Cabin vacation 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.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dem süßen Cottage und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Man konnte super abschalten und unwahrscheinlich viel in der Gegend unternehmen. Wir können das Cottage auf jedenfall empfehlen 😊😊😊 Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt, Dankeschön!

Questo chalet è meraviglioso in tutti i sensi, una delle soluzioni più belle degli ultimi 10 con Airbnb! La casa è bella, semplice ma molto curata, con tutto quello che serve per cucinare e pranzare. I letti sono comodi e caldi. La vasca idromassaggio all’esterno è fantastica: quando siamo arrivati alle 10 pm era perfettamente calda (38*C). Grazie davvero Jon per voler condividere questo gioiello!

Wir waren zu dritt und haben die schöne Lage der Unterkunft und den Whirpool genossen. Es ist perfekt um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten in Island zu entdecken. Selfoss ist ca 25 Minunten entfernt mit einem Bonus, einem Kronan, Tankstellen, Restaurants etc. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Es gab eine kleine Geschirrspülmaschine und vier Elektorherdplatten. Mikrowelle und Ofen haben wir nicht genutzt. Es gab zwei Schlafzimmer, das dritte Schlafzimmer war im Dachspitz offen zur darunter liegenden Küche. Man Gelang in das Zimmer über eine Raumsparleiter. Für Kinder gut geeignt da diese kleiner sind. Die Kommunikation mit SaraLind war sehr gut. Zum See sind es ca 5 bis 10 Minuten zu Fuß.

we hebben 3 heerlijke dagen gehad. wat een mooie en rustige locatie! Het huisje bestaat uit 2 woningen. Wat voor ons gezelschap erg handig was. het meer is dichtbij, helaas geen vissen gevangen maar het uitzicht is fantastisch. De bedden liggen heerlijk. De woning is netjes en schoon. kortom een aanrader!

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!

Everything was great and the cabin is gorgeous, location is perfect for golden circle trip, minor miscommunication during check-in which was resolved very quickly

In dit huisje is het gelijk gezellig. Alles is aanwezig. Het uitzicht is fantastisch, gedeeltelijk over het meer. De leefruimte groot maar toch knus door de indeling en veranda rondom het huis. Lekker warm en overzichtelijk. De bedden zijn top, niet te zacht. Enige waar we mee worstelden is dat alle instructies/aanwijzingen alleen in het IJslands beschreven staan. De host gaf al aan te zorgen voor engelstalige uitleg voor toekomstige bezoekers. En de douche cabine is klein, zelfs voor ons met een slank postuur.

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.

Wir waren eine Woche in der Unterkunft. Traumhafte Lage und sehr gemütlich. Es war alles wie beschrieben. Ich kann einen Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft von Jon Thor wirklich empfehlen.

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.

Wir hatten eine so schöne Zeit in Haukurs Unterkunft. Die Hütte ist mit allem ausgestattet was man so braucht, sehr gemütlich und traumhaft ruhig gelegen mitten in der Natur. Der Blick auf den See, der Kamin und der Hot Tub waren unser Highlight. Perfekt um so richtig zu entspannen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

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

Words cannot fully express what a wonderful time we had at Ragga’s cabin. The location absolutely cannot be beat. Close to Reykjavik and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, lakeside with a sauna and hot tub overlooking an incredible view. Every morning we started our day with an espresso in the sauna and a soak in the tub, then headed out on an adventure. Also very close to the Hvammsvik hot springs which were nothing short of magical. Thank you for providing a perfect home base for a wonderful trip, Ragga and family!

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.
