Cottage vacation rentals in Bláskógabyggð

If you are looking for your own private oasis in the golden circle, look no further. Gorgeous surroundings, and not a neighbor in site. Just you and horses. Very close to the amazing Friðheimar restaurant. Hosts were very receptive and extremely helpful. It is not a luxury rental, but the landscape, location, and serenity of the place makes it a worthwhile base camp. Would not hesitate to recommend it on your trip to iceland with a good sized party. There were nine of us, and there was plenty of space for us all.

Very good communication with the lovely and very understanding hosts, they very helpful Tipps for the area. The cottage is far out in the country and really quiet, we loved the hot tub and we felt like at home right from the beginning on. It’s located on the golden circle and a perfect point to explore. Very good equipped amenities. We were really lucky to see wonderful dancing northern lights from the cottage and a really 360* view from the field on the way there with an open view in the beautiful landscape. We would suggest to get a SUV and 4x4 to get there since this was the only problem we had to get there and away after the snow storm.

Beautiful little cottage in a fairly remote part of Iceland. We really enjoyed the scenery and the separation of the cottage from the hotel. You have all the options, completely separate from the hotel, all by yourself or you can also talk to the hotel staff and they will offer you breakfast and everything for a fair price. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay I can only recommend

Bjorn's place was in a wonderful location and just what our family of 5 needed. We ran into some logistical difficulties (mainly with our car) and Bjorn was very responsive and flexible to our plight. He responded to every email - often in minutes. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Excellently located for short drive to most key attractions within the golden circle. Very quiet and away from the main towns so perfect for seeing the northern lights. Spacious modern house with everything we need. Dóróthea and Baldur were perfect hosts and very responsive. We must come back here!

It was a nice little cottage that was close by several attractions. I would highly recommend staying here if you want the experience of camping while having running water and not sleeping outside.

The most beautiful stunning place we have stayed at! To have a river and waterfalls in the back of the house was magical! The house was perfect and we loved the decor! I can’t recommend Mehrejar stunning place enough! He was the best host! Will definitely stay there again! Linda

This cottage has a wonderful view of the lake. It was very comfortable for four adults and a toddler. We were at peace listening to nature and watching the lake. The host was very communicative and helpful. The location is very close to the Golden Circle's must-see locations. The closest town was an 8-minute drive and had great local restaurants. I highly recommend this stay.

Stunning view. A classic A-frame cabin. Soooo quiet and peaceful. Peaceful. Easy to walk to the restaurant and if you choose, walk to the little communities nearby, including farms and the local church. It's a cabin in the golden circle. Don't be a jerk. Appreciate. We are all lucky to experience this. And if you ask a question, Jake ANSWERS you almost immediately. But really... the porch overlooking the valley... and the AMAZING outdoor shower with hot water from the local geothermal station. SHUT UP if you don't appreciate how special this is. Therapeutic. Ahhhhhhhh. We stayed up late and saw the northern lights. Doesn't get better for peace and authentic. Thanks Jake!!!! 😁

Our stay was perfect. The cabin was great and exactly as shown in the pictures. The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances for a small kitchen. Eggert was quick to respond and check-in was easy and smooth. Great overall experience and would definitely recommend this place.

Our stay at the cottage was AB-SO-LU-TE heaven! The cottage is very conveniently located (just about a mile from Geysir Center and a mere 10 minute drive to Gullfoss waterfall). It boasts everything we could possibly wish for (O.K., we never switched on the huge T.V. set, but we used the Spotify/internet radio combo to listen to some music plus the internet connection seems to be pretty high speed!). The kitchen is extremely well equipped with every possible tool and machine (barista-style coffee machine, blender, waffle iron, water cooker, BBQ, toaster, etc.). The pictures here on AirBnB are very accurate to what one can expect at the cottage. Even though it was freezing cold and windy outside we got soaked in the nice jacuzzi outside and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The newly installed rain shower in the bathroom was also very cool - and for those who stay longer there is even a brand new washing machine available. The beds are out of this world. We all slept like babies. Too bad we could not take the mattresses back home ;-) Communication with Páll was very, very easy. He was always available (and he even inquired if everything is fine after the big snowstorm that hit Iceland during our stay), communicating with him was a pleasure. Plus: He was extremely easy-going, flexible and generous when it came to postponing our original reservation due to unforseeable circumstances. All in all: We would give Páll and the cottage 7 stars if that was possible! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your wonderful place! We'll be back!

Amazing Cottage! Thank you for the clean and beautiful home as well as the fast replies which made booking and staying in the home such a breeze! Amazing hot tub & grill as well. Definitely would recommend this home to people who’re visiting the area!

Very peaceful and homely cabin in beautiful surroundings. Svanna is very helpful and the cabin is well kept and cosy. Rural location - we were lucky enough to catch the northern lights 4 nights in a row! Would happily stay again, thank you ☺️

Over the top effort to make the home lovely, comfortable, and packed with every imaginable kitchen appliance, cooking utensil, pots & pans, and dinnerware, Netflix, Prime video and much more.

Amazing, very clean, very comfortable cabin with a fantastic hot tub situated in a secluded neighbourhood with great views. We loved our stay and can’t recommend it enough.

Private. We saw an awesome display of Northern Lights while soaking in the beautiful hot tub. It was magical.

Stunning location, so peaceful, had everything you needed, very responsive host. Great location for the National Park and snorkelling at Silfra, just 20 minutes drive. Stunning sunset our first night and incredibly comfortable bed. Highly recommend the cottage and host

Clean and secluded area 1 hour away from Vik! A great midpoint for travelers going to the glaciers and national park the next day! Would stay again!

We had a great time! Very functional and a lot of space. The jacuzzi outside was a nice plus. Perfect for a family with 2 kids like ours.

This is a lovely private cabin near the center of Laugarvatn. We had a little trouble finding it but when we called Edda and Karl they were very responsive and helpful. The hot tub is great and their sunroom is so cozy with wonderful views. Our sons loved the old Nintendo!!

Our stay here was perfect! The cabins are in a remote location which makes it extremely peaceful and we saw the northern lights on four of our seven day trip. The kitchen had everything we needed but there wasn’t a kettle but we got by with the boiling water in a pot. The water in Iceland has sulphur in it which makes it smell of egg and it was very strong at the cabin. It was fine to wash in and use day to day but would suggest getting bottled water for drinking. The hot tub was amazing the only thing to know is that it’s not like hot tubs in the uk so it doesn’t keep the water warm so you need to empty it and refill it to get it really warm. It was perfect for our trip of five adults. We will be posting a video of the Airbnb on our YouTube if you want to see it our username is ‘wheretonext’.

We had a great stay in this beautiful and spacious home. The jacuzzi was already warm when we arrived and we had a really relaxing stay. We definitely recommend this accommodation!

We really loved the house—it’s very cozy and warm! The best part was being able to enjoy the hot tub and barbecue in the evenings. The location is also great, just a 30-minute drive from the Golden Circle in Iceland. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely come back in the future!

Amazing location, great view and we loved the inground trampoline. Will visit again, great amenities
