Vacation rentals in Þykkvabær

What a wonderful place and in the perfect location for exploring the Golden Circle. The house was plenty big for the eight adults in our group, and we were all able to spread out, but also come together for meals and games. Although we didn’t use it, the hot tub was a great amenity. Our host was wonderful and very responsive when I contacted her with a question before booking and also when I needed to turn off the security system. We would highly recommend staying here.

We make a family trip and it was the best place for stay those days! Peaceful environment, the house was super clean and completely prepared with everything! You just need go and relax. Lovely and cozy house :)

The cabin was thoughtfully decorated. Also, a private and peaceful place close to bigger town and outdoor attractions.

The location of this property couldn’t have been more perfect. Each day we were within an hours drive from major sights and activities including: thingvellir and silfra, gulfoss and geyser, Rejkavik, blue lagoon and seljalandsfoss. Selfoss is accessible and the geothermal park in hvererageroi was fab. The remoteness created the perfect conditions away from built up areas and we were thrilled to see the northern lights twice - viewing them from the hot tub made it feel even more special. House was tidy with everything we needed and just as described. Instructions to get there and responses from Gunhilder were excellent. We would thoroughly recommend this property for a self drive action packed Icelandic holiday.

Een fijn huis. Voelde als thuis. Gemakkelijke lokatie: dichtbij winkels en wegen op weg voor dagtochten. Een super host.

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!

A modern spacious house located in a quiet neighborhood with a lovely cat. Lina might be one of the friendliest cats we've ever encountered. We loved staying here with her! Hroar was always available and easy to communicate with. If you're looking for a beautiful house and aren't afraid of a sweet cat, this is your place to go!

Himri was the absolute perfect place to stay for me and my friends. We saw the Northern Lights directly above and in front of the house, loved being surrounded by mountains, and found the drive to other places in our itinerary incredibly easy. The house had everything we could possibly need for our stay, including kitchen basics and coffee. The hot tub and sauna were the perfect means of relaxing after a long day of hiking and exploring. Berglind's communication was swift, thorough, and friendly, and we even received notice directly of the evacuations that were happening to the south as a result of the volcanic eruption (we were completely safe, but the message from our host was greatly appreciated). I hope to return to Iceland in the future, and there is nowhere else I would choose to stay.
