About this property

Stekkar - Cozy Cottage On The Golden Circle, Warm And Welcoming, Spa Facilities

Stekkar is a charming and fully equipped cottage with over 100 square meters of living space and an additional guest house with an additional 30 square meters of space.
The house has two beautiful bedrooms with double bed and - if necessary - an extra sofa bed. A spacious and cozy living room, as well as a kitchen make the vacation paradise perfect. The guest house, a separate chalet, offers another spacious bedroom, a Finnish sauna and a second fully equipped bathroom with a door leading directly to the hot tub on the terrace.
From the house you have a magnificent view over the beautiful and naturally grown flatland, as well as over the farmland further down with a beautiful view of the second largest glacier in Iceland, the "Langjökull". The geothermal underfloor heating provides comfortable temperatures day and night, both in summer and winter.
Stekkar offers very good access to all kinds of activities in the area: horseback riding, trout or salmon fishing, golfing, river rafting, mountain hiking and snowmobiling, not to mention the numerous hiking and geothermal swimming opportunities. In Reykjavik, which is just over an hour away, you have the opportunity to go whale watching and deep sea fishing - ideal for self-catering!

Incredible stay!

We had the most wonderful time at Stekkar Lodge. The photos really do not do it justice. The views are breathtaking! The lodge is very well appointed, and the hot tub is incredible. We loved having two separate spaces for the two families that were traveling together. Jon’s communication was flawless, and made everything a breeze. We would LOVE to stay here again.

Wonderful vacation home

The home was as described in the listing and the hosts were very easy to communicate with. Everything was very clean and comfortable and the location was ideal to get to many parks and sites.

Komfortables, großzügiges Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick

Der Kontakt mit Jon Baldur war ausgesprochen herzlich und wir haben immer sofort Antwort und viele Infos erhalten. Wir haben uns in Stekkar vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und geschmackvoll, mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, es gab reichlich Handtücher, sogar Bademäntel. In der Küche war von der Knoblauchpresse bis zum Waffeleisen alles vorhanden. Den Hot Tub haben wir jeden Tag ausgiebig genossen. WLAN hat auch super funktioniert. Wir fanden die Betten recht hart, ein Topper wäre zusätzlich schön. Ansonsten war alles perfekt. Was man noch wissen sollte: Das Haus steht in einer Ansiedlung auf einem Hügel mit einer ziemlich steilen Anfahrt. Im Winter schafft man das sicher nur mit 4x4. Dafür hat man eine wunderschöne Aussicht über das gesamte Tal. Absolute Empfehlung!

Absolutely spectacular property!

We loved our stay at Stekkar Lodge. We had more than enough room for 3 adults and 3 kids. We made the most of the location on the Golden Circle, with so many great sites nearby. We really enjoyed soaking in the hot tub at the end of long days sight-seeing. Jon was very responsive and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this property; it's even more breathtaking in-person!

Simply amazing

We spent a week at this beautiful property and we could not be happier to say that this was one of the best stays we ever had since we rent vacation properties! Stekkar is unbelievable. First of all the location: close to the little village of Fludir where we shopped daily at the local market, close to all the main locations you must see when you visit this part of Iceland and with a stunning view that fills up your soul with peace and harmony. Taking a bath in the tub outdoor while looking at the infinite green in front of you is priceless. Second, the house itself: Equipped with everything you need, even a.separate space for laundry with brand new washing and drying machines; large, warm and super cozy with a unique vibe and athmosphere; just stunning!!! The attention to details is spectacular, it shows how much the host cares about his guests and you feel immediately welcomed. The guest house just across the main house is a really helpful addition since it has another bathroom and a even a finnish sauna! And then, of course, there is our host Jon, kind and responsive, friendly and corteous. If you are travelling to this incredible part of the world don't miss the chance to stay here. 5 stars, all round! An extra tip: don't miss out the Fludir Tar....it is hard and exhausting to get up there but what you will find is an amazing view! Pasquale

About the host

Hosted by Jon Baldur Torbjornsson

Hooked on tourism, yet I studied automotive engineering in the University for Applied Sciences in Munich, Germany with the graduation Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Fahrzeugtechnik. After being technical director at the car inspection and type approval branch (MOT/TÜV) in Iceland for a few years I got more and more linked to the tourism, using my good knowledge in German, English and Swedish.
Tourist guide since 1983 and owner and operator of the tour agency Isafold Travel and the unique 4x4 rental Isak for 18 years.
Sold the whole business in 2015 to start up a new enterprise, Nordic Lodges. This company runs a few vacation rentals in various parts of Iceland, offering the concept "Roof 'n Route", which makes our lodges to "step stones" on your travel in Iceland.
Tourism and music are my hobbies, and that's where I'm now!

Why they chose this property

Our enchanting log-cottage Stekkar is somehow embracing the people staying there, comfortable, warm, well equipped and showing a good craftsmanship. Not to mention the fascinating view! I personally like it a lot to stay there, and I expect the same for you.

What makes this property unique

This log-house is nothing but a sheer beauty, inside and out. It also offers a combination of privacy and a good access to everything you need: Services, cultural events, activities and attractions, like the best known nature gems of Iceland, Geysir and Gullfoss. Far enough but yet so close.
