About this property

Stekkar - Cozy Log Cabin on the Golden Circle, Warm and Welcoming Spa Facilities

  • Stekkar is a charming and fully equipped log cabin with an additional chalet. The main house has two beautiful bedrooms with double and twin beds and an extra sofa bed if needed, also a spacious and cozy living room and kitchen. Together with the features of the separate chalet, offering an additional bedroom, a Finnish sauna and a fully equipped bathroom, it makes the vacation effect perfect. The geothermal tub is located in the terrace between the two cabins.
    The geothermal underfloor heating provides comfortable temperatures day and night, in winter and summer. The 5G WiFi offers a good connection for internet and TV.
    From the house you have a magnificent view over the vast open area and farmlands with a beautiful view on the mountain range and the second largest glacier in Iceland, "Langjökull".
    In Stekkar you have very good access to all kinds of attractions and activities in the surroundings: first class geothermal baths and swimming facilities, horseback riding, trout or salmon fishing (summer), golfing, river rafting (summer), great culinary sites including the tomato restaurant "Fridheimar" and mushroom restaurant "Farmers Bistro", not to forget mountain hiking and snowmobiling.
    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!

    Are you heading West or North? We also run the quality cabins "Hamragil" close to the town Akureyri up North (Vrbo rental No 3925011), "Tvera" at the south coast of the Westfjords (4084081) and "Brekka", right at the bay Hvalfjord, just north of Reykjavik (9257064).

Stekkar was the perfect choice for our stay, its location roughly halfway between Reykjavík and Vík made it an easy home base for exploring both directions. The host was fantastic, always available and happy to arrange the rooms to suit our family’s needs.The house itself was a peaceful retreat after long days of sightseeing, clean, spacious, and well-organized, with plenty of room for family dinners, game nights, and unwinding in the hot tub. There’s a small market close by for essentials, a natural lagoon just a short trip away, and a genuinely fun local pub, Grund Kaffi, Bar & Grill (Bessie)- the owner and regulars made for a great night out.We’d happily stay here again!

This was the perfect cabin for our home base while in Iceland. The cabin is far enough away from the city so that can truly experience Icelands nature yet close enough to attractions. The geothermic hot tub and sauna were amazing at the end of each day. Jb was very easy to contact. It felt like home while there. Also the view of the northern lights from the cabin were spectacular.

Home away from Home

The place is perfect after a long day of exploring. It has everything you need. Jon is amazing at communicating and making your stay perfect. The location is about 20 minutes from the main road so be prepared to drive but this is the case wherever you stay in Iceland which is bigger than most anticipate.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in Stekkar Cottage. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and check in was very easy. My two teenagers were both happy to have their own rooms. My college aged kid stayed in the guest house, which has its own bathroom and a sauna. The hot tub was a great way to end the day, with a glass of wine enjoying the beautiful view.

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.

Simply gorgeous

We were allowed to stay in the house for 11 days. It is ideally located for excursions to the most famous sights. You have a great view from the hot tube. The sauna simply invites you to relax after a long day of hiking. The house is large and has everything you need. We had a very pleasant communication with the host and received a lot of information before our arrival. We can highly recommend the property!

Accidental Delight

I thought I was booking a place near Reykjavik -- guess I didn't understand the distances on the map! Well, Fludir / Stekkar turned out to be a much better location. It was central for the sites we wanted to visit (waterfalls, Geysir, Black Sand Beach, Lava Center, Thingvellir, Heimaey, etc.), and surrounded by amazing scenery. The photos in the listing don't do justice to the view, which is spectacular. The lodge was cozy and comfortable. Property manager Jon was easy to contact, and quickly dealt with the one very small maintenance issue we called to his attention. We would happily stay at Stekkar again.

Wonderful cabin/home

The cabin is cozy and well appointed. We had several problems that were taken care of as soon as was feasible. It is Iceland, so they are very helpful, and did come up with temporary fixes in some cases. Some things do take longer than in the U.S. I would stay there again for sure. The location is a bit off when trying to find it, the links on VRBO do need to be attended to. I think there are 3 different ones. We drove around awhile before finding it by the pictures. Very nice fixtures and comfortable.

Amazing Stay!! Breathtaking View!

The view from Stekkar is breathtaking! Farmland below, lots of horses and sheep, river, church, skyline of glacial mountains where the sun sets. We really enjoyed being in the countryside, relaxing environment.Enjoyed the hot tub multiple times. Beds were comfy, kitchen adequately stocked. WiFi good overall, especially with two twenty-somethings. We used the grill a couple times after visiting the Farmers market just down the road with great fresh produce and local meats. Good location for us as we were mainly doing the southern part for our 7 day stay, really 5 full days with travel. Host is very kind and responsive. Nice welcome bottle of sparkling wine enjoyed! Cabin is situated high having the best view, may need 4 wheel dive especially if staying in winter months. We were visiting from US and rented one anyway. From this location we went to Reykjavík for a combo puffin whale watch, and had a good meal in the city at Public House GastroPub. We went to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Reynisfjara Beach, Glacier Lagoon Zodiak boat into the Lagoon, Diamond Beach across after before heading back. Download the Parka App to pay for parking in these attractions. Went in the other direction back to Keflavík to Blue Lagoon for a great spa type experience. Lastly, went to Landmannalaugar for a hike with even more amazing views! If you like the peace and quiet, relaxation, this is the cabin for you!

Everything was awesome at the place… great for 2 small families. Small house fit 2 people well and has bathroom and sauna. Big house comfortably fit our 5 people but could have been 6 w/a shared bed. We had everything we needed plus nice whirlpool and great view of the midnight sun. Host (Jon) was awesome and helped us plan ahead on what we needed as well as being available while staying in Iceland! I had lots of questions and he assisted with all! Great view, nice location so we could go in all directions. recommend… would absolutely stay again! Thank you, Jon!

Our trip to Iceland was a long anticipated vacation our family was excited for and Stekkar Lodge was the perfect starting point! The lodge was ideally situated for our day trips on the Golden Circle and the perfect place to relax and recoup on our return. The lodge was clean, comfortable and warm and had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful week staying at this property the last week of May. Two young adults had their own bedrooms in the main house, while the parents had the separate cabin. Having a full kitchen was important to us. We cooked all mornings, made picnic lunches, and cooked 5 of the 6 nights. Basic staples (spices, oil) were provided. We wish there had been some measuring cups but we made due. The living space was used nightly for games and hanging out. We appreciated having the laundry room and used it twice. The sauna was used daily. While the hot tub has the most beautiful setting, we found it difficult to stay in for long because it didn’t stay hot enough. The location is fabulous if your goal is to stay primarily in the Golden Circle. We saw all of the local sights and the access to two wonderful hot springs was a bonus. The owners manual provided great ideas for favorite local spots to visit which was appreciated. The drive to Fluoir is 8 minutes if you need groceries or alcohol. After spending our days exploring the beautiful sights, we looked forward to coming back to the house for the remainder of the day. We highly recommend staying at the Stekkar Lodge.
