Cabin vacation 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!

Birgir's cabin is very snug & warm -- festive with bright red lights -- everything in its nook -- and an amazing perch to see across the valley & short drive to the fjord. Our trip was at the end of December and most days/nights were snowy & with some rain -- very beautiful, but definitely take heed of Birgir's cautions about driving in such weather (which held true, even as we had rented a 4-wheel drive Jeep!) -- it is a steep hill up to the cabin, and we did get stuck on our 2nd to last day -- but fortunately the neighbors in the house down the way were incredibly helpful & we got the car out! We enjoyed exploring Akranes & Borganes. We also did see the northern lights on the one clear night -- beautiful to see the green shimmering curtain of light above the steppes/mountains across the valley. Birgir was both proactive and very responsive.

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.

The cabins sit on a road away from where reception is, and the instructions were clear to get there. The hot tub does take a while to fill up, since it is filled with geothermal spring water, but it is definitely a must in Iceland. Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of hiking and traveling the Golden Circle was a perfect ending.

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!!

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.

From the charming fireplace to the well-appointed kitchen, this cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay. ;)

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 a lot of love for detail and had a beautifully large terrace for the children to romp, including a trampoline and zip-line. From there, we could easily reach many excursion destinations. Thanks 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.

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.

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!

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. Glad to come back!

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.

This property offers the ultimate relaxation. When you come in, you feel right at home, welcomed and arrived. It is decorated with a lot of love and very cozy. You can make yourself comfortable by the fire after a long day or relax in the hot tub. We also let everything go and just enjoyed the accommodation. The view of nature, the chirping of the birds and the lightness we felt there. Hilmar was always available and quickly helped with tips for a small "off-road experience" 😄 (F roads were still closed). Glad to come back!

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!
