Rangárþing ytra : locations de vacances dans des cottages

We loved the house! Everything was clean and all the necessities were available. The host was attentive and quick to respond. The jacuzzi was amazing, especially now in the winter. We even got to see the Northern Lights from outside the window. Would recommend it 10/10!

The place was just as described and Atli was very responsive to any questions I had. Would definitely recommend this place!

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!

We absolutely loved staying here! It was easy to get to in winter with 4WD and was a lovely location to watch the northern lights (there is not much light pollution). We visited in February and watched the lights from the hot tub multiple nights in a row. It is also the perfect location to visit the three 3 major attractions on the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss) as well as other Golden Circle destinations. They are all within a 10-30 minute drive. The house was clean, warm, and inviting. The welcome book and “leaving Uthlið” book was very detailed and well thought-out. Everything in the house was in its place as the notebook and instructions stated. Palmi and Vala were very responsive and had great recommendations. 10/10 Highly recommend!

This is a place I could’ve stayed at for a long time. A fantastically stocked kitchen and spacious living area. It comes across much larger than advertise. The best part of the place is its peaceful serenity, and its wonderful view. Good central location for doing day trips to check out many great locations that South Iceland provides. Would definitely stay here again, and again and again and again. 😊

This was our favourite stay in Iceland! It was beautifully nestled in the snowy mountains. The facilities were great, and the hot tub out in the snow was incredible! Would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful surroundings! Very private and lots of horses to see. Plenty of room as well

lieu de séjour atypique mais très sympa 2 cabanes dont une est idéale pour les grands enfants jacuzzi facile d'utilisation la vue est superbe (sauf la lumière des serres de tomates) lieu calme et un vrai Airbnb qui sert à son propriétaire (rare)

This cottage is a dream vacation place. Ingibjorg is very friendly, helpful & communicative, and everything inside the cottage was pristine, well organized & very stylish. The outdoor amenities of the hot tub, sauna, glass patio house, and her very friendly horses in the adjacent field really made the place a one-of-a-kind 5-star stay. With a location that is very private in the rugged countryside only an hour and a half from Reykavik, it is ideally situated as a central hub for only an hour's drive to many main attractions in southern Iceland like Geysir, Gullfoss, Secret Lagoon to the north, and Seljalandsfoss, Solheimajokull and the Reynisfjara black sand beach to the south. It was a perfect stay for a wonderful trip! Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Iceland.

Nice, private place. Clean and homy.

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!!!! 😁

Stefan was great host, helped us as much as he could with recommendations and provided clear instructions on how to reach out his place and use it best way as possible-we truly appreciate and recommend!

Bon séjour dans cette cabane dans la neige

We loved our stay! Hadda gave very clear instructions and information about the house, and she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The home was just like we imagined, very cozy with lots of personal touches. We felt like we were staying at a friend's or with family. The surrounding area is beautiful, and in particularly we enjoyed watching the sunset from the comfy couch and the northern lights from the very warm hot tub :)

We came to Iceland for Northern Lights. This is a rustic cabin on the farm perfect for seeing Northern Lights at night…at the comfort of the cabin. Sveinn is hospitable and a responsive communicator. The cabin is remote, away from city light pollution, but a few restaurants and a grocery store are about a 5 minute drive in this small town. For 3 consecutive nights, we saw Northern Lights on the back porch with wine, dessert and hot chocolate without having driving to somewhere else. It is cold and windy in south Iceland. But staying at this cabin, you can get inside to warm up…then go back outside to enjoy Northern Lights in the sky. Would return again.

A great location to use as a base to explore everything the beautiful Icelandic country has to offer. We stayed for 6 days after Christmas 2024, the cabin was cosy warm, the beds super comfy and had everything we needed. The kids loved the snow.

This place was the exact little get away we needed! Booked last minute to get out of town and they were very responsive and helpful!

Amazing house! We watched the northern lights sitting right in the hot tub. It was unforgettable. The house is very cozy and clean, it has everything you need, the kitchen is equipped with everything! The fireplace also plays an important role, we enjoyed it after a long day on the road. Also thank you for the karaoke, we had a lot of fun. This was the best house for New Year celebration , my friends and I are very grateful to you!

This place is a slice of Goth Heaven. Isolated, dramatic and beautiful! You will need a 4x4 to get here in winter - the ice on the road is no joke - but it's completely worth it. If you're considering it, just do it!!

Eine wunderschöne, ruhig gelegene Hütte. Die Ausstattung ist perfekt. Das Bad ist klasse, inkl. Regendusche und Fußbodenheizung. Alles ist sauber, aufgeräumt und in Schuss gehalten. Andres stellt sogar ein paar Lebensmittel zur Verfügung (in unserem Fall Eier, Käse, Toast, Saft, Butter). Der Badezuber auf den Bildern ist leider nicht mehr verfügbar gewesen. Top Empfehlung!

Maja hat uns bei der Ankunft sehr freundlich und sympathisch begrüßt und viele Tipps gegeben. Wir haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft eignet sich prima als Basis um die Südküste mit Tagestouren zu erkunden. Aufgrund der Abgeschiedenheit des Hauses hat man hier außerdem sehr gute Bedingungen um Polarlichter zu sehen (sofern gerade Saison ist). Wir hatten tatsächlich auch das Glück 😉 Insgesamt waren wir im März eine Woche in der Unterkunft und haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Von unserer Seite also eine absolute Empfehlung!

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und funktionell eingerichtet. Trotz Schnee haben wir ein paar Runden Disc Golf im Garten gespielt, das hat viel Spaß gemacht. Marianna ist individuell auf uns eingegangen und konnte uns sogar einen etwas früheren Check In ermöglichen. Wir haben uns sofort wie Zuhause gefühlt! Im Sommer, wenn es etwas wärmer ist, ist die Unterkunft sicherlich nochmal besser!

Our one-night stay in a secluded cottage near Hella was a delightful surprise, while offering a peaceful retreat. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations, feeling warm and welcoming. It was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, including a washer/dryer combo and a towel warmer in the bathroom, which were especially appreciated. Waking up to the sight of horses grazing outside our window, just as pictured online, was a charming highlight. It truly added to the serene atmosphere. Our only regret was not booking a longer stay to fully enjoy the cozy cottage and its tranquil surroundings. A helpful tip for future guests: plan your meals in advance! We found that restaurants and shops in the area tend to close around 7 PM. To avoid any late-night hunger pangs, we suggest eating beforehand or stocking up on groceries, as we did. Thankfully, the cottage was well-equipped for preparing dinner, and the provided Nespresso was the perfect way to cap off the evening.

The lodge we stayed in was perfect for a couple. Plenty of space yet not too big. Bed was incredibly comfortable. To say the location is peaceful is a vast understatement. Silence. Perfect for our wee weekend away. Thank you Hulda
