Skorradalshreppur: soggiorni in baite

Such a fabulous cabin in a stunning location. We enjoyed our stay immensely and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The hot tub was a bonus. We used it several times during our four nights stay. The cabin was spotlessly clean had every amenity to make us more than comfortable throughout our stay, the hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful. Such a wonderful place, we really didn’t want to leave. Make sure you stock up on groceries when you pass a supermarket (as the nearest one open during our stay was a 25 minute drive) and you won’t want for a thing. We forgot to purchase some sugar for our hot drinks, so Matthias, one of the hosts, called round within a couple of hours with a bag of sugar cubes for us. Amazing service! The horses in the adjoining field were a delight to watch and kept my daughter entertained for hours. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

We had an incredible stay at this cabin! The views were absolutely stunning—like something out of a postcard. The host was super helpful and gave us some great local recommendations, including horseback riding at Laxnes Horse Farm and a visit to Hvammsvík Hot Springs, which was just a 30-minute drive away. We also went snorkeling at the Silfra Fissure, another unforgettable experience not too far from the cabin. The location is very peaceful and secluded, so we’d definitely recommend picking up groceries ahead of time and enjoying meals at the house. The hot tub was a huge highlight—perfect for soaking under the stars! A couple things to note: there isn’t a microwave, which would’ve been a helpful addition, and the hot water had that classic Icelandic sulfur smell, which took some getting used to. Still, this place was an easy 5/5. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Excellent little cabin! It’s really nice to find a well appointed place in Iceland. Perfectly situated across the fjord from Hvammsvik. I’ve been traveling to Iceland for over 20 years, and a lot of places are just so-so. Not this one. Stocked fridge, espresso machine, lots of nice touches. Left me wanting for nothing. Selfishly, I should probably tell you all that it’s a terrible place and keep this one as my little secret, but that wouldn’t be fair to the host, who was most gracious. Excellent place, well done, and I will return.

We had a great stay at this location. It is about 30 min from Reykjavik which was not a problem for us at all. It is located in a super quiet area literally right next to a lake. We are a family of 4, so we used all three bedrooms which as great for us. It is not a large cabin, but we spent so little time at the cabin that it did not bother us at all. We used the Hot tub in the back yard every day and enjoyed the view over the lake and mountains. It is close to a number of hiking trails and waterfalls, and it was exactly what we had hoped for. The host is AMAZING, by far the most responsive host we have ever had, and offered super good information for trips, shopping etc. We ended our trip by watching the Northern Lights right from our back yard patio. I would recommend this to anyone looking for nature, hikes and amazing views.

Clean, comfy bed and warm. Was able to see the northern lights here. Worth the drive. Beautiful location.

Sehr gute und hochwertige Ausstattung der Küche. Man könnte richtig kochen und backen. Geschmackvolle Einrichtung, Bettwäsche und Handtücher haben uns überzeugt. Tolle Lage, wir konnten am 20.4. Polarlichter beobachten. Einzig die immer wieder auftretenden Geräusche, die wir auf Heizung- und Warmwasserbezug, zurückzuführen, waren störend.

Beautiful, cozy, and well-equipped, with stunning views and complete privacy. The location is perfect for a peaceful retreat, but in winter, a 4x4 is a must due to snowdrifts and challenging access. Despite that, everything about the stay was perfect, and we would highly recommend it!

Tumi was extremely helpful the entire experience, offering more than what was even offered on the listing. We seriously appreciate all the effort that was made to make our last day in Iceland as easy and stress free as possible. If I had to say one thing, it is that the location of this rental is a bit confusing to get to. Offering slightly better instructions would be extremely helpful, but overall was a perfect distance from the airport and offered everything needed for an affordable stay - plus a hot tub!

Very attractive and comfortable cabin in a beautiful area which feels entirely private despite being only an hour from Reykjavik. Great base for hiking or sightseeing. We had five days here and felt we only scratched the surface of what the area has to offer. Cabin is very well and thoughtfully equipped. Matthias was a great host and offered fantastic recommendations of things to do and see. No hesitation at all in recommending.

Two adults and one child vacationing in this valley of paradise not far from Reykjavik! The setup was ideal and we all felt right at home. It was so comfortable, warm and we loved the added bonus of the hot tub!! We had a car rental and did our own touring of the southwest including the golden circle of our own. Highly recommend this lovely cabin!!

Wir hatten eine so schöne Zeit in Haukurs Unterkunft. Die Hütte ist mit allem ausgestattet was man so braucht, sehr gemütlich und traumhaft ruhig gelegen mitten in der Natur. Der Blick auf den See, der Kamin und der Hot Tub waren unser Highlight. Perfekt um so richtig zu entspannen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

This is a lovely, cosy away from it all cottage. The drive along the whale fjord to get there is just stunning, one night we stopped the car to enjoy the northern lights. There are numerous lakes and waterfalls nearby too. The cottage is warm, cute & friendly, calming interior-the fire place adds to the feeling of relaxation, the two bedrooms are very comfortable. The couch/ fire/ view combination is fabulous. The host supplied plenty of linen, towels and other basics, very much appreciated considering how expensive Iceland is to visit.

We had a great time at the cabin! Actually, one of the highlights was our host Ylfa, who was always very helpful, provided a lot of very detailed information up front and reacted very quickly to all remaining questions we had - the communication was really a pleasure to us and on a level I have not experienced on Airbnb before. About the cabin: Our kids (3 and 6 years old) very much liked what they referred to as "the play cave", which is the upstairs sleeping loft. The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary things needed, far exceeding what would be minimal kitchen setup. Another highlight to us was the hot tub, which we used almost every day (despite wind and a bit of rain outside). The open view towards the west is very suitable to search for Northern Lights in the dark or just watch the stars. We mainly used the cabin as our homebase to different day tours around in western Iceland. In total, we really had a great time!

L’alloggio è veramente stupendo. Accogliente, ben arredato e completo di tutto. Ci è piaciuto così tanto che siamo rimasti più in casa di quello che avevamo programmato. Grazie anche a Sif che ci ha seguito tanto, molto gentile e flessibile negli orari. È stato un soggiorno meraviglioso. Grazie mille 🙏🏻

Fantastisk smukt og roligt sted. Kan varmt anbefale Guðbjörgs hyggelige lille hytte :)

The Mirror House is an absolute gem. Nestled in a serene, picturesque location, it offers an unparalleled sense of peace and tranquility. The architecture beautifully blends with the stunning natural surroundings, creating a perfect harmony of design and nature. The host truly goes above and beyond keeping the house in pristine condition, and providing thoughtful touches throughout. They are incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring everything runs smoothly during your stay. Whether you're seeking solitude or want to immerse yourself in Iceland's breathtaking landscapes, this place offers an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-managed retreat in one of the world’s most stunning settings.

We stayed here for a few days to rest after quite a busy week of camping and excursions. The cottage is lovely, peaceful and fully equipped for quiet, relaxing getaway. We loved the horseback riding that was offered on the property and enjoyed watching the Northern Lights!

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.

Wonderful lake house, very pretty and very cozy. Would highly reccomend

Wir waren sehr glücklich mit unserem kleinen Urlaub in Andreas sehr gemütlichen und sehr schönen Haus. Alles funktionierte einwandfrei und sie hatte dankenswerterweise alles Notwendige für die ersten zwei Tage bereitgestellt, so dass wir in Ruhe ankommen konnten. Wir haben Ruhe und Erholung gesucht und genossen. Das Haus lag für uns genau richtig, um Ausflüge in den Norden und nach Reykjavik zu machen, die unmittelbare Umgebung ist magisch schön, um viel Zeit draußen zu verbringen oder die Aussicht von der Terrasse oder dem Wohnzimmer zu genießen. Andrea war sehr nett und gut erreichbar. Wir werden uns immer an die schönen Tage erinnern und können das Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Man spürt, dass es mit Liebe errichtet und eingerichtet wurde und es fällt leicht, es mit Respekt zu behandeln.

Very very nice place. 30 minutes from Borganes, Arkanes and Hammsvik hot springs. It was amazing to watch aurora and clear sky from the jacuzzi and then warm up at the fire place inside. Thor responded quickly to any question and everything went smooth. Highly recommended and will definitely return back.
