Vacation rentals with lake access in Borgarbyggð

This spot was private and perfect for my family.

Wonderful stay. Ample space. Beautiful Northern Lights watched from the hot tub! Good driving to Snaefellsnes Peninsula and around Borgarnes. Close to Hraunafossar falls and Krauma for a geothermal soak! Nice stay

The house was beautiful, actually described, and with extra bonuses like the hot tub and easy access to the lake with amazing views (also from the house and deck). There were some quirks -- there were a couple of boards missing from the ceiling when we walked in, one of the bedroom doors is very difficult to open due to risen floor boards, and there was a constant small water flow in the master bath. Nonetheless, this house was an excellent place to stay, and in a perfect central location for visiting Snefellsnes, Langjokull/Reykholt region, or the golden circle. Borganes nearby (20 minutes) is a quaint small town with a museum (the settlement museum) worth visiting. Or just enjoy the the house and peaceful surrounds! We did have problems not getting check-in information, which was a problem. The gate to get cars in and out is annoying, especially for checking in or out when there is no opener and so you need to text the hosts (which cost us 20 minutes ).

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!

Really peaceful and in a stunning and private location. Loved our stay here

This is an amazing cabin for a nice and peaceful break. The view and surroundings are incredible! We went at the end of October and it got to -4C some nights, but the cabin is nice and cosy and warm - and the hot tub perfect for whatever time of the day you want to use it. Because there's no light pollution, the clear sky's were awesome, sat there looking for shooting stars! On our last night we experienced some spectacular Northern Lights - incredible!! The nearest town - Borgarnes - is a 25 minute drive away and has an awesome bakery. Also supermarkets and a local swimming pool. There is a very steep drive up to the cabin which we couldn't drive up in our Cat B hired car, so parked at the bottom and walked up (helped us work off the cakes we had from the bakery though!). Would highly recommend for a peaceful stay within pure countryside.

Amazing accommodation- the upstairs with 360 degree views is spectacular- particularly as we saw the northern lights! Beds very comfortable. Very clean. Nice to have good coffee in the kitchenette. We were lucky enough to meet some of the beautiful horses that live on the farm. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Iceland.

This place was a dream. Having stayed at dozens of AirBnBs in Iceland, this is in our top! It was tranquil and Elisabet and Rosa were communicative and it’s clear they take pride in their home. It was beautiful, and there were amenities that made traveling with an infant smooth and comfortable for us. There were so many thoughtful touches and it was squeaky clean. We saw the aurora two out of three nights which was nothing short of magical. It was the ideal stay in a beautiful place!

Gudny was an amazing, generous, and kind host. We felt immediately right at home and the home is well stocked with everything you could need as you adventure around Iceland. The location was excellent for our needs and it was quiet with beautiful views. The home was exactly as expected and the hot tub and outdoor shower were excellent! We would 100% stay again and highly recommend staying!!
