Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Bláskógabyggð

Great location. A lovely cottage. The outdoor shower is cool (with water that’s hot!)

We enjoyed our stay and would return! The cabin is in a secluded neighborhood with open fields, but there is one neighboring cabin right next door. There is a relatively tall privacy fence all the way around, but if there had been guests staying next door at the same time as us, we likely would have heard some voices if they were outside too. Luckily, the neighboring cabin was unoccupied during our stay. We made great use of the hot tub and loved listening to the birds and looking at the gorgeous open fields and distant mountains. The home was clean and everything was in working order.

WOW! That is the best description of Geirthruder's place. Maybe even more perfect than the photos. A perfect location to easily check out the Golden Circle The layout of her house is great with the living area dividing the two bedroom areas. Easy entrance, over-the-top kitchen, cozy woodburning fireplace, presitine in every way.... and THE VIEW!!! And the quiet!!! We cooked a good bit, just for fun. There is an amazing food market just a few minutes away (which was a highlight of our stay), Little Farmers Market. Staying at Geirthrudur's is a must!!!

The place was nice and big. It was one of the few places in Iceland that had four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Lots of space to spread out and relax. Great view from the house. Easy to find, and off-street parking. Lots of room for the money. Just be aware that the house looked like someone was living there. By that I mean there were clothe in the closet, shoes in the entry way, and food in the refrigerator and freezer. It wasn't an issue for us, but some people don't like that. I would definitely rent from her again.

We had a great time exploring local attractions and watching Northern Lights from the house. Sigrun was very helpful and a great host. The pool table, darts, and ping pong kept us entertained when it was too chilly to venture outside.

Wonderfully proactive communication made for an easy self-check in. House was spacious and charming. All the listed amenities were available, though we didn’t stay long enough to use all of them. Try the local restaurants — especially the bistro— they’re amazing!

Lovely place in amazing surroundings. Really special place to relax, and incredible views. One of the favourite airbnb stays. They have made this house a lovely space off the main track. If you come in the winter do bring a 4x4 as it’s at the top of an incline.

excellent location on the golden circle. we stayed there one night and really appreciated the clean space with lots of attention to small details. would definitely come back

Jon’s place was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing! – It was very private and we very much enjoyed our stay in this cosy little cabin. Very well located in the middle of the Golden Circle with a fantastic view of the nearby mountain. It was the perfect location to explore Iceland's beautiful nature - All major attractions of the Golden Circle are reachable within 1 hour drive and with a slightly longer drive you can easily see much of the south. It felt like home from home after a long day of exploring and we loved watching the sun go down over the mountain from the deck. We were also very lucky to have a fabulous display of the northern lights at the end of April! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us for our first trip to Iceland!

Was a great stay! Our host was super responsive and very helpful. Beds were very comfortable and had plenty of blankets! The cottage was out of the way, which was exactly what we were looking for! It wasn’t too far away from town, maybe a 30 minute drive.

this rental was so perfect it was hard to leave to go out and explore because we just wanted to be here! it was close to a lot of attractions, and not far from the airport. next time i would stay for longer because it was such a peaceful and beautiful place to just relax.

What a beautiful cabin! Spacious and well appointed in a gorgeous woodland setting. Jón was always responsive and even arranged help for us when we got stuck - our fault, the driveway is on a slope and a 2wd car cannot cope when it’s snowy and icy. We found out the hard way and got stuck! Jón was so helpful though and despite our somewhat adventurous arrival we had a wonderful stay. Glorious auroras viewed from the fabulous hot tub were the icing on the cake! Highly recommended.

This was one of our most memorable AirBnb stays. Hjalmar’s cabin is beautiful, tranquil, and within walking distance of the lake. This cabin was great for our family of four young children, who loved the two trampolines and walking down to the lake. I’m not sure we have ever seen a host as responsive as Hjalmar - we had two questions about climate control in the cabin and the entrance gate, and he responded within a minute both times. This is a must visit if you are looking for a centrally located cabin along the golden circle and have children. We hope to return someday.

We stayed for one week and loved it every day. The cabin has everything you need and the Jaccuzzi is a real bonus. Stock up your groceries in Reykjavik or Keflavik when you come via airplane. There are some really good restaurants within 20-30 min drive (we recommend Farmers Bistro in Fludir if you love mushrooms). Communication was really easy.

We had such an amazing time at the cabin. Once in a lifetime stay, would highly recommend. Beautiful setting, very warm interior, amazing decor, all the amenities you'd need, and so close to lots of attractions.

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!
