Blockhütten als Ferienunterkünfte in Island

leuk huisje met prachtig uitzicht

This was the perfect place for our group of two moms and two teen daughters. It was within an hour of Reykjavik and key Golden Circle sites, and was easy access to Highway 1 that took us to the Southern part of the country to experience its dramatic features (our favorite part). Nearby Sellfoss offered the cheapest gas we found and lower prices at grocery stores than in Reykjavik. We had amazing views of the Northern Lights every night we stayed up late enough to see them due to the wide open views from the cabin and relative low light in the valley. The hosts were AMAZING, offering tips, keeping us informed about the area, and even dropping us a quick note when they'd heard through local reports that there would be a particularly great aurora display that night. We also loved the relative privacy and open space around the cabin. I almost hesitate to go on as we plan to return one day and I hope the place isn't booked solid!

We had a wonderful holiday at Sara's house. The house is warm, cosy and spacious, and the view and surroundings are spectacular. Sara was very communicative and helpful throughout.

We’re so pleased that we decided to spend a night outside the city. This property was warm, cozy and exactly as we’d hoped. Great communications from our host. I’d highly recommend.

Highly recommend this place. You can take a rest after long trip or escape from the city in peace and quiet place! There is everything what you need to spend the best time. The owners are amazing people friendly, nice, and they take good care of this house. This makes this place so unique. We gonna back there again for sure :)

The cabin was really cosy and we felt right at home. It was nice and peaceful and the hot tub hit the spot for relaxation. Loved it!

Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen, jedoch mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Die Schotterpiste macht Spass mit einem 4x4. Die Aussicht auf Akureyri ist wunderschön und an 2 Abenden konnten wir Nordlichter sehen. Die Unterkunft ist angenehm und ideal zum Energie tanken für die nächsten Abenteuer. Die Forest Lagoon mit ihren schönen Pools und Finnischer Sauna ist weniger als 10 Minuten per Auto entfernt.

nous avons passé un excellent moment, cadre superbe, logement parfait, merci beaucoup

Elín’s “house of happiness” is nothing short of a dream come true! My husband and I loved every single second at this incredible secluded cabin outside of Selfoss and already dreaming of our next trip back. Elín is a warm and accommodating host, you won’t find a lovelier and more thoughtful host out there. And don’t get us started on the outdoor shower! It has the perfect temperature and pressure! Do not hesitate to book this stay. You’ll be so happy you did it! Thank you, Elín for your hospitality! We’ll be back!

Great location with so much to do within driving distance. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The cabin was so cozy and calm with beautiful surroundings. We saw the northern lights, the glow of a volcano and the children had a lot of fun on the zip line.

Waren nun zum zweiten Mal in der Unterkunft. Schön ruhig und abgelegen und dennoch sind Selfoss und oder touristische Ziele schnell zu erreichen. Selfoss und der Krater Kerið in ca 15 Minuten und der Nationalpark Þingvellir in 40 Minuten. Ideale Ferienwohnung für 2 Personen die im Urlaub abschalten wollen. Auch der Kontakt mit Steinunn ist schnell und unkompliziert. Nächster Urlaub ist schon in der Planung.

Die Unterkunft ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Super schönes kleines Häuschen mit allen benötigten Sachen. Die Gegend ist perfekt für Leute, die Ruhe suchen und eine schöne Aussicht genießen möchten. Wir wünschten, dass wir länger dort geblieben wären.

Appartamento completo di tutto, posizione molto tranquilla. Lukas é stato molto chiaro nel fornire le indicazioni per raggiungere l'appartamento. Se usate la lavatrice sentirete un po' di vibrazioni al momento della centrifuga. Grazie

We really enjoyed our stay here in this one of a kind, unique accommodation! The cabin had what we needed for our stay and we were able to rest easily. We had clear skies both night and saw amazing northern lights from our window and just outside. Amazing!!!

Wat een heerlijke plek! De cabin was knus en stijlvol ingericht, met oog voor detail en een gezellige sfeer waar je je meteen thuis voelt. Het uitzicht was simpelweg adembenemend. De ligging is ideaal voor wie de natuur wil intrekken: van watervallen tot zwarte stranden en andere IJslandse toppers, alles ligt op rijafstand. Maar dé absolute highlight voor ons was de gletsjerwandeling – wat een unieke ervaring! Iets wat we niet snel zullen vergeten. Een plek die we met veel mooie herinneringen achterlaten – en waar we met plezier nog eens naar terugkeren!

Kind and friendly hosts in a superb and unique setting to explore the south coast of Iceland! There is plenty of privacy and space in a nicely decorated and incredible well equipped cabin. Everything is as great as you think it is going to be, if not better. The cabin represents stunning value and my only wish is that I had stayed longer! Thank you Pall and Birna.

Diese Unterkunft ist traumhaft und idyllisch, mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet und sehr bequem. Nach einem langen Fahrt von Akureyri nach Süden wir sind einfach in einem Paradies gelandet-so hat auf uns die Unterkunft gewirkt! Versteckt zwischen Bäumen und viel Blumen , wunderschön ausgestattet und mit eine großartige Terrasse vorne ! Wir werden diese drei Nächte lange in Gedanken behalten! Eidur ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und hat sofort geantwortet und ein paar gute Hinweise gegeben was wir noch sehen können. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können nur dankbar sein und weiter empfehlen! Wirklich ein Paradies!

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 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!

Hier bekommt man das wie es beschrieben wurde. Für 2 Personen perfekt, für 3 Erwachsene auch noch gut möglich. Straßenverkehr sehr gering. Der benachbarte See ist nicht so einfach zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich.

The location and views were breathtaking. Sadly the day we arrived we couldn't see the glacier or surrounding mountains due to cloudcover but when we were leaving, we saw just how beautiful the area was. The hot tub was a nice plus and the host was always responsive and super gracious about giving us an early check-in to accommodate our desire to drive earlier before the big snow and windstorm hit. The location was super close to many sites (crater, cliffs, hot springs) and also a great point to visit the Snaefellsnes Peninsula from. In our case, the winds of 40m/s combined with horizontal snow was too treacherous to make the drive in (and we couldn't see any of the sights due to no visibility) so we hung out in the hot tub and took it easy while a the cabin. There were board games that helped for the downtime!

Beautiful cosy cabin in the snow. Great view of the northern lights on a clear night! A really great location to explore Húsavík and Mývatn as well. Thank you!

The place is located well if you're heading up the east coast - good proximity to the town, and a good location for a night or two stopover. The location just off the main road was nice and easy to get to, and the place was super clean and comfortable. Nice views from all around as well.

Heel leuk en knus huisje in een mooie omgeving! Heel sfeervol ingericht. Afgelegen en privé en we hebben 2x het Noorderlicht kunnen bewonderen! Ook genoten van het uitzicht op een kudde paarden in de verte. Het was wel aan de frisse kant in het huisje toen de temperatuur rond het vriespunt zat. Uiteindelijk hebben we dag en nacht het elektrische kacheltje vol aan gehad, toen ging het beter.
