Cottage vacation rentals in Hvalfjörður

It is the great place for family, you can see the aurora at night and enjoy the day with hot stub outside the cabin. Highly recommend this place.

Secluded enough for privacy and peace but close enough to markets and restaurants. We really enjoyed star gazing from the hot tub. There was no light pollution so we saw hundreds of stars. The cabin is super cozy and so cute.

Our family voted this the best of all that we stayed at in Iceland. Beautiful place. Much bigger than any other location we stayed. Most receptive host! We will stay here again.

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!

It was incredible to have so much space on our trip. The kitchen was well appointed and we were able to cook our own meals without issue. The hot tub was a great bonus! My only gripes were the tight bathroom, non functioning TV, and no ice cube tray (minor, I know). Overall would highly recommend!

Warm, cozy country style, home in the south of iceland. Hotub was great, and the kitchen had everything you would need to make a great meal. And we saw the northern lights every night of our stay in April.

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!

Beautiful, sheltered cabin - just what we needed for a family trip.

Our stay was perfect. The cabin was great and exactly as shown in the pictures. The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances for a small kitchen. Eggert was quick to respond and check-in was easy and smooth. Great overall experience and would definitely recommend this place.

Cabin was great. Clean, nice, well stocked. We enjoyed our stay. The only real improvement would be exterior lighting. There are no exterior lights, so it was hard to find after dark.

Terrific stay. Recommended!

Maria's cabin is out of the way on a small lake. The scenery is beautiful. The cabin had all the necessities and comfortable beds. One bedroom was on the small side, but the main bedroom was large. The only issue was a difference in how America and Icelandic people make their number 1's. I thought the Wi-Fi code had a 7 in it but it was a 1. After I figured that out, the Wi-Fi worked great. :-)

Enjoy your stay in this cabin in the snow

We had a wonderful time staying in Helga’s cottage. Extremely peaceful and secluded oasis - great to see northern lights and enjoy nature. Day trips to the Golden Circle and Vik were easy successible. Highly recommended!!!

We came to Iceland for Northern Lights. This is a rustic cabin on the farm perfect for seeing Northern Lights at night…at the comfort of the cabin. Sveinn is hospitable and a responsive communicator. The cabin is remote, away from city light pollution, but a few restaurants and a grocery store are about a 5 minute drive in this small town. For 3 consecutive nights, we saw Northern Lights on the back porch with wine, dessert and hot chocolate without having driving to somewhere else. It is cold and windy in south Iceland. But staying at this cabin, you can get inside to warm up…then go back outside to enjoy Northern Lights in the sky. Would return again.

This stay completely exceeded our expectations- it was beautiful, cozy, and truly a magical stay in Hella. We loved flipping through the guestbook and reading about everyone’s wonderful experiences here, us and plenty before us had the privilege of seeing the northern lights from the balcony of the cottage :) 10/10

Cozy peaceful place with a horse farm next to the house. It is perfectly fit with my family group of 8 adults plus 1 child. The house is clean and tidy. The kitchen is fully equipped with all we need for cookings. The host is helpful and super friendly with prompt responses to our questions. He even comes visiting in-person to help us on BBQ set up. We had a great stay!

This place is a slice of Goth Heaven. Isolated, dramatic and beautiful! You will need a 4x4 to get here in winter - the ice on the road is no joke - but it's completely worth it. If you're considering it, just do it!!

This is a place I could’ve stayed at for a long time. A fantastically stocked kitchen and spacious living area. It comes across much larger than advertise. The best part of the place is its peaceful serenity, and its wonderful view. Good central location for doing day trips to check out many great locations that South Iceland provides. Would definitely stay here again, and again and again and again. 😊

Had a fantastic stay at Gunnar's cottage. Everything we needed was at hand in the cottage. It was warm and cozy and and perfect for relaxing in the evening. We used the hot tub a couple of times and it was great. Managed to see the northern lights during our stay and it's a perfect location for seeing them and travelling around the Golden circle. Would definitely stay again.

super quietly located on a lake. From there you can reach some great attractions by rental car. Feel free to come back anytime! A note on the side, the kitchen is rudimentally equipped ( without stove) but with barbecue in the garden. super comfy, super cozy...

Really beautiful cabin in a perfect location. Good point to travel around the south from. Clean, very spacious and well laid out. Much bigger than I expected. Really good quality furniture and fittings. Lovely and warm at the end of a busy day exploring. Managed to watch a brilliant show of the northern lights from the decking. Would highly recommend.

I'm very pleased with my stay here. The house is exceptionally clean and comfortable—highly recommended! However, I would advise against checking in after dark, as it can be more difficult to locate the property.

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.
