Family-friendly vacation rentals in Skagafjörður

We love Bjarni's house - it is wonderfully cozy and so we felt at home from the first minute. Especially great were the hot pot and sauna (which Bjarni had kindly prepared for us to warm us up after the whale watching). We will remember the conversations and connections with Bjarni and other nice guests. A great place - we would have liked to have stayed longer!

These hosts are the best ever 🇮🇸🫶🇮🇸

We loved staying in Daníels cabin! He is an incredible host, friendly and helpful and welcoming. We felt comfortable and welcome from the start and he provided us with anything we needed. The cabin itself was very warm, spacious and had everything we needed and more. There were beautiful big windows all throughout the place where we could gaze outside at the stars and northern lights. We also enjoyed the hot tub outside and the sauna, and the location was peaceful. The perfect getaway!

Easily one of the top 3 Airbnb’s I have ever stayed in. The location provides a breathtaking view of the valley, and dark skies provided spectacular auroras at night. The hot tub was a fantastic way to sit outside for hours despite the cold and watch the dancing lights in the sky. Meanwhile, the beds and couches were all very comfortable, the appliances and kitchen all functional and clean. I could honestly stay here for ever, and will certainly try my absolute best to come back.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in this lovely family home in such a beautiful setting. It was very clean and tidy and Jonas was the perfect host, always attentive to our messages. We would definitely stay here again.

Very special accomodation, nice craftmanship. Stunning view. You need an 4wd in Octobre - we had some snow..

Very nice area and super suitable for relaxing evenings to wind down!

The place is wonderfully quiet and also great to find with Linda's description. The place was clean and tidy. The only negative was that our “previous tenants” unfortunately did not wash the pots and pans very well and there was still a dried noodle and onion hanging here and there. Otherwise it was totally nice there and we will be happy to come back :)

We enjoyed our stay at your house, particularly the heated floors (ahhhhh, so nice!) and our horse ride. Thank you!

Everything was great! We wish we could spend more time in the house :) The host arranged a hair dryer even though it was raining - I felt bad because she had to walk down for us. Thank you so much!!

it was a shorter stay than expected as I'd had a long flight delay, but it was just what I needed after the long drive from Keflavík, peace and quiet and the aurora put on a show for me. couldn't get the WiFi connected, but wasn't an issue as I wasn't there long.

We really enjoyed our stay!

The cottage was small and quaint, but it was all my wife and I needed for one night! I don’t think I’d stay here for longer than one night. It is TINY inside, to the point we didn’t even bother taking our luggage inside. If I was in the area and needed a place to rest my head for the night, I’d stay again.

Our stay in Öxnadalur was one of the most impressive we’ve ever had. The house was charming and we felt immediately at home. The surrounding nature and view on the mountains is breathtaking! We spent hours sipping coffee at the fire place, while the wind and snow were howling outside or watching beautiful northern lights right in front of the door. Sif and Oli were always very helpful when we were asking for any help or recommendations. It is definitely worth a visit and a real adventure in winter times.

The place was very cozy and warm. In the kitchen there was everything you need. The view and tranquility are unique.
