Holiday houses in Brákarey

Sif & Robert are lovely thoughtful hosts. And their cabin is such a cozy perfect little escape in the beautiful Icelandic nature. Highly recommend if you're looking for peaceful break surrounded by epic nature with kind hosts.

We feel so fortunate to have spent 2 glorious nights at Halldor’s house with our 2 college-aged sons. The house design is exquisite: a perfect blend of simplicity, style, and sophistication but lacking in pretension. The house is designed with windows and glass doors looking out over the property. In every direction there are rolling fields and river views. We loved dunking in the river and racing up to the sauna. We also loved the outdoor shower. We lit a fire each night and cooked meals in the wonderful kitchen. The only downside to the house is that you never want to leave it! But we did enjoy going into town. The Settlement museum offered a very good intro to Iceland history. This was a perfect place for us to stay on our way to the West Fjords. I truly hope we come back and stay much longer next time. Thank you, Halldor, for creating such a beautiful home.

Amazing, secluded spot between the ocean and mountains. The cabin had everything we needed and was very homely. Host was lovely. I appreciate the fact Katrin acknowledged me when I informed her of arrival and departure which hasn't always been the case in the last couple of weeks of multiple air bnbs. Highly recommend.

Vignir has a wonderful cozy cabin. It is spacious has a very well equipped kitchen, a nice living room and the bed were very good. The location is also very nice, just some 10-15 minutes outside Borgarnes where you can get groceries and it’s an ideal location to explore west Iceland. It’s exactly as you can see on the pictures and description. Vignir is an excellent host. Communication went very smooth and he gave very clear instructions how to get to the cabin. Inside he prepared a booklet with simple instructions how things work in the cabin and lots of tips what to do and what to see in west Iceland. I can highly recommend!

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!

Overall we had a wonderful stay here. The views are gorgeous and we were lucky enough to see northern lights! Only negative was trying to find the cabin was difficult BUT Borj was super responsive and friendly. We only stayed one night but would stay again.

Our stay at this Heathland Lodge was, without a shadow of a doubt, an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of privacy and serenity that is truly rare. The lodge itself is a masterpiece of wonderful Scandinavian minimalist design, where every detail, every texture, and every carefully chosen furnishing whispers (no, screams!) understated luxury. It's clear that immense thought and care have gone into creating a space that is not just beautiful to behold, but incredibly comfortable and restorative to inhabit. The location is simply breathtaking, offering amazing and uninterrupted views of the surrounding lava field. Waking up to such a unique and dramatic landscape was a daily highlight, a constant reminder of Iceland's raw, natural beauty. It felt like our own private sanctuary, a small slice of luxury carved into the wild. For us, as avi

Laxfoss is extraordinary. Perched over a waterfall, looking down into the river and into the distance where snow capped mountains rise into the sky you are immersed in nature. This was our second visit this year so we obviously love it. It is accurately described in the listing and the house is well equipped. The owners are delightful. We look forward to coming back.
