Cabin holiday rentals in Sveitarfélagið Ölfus

We had a wonderful stay! Very cozy accommodation, exactly as pictured!

Loved this location. There was a ton a walking space and only 5 minute drive to restaurants. The only thing was the hot tub was not filled up and took about two and a half hours to fill up and get hot. Other than that, everything was perfect!

The cabin was just as described. The beds were all comfortable and the hot tub was great and though the road is close - you could not hear it with the windows closed. We had a little trouble finding the place - google & apple both took us to the wrong place - but our car’s nav found it. The only thing the cabin didn’t have that would have been nice is curtains. It was tough to sleep when you are not used to it being light out all night, but we survived. The location was great for exploring Reykjavík, the golden circle and south Iceland.

What a fantastic place for five adults to stay on a breathtaking vacation. Tons of space to lounge, eat big meals, and enjoy the hot tub and sauna. Every space fit all of us comfortably. Erlingur & Ingvar were extremely detailed and friendly in communications and it felt easy to reach out when we had a small issue with the cleanliness of the space. It could have used just an extra wipe down of dust and debris/sweep/once-over so that we could feel completely comfortable settling in, but they were very responsive and kind when it was mentioned to them. The views were spectacular from almost every window with the only exception being a bit of construction on the property. Would recommend this place and these hosts. Thanks for an unforgettable stay :)

amazing property with a hot tub and great for flying drones

An absolutely perfect stay. We booked all the cabins on the farm and had a lovely weekend. Our second visit and would definitely come again.

Oskar was the ultimate host. He responded to all of my queries promptly. His home fit our needs perfectly. Very clean, well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed his hot tub, and my 9-year-old grandson had a nice grassy area in front of the house to run around and play in.

The cabin it’s the most beautiful place I stay so far. It’s so cozy and peaceful. The hot tub, the nature… it’s amazing! It made me feel like at home. We made a barbecue, and enjoy the rest of the evening in the water. Listening to the birds. Was more than perfect for a get away near Reykjavik. And we wanna repeat the experience

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely cabin we saw the Northern lights from the hot tub. private and quiet Relatively close to Golden Circle attractions Selfoss and Hella.

Very well located accommodation (close to Route 1 and Selfoss) and in a pleasant setting! Functional and convenient Communication with Gudfinna is perfect. I would recommend it!

Mojca was a great host and the cabin was clean and comfortable! It’s about 30 minutes from selfoss but easy and beautiful drive. There is a gated entrance although the host was very fast to open and respond. It’s only for arrival and departure. I’d totally stay here again!

It was just great to stay there. Great host, great location. My family really enjoyed the stay 👍😀.

Lovely place! Perfect if you’ve rented a car and want to get out and see a lot of nature. Kitchen works fine for both cooking and baking. And the outdoor hot tub is great when spending a relaxing night in. All in all my best recommendations!

Great private location with a stunning view of the lake, and only a 15 minute drive from Reykjavik. It matched the description exactly and Sigga was a very responsive host!

We had a fantastic time at Straumnes cabins. The cabins are very peaceful, and in a beautiful setting on the lake. We were spending a couple of days doing the golden circle and South coast and the cabin was perfectly located for this. The communication was great, the cabin was well equipped with everything we needed, and lovely and warm. Many thanks to our host for a great stay. We would highly recommend the cabin for family's exploring the golden circle that want a peaceful stay in the countryside.

Cottages are cozy and comfortable, they offer all what's needed and a nice bonus: a private hot tub! It's also a perfect starting point to explore the Golden Circle.

A fantastic place to stay in a truly stunning location!
