stay there with just a light blanket, even without a sleeping bag. As for the location, just a short drive away, we found a quiet environment free from city lights—and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights.
