Cabin holiday rentals in Hvalfjörður

The cabin was only about 15 minutes from Reykjavík and 45 from Keflavík airport. With the directions we were given, we found it easily and check-in was a breeze! The views from the cabin were spectacular, and the large windows made us feel surrounded by nature in the best way! Having the hot tub accessible was so nice, especially after long days of chilly outdoor activity. Great experience!

We booked the hut for the private geothermal hot tub and although it takes 1-2 hours to fill it was absolutely amazing! We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet, there is nothing else than a nice view and smell of pine with the sound of some birds around.

Wonderful stay at Brynja’s place!! Great location, very quiet, and private. The sauna and hot tub were great as well… Got very lucky and was able to see the aurora clearly too!!

Really comfortable cabin in an exceptional location with fantastic view. If you enjoy Scandinavian style comfort and solitude in a scenic lakeside setting then this is the place. Everything was as described, very easy to find with the precise satnav directions from the hosts. The sauna, hot tub and decking chairs overlooking the lake are a real plus. Ivar was a responsive host. Nearest town for shops and restaurants is approx 25 min drive. Be aware that the wooden steps leading down to the cabin from the parking place are quite steep and with no handrail.

Very nice and cozy cabin. Conveniently located if you’re looking to explore the southwestern island by vehicle. ~5min drive to the town of Selfoss for groceries and supplies. The hot tub is a nice addition. A private room for each of two couples and a loft that slept our two kids. Worked nicely for our family.

Very beautiful cottage, we could stay so relaxing and cozy mood. Especially warm waterspring bath of outside, it was so nice to relieve fatigue. I really recommend this cottage to other people.

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!

Beautiful spacious accommodation with hotpot😁

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.

This place was peaceful, gorgeous, and exactly what I was looking for. The view was amazing, centrally located near both the golden circle and restaurants and amenities in selfoss. Sigrun and Sigurdur were wonderful hosts. The little stream chuckling beside the place was lovely. I would stay here again.

We felt very comfortable in this sweet vacation home. The house was furnished with great attention to detail and had a beautifully large terrace for the children to romp around, including a trampoline and zip line. From there, we could easily reach many excursion destinations. Thank you for letting us enjoy such a pleasant stay with you.

If you’re looking for a quiet getaway that’s also close to attractions around the golden circle (1 hour or even less for Kerid crater) and south coast (1-2 hours depending on where you are going), this is the place. Steinunn’s cabin is up on her family farm property, and it was restful and gorgeous. The only downside is that we only had a few days there - if we had more time we certainly would have explored more of the farm and area around.

Such a beautiful setting and comfortable stay. I wouldn't change a thing about this place! There are four waterfalls within an hours drive of this place that you don't need to hike to in order to view (highly recommend all of them). If you plan on doing any outdoor activities that require towels, I'd recommend picking some up at the nearby convenience store (about 15min away) as there are only two. Also, the kitchen already had some cooking oil and spices, which was a nice surprise :)

Of course! Here’s a shorter version: ⸻ A Truly Special Stay Staying at Johanna’s place was the highlight of our trip to Iceland. Knowing it was built by her father made it feel incredibly personal and meaningful—there’s a warmth and charm in every detail. Johanna was a fantastic host: kind, responsive, and always ready with thoughtful recommendations that made our visit even more memorable. The location is peaceful and perfectly situated for exploring. We left feeling connected not just to Iceland, but to the story behind this beautiful home. Absolutely unforgettable!

Marteinn welcomed us in his lovely house. It was clean and comfortable and there were lots of birds around the house. He was very quick in responding and we felt right at home. Thank you!

Loved this place - beautiful location amongst the trees on the river and only two minutes drive to town. Spotlessly clean. Would have loved to stay longer.

Cabin was cute, cozy, and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Close to Golden Circle attractions and great restaurants in downtown Selfoss yet very peaceful and private. Wish we had more time to enjoy the outdoor space. Host was very responsive and friendly.

Wonderful stay! Spotlessly clean and cozy with breathtaking surrounding scenery. Friendly and helpful host. Would gladly return!

Quaint little cabin in a great location for a very reasonable price. The host was very quick to respond and helpful with any questions I had. The host was very friendly and gave us some itineraries we could follow which were very helpful. Overall, it was a great experience!

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.

Such a wonderful place, so cozy and comfortable. Would stay here again 100% and recommend to couples traveling in the area. Ari was very intentional with the design and amenities and it was everything we hoped it would be.

You can’t go wrong staying here! Beautiful location and easily driveable to Reykjavík. Lots of animals around too, which we loved.

Spacious and clean cottage with great views and private hot tub. Gladly again!

We had an amazing stay! Viktor’s home had everything we needed for a family of 5. Many bedrooms and two bathrooms were a plus! Private in a gated community, but an easy and scenic drive to all the sights. A perfect experience for our first time in Iceland!
