Family Vacation with Parents

My husband and I came to Iceland with my parents for a family vacation. We rented Fensalir cabin for 4 nights and it was the perfect spot for us to have our own space while also spending quality time together. The house was very clean, the views were incredible, and the sauna and hot tub were an added bonus. We saw the northern lights one night when the skies were clear! We all said we would absolutely recommend Fensalir cabin to friends and family who plan to travel to Iceland in the future!

Perfect Cabin

The Cabin is perfect to relax and get in touch with the nature of Iceland. Wellness with Sauna and Whirlpool with a fantastic view. 2 hours by car from the airport, 1 hour drive to tourist spots like Geysir and waterfalls. We had a fantastic stay and lifetime experience.

Loved the place! Super great location and setup. I was disappointed not all the bed had sheets and they forgot to give us a crib. Owner was quick to fix it. The gate is annoying, but it is an all of Iceland thing

Nice stay

Really enjoyed the size, location and hot tub/sauna. Kitchen is well stocked. There is a gate to the community, so make sure you access the check in instructions as soon as they are available. We could not get the instructions open when we arrived at the gate, but there was an open construction road that allowed U.S. to get to the cabin. The cabin is in a little community, but is fairly private. There is a power station or something down the road that put off some light pollution. Overall, would recommend.

Family Celebration

The cabin was the perfect base to explore the southern part of Iceland. We were a family of 5 adults, the cabin gave us plenty of space. The location is remote, perfect for seeing the Northern Lights, but close to Selfoss and the Golden Circle sights. It was extremely well equipped with the bonus of the hot-tub and sauna. It is even better than the photos.

Exceptional house and location

The property was absolutely perfect for my group. We had great weather and viewed the northern lights 6 of 7 nights while at the property. Which was awesome saved me from driving to other locations yes the landscape did not change but the views were still amazing. I would absolutely stay here again if I return to Iceland. Yes it is a bit of a drive to Reykajavik but the location is great for touring the south coast, golden circle, and areas around the national park.

Cozy Comfort in the Heart of Iceland's Beauty

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and clean cabin, perfectly situated near many of Iceland's stunning natural attractions. The owner had thoughtfully prepared an excellent manual that answered all our questions, and he was always easy to reach and quick to respond to any requests. Even during a big storm, the house kept us warm and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our visit to Iceland!

Spectacular Vacation

The Fensalir Cabin was the perfect place for our "home base" As an adult family of 6, it had the right amount of together and alone space. The kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms and baths stocked. The hot tub and sauna were clean and comfortable after long days of exploring the Iceland. Our host Erlingur was helpful with ideas of what Iceland has to offer along with his communication was excellent. This location is perfect for what site we wanted to see as we were only here for 7 days. We primarily stayed in the southern portion of Iceland (as far east as Vik) and Reykjavik. Visited Westman Island for a day. We were able to see the puffins and hike the countryside/volcanos. We hiked to the Reykjadalur hot spring thermal river and saw all the familiar waterfalls, Geysir, Kerid Crater and Blue Lagoon. We took an excursion our to the Katla Glacier & Ice Caves and did snorkeling in ice cold water in Silfra. Baked rye bread in Laugarvatin. All of these excursions are a must! We found amazing restaurants during our stay. The most unique and a great experience is the tomato farm. Vínstofa Friðheima - Winebar & Bistro. Try to make a reservation at at Friðheimar. Truly a unique place. We will be back someday to explore more of this sensational island. I highly recommend staying at the Fensalir Cabin. Thank you for your hospitality.

Amazing stay in the coziest place!

A bunch of my med school friends and I stayed here for our trip to Iceland and we were so pleased with the experience. It was the perfect basecamp for us as we travel mostly during the day and came back to the best amenities and such a great open space for all of us to relax. Communication was thorough but through WhatsApp and through a very detailed handbook left inside! Would absolutely recommend this place to future guests!

Family Vacation in Iceland

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We were travelling with children and grandparents and the home was perfectly equipped for all of us. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals and the house was also a convenient distance to a town with shops and restaurants. This was a great home base to see many attractions. In addition to the great outdoor space, the house was also comfortable and clean. Check in/out was easy and the owners were very accommodating. Thanks for hosting us on our Iceland adventure.

Fantastic place

The place was as described. Beautiful home; great views from large windows. Very warm and comfortable Nice shower; rooms; kitchen; extremely quiet rural area. Grounds are muddy outside if you try to walk but easy to park car at door. It’s a bit of a drive to get to key tourist attractions. If you follow detailed instructions in book then you can get everything to work Hot tub and sauna makes you very spoiled and pampered. Host very responsive and was kind to allow early check in

Winter visit

The cabin location and amenities were fantastic, we could not have been happier. Owners were accommodating and make things easy with a lot of resources and information about the cabin. We didn’t use the hot tub more than one time due to windy cold conditions - also a wee intimidating to have to put water in it when it’s cold and blowy. Sauna was fabulous but took quite some time and the floor rarely got warm enough due to the cold.
