We absolutely loved our stay here! The home was wonderful, peaceful, and in a great location for exploring the Golden Circle. The geothermal hot tub was fabulous, the showers had excellent water pressure, and the porches were a lovely bonus for enjoying the surroundings. The owners were wonderful to communicate with and made everything easy. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on our final day and watched them right from the hot tub! What an unforgettable way to spend our last evening at Stekkar. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area!

Besides being a wonderful place to stay. We all can't say enough about the view. Morning coffee on the deck, overlooking the mountains and area were spectacular. So much to see and just not enough time.

We loved our stay at Stekkar. The check in process was smooth and the host was helpful throughout our stay. The hot tub and sauna were a nice touch and the location offered wonderful long sunset views. The kitchen was well stocked for basic cooking needs.

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.

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.

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!

Iceland Family Vacation

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. Jon was a responsive and helpful host. We couldn't ask for more.

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.

The self check in process and communication was very easy & efficient. The host was very responsive. The combination of the Sauna & hot tub was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and it was a nice touch having robes & water shoes provided. Thank you very much for an amazing stay, highly recommend this cottage. We enjoyed the many thoughtful touches to make our stay comfortable. We wish we had checked out this host’s other locations around Iceland.

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!

Beautiful place - excellent hosts!

Jon and Auja greeted us with some local pastries and a hot cup of coffee after helping us up the hill through a recent snowstorm, so we got off to a very friendly start. The place is beautiful and the view is amazing. We had a chance to relax in the hot tub and see the northern lights! Can’t beat the serenity and joy of the cabin and the location was great to see some of the great sights in the area like Geysir and the Secret Lagoon. Can’t say enough about how great the hosts were - Jon went above and beyond to help me rescue my car from the snow both direct using his 4x4 and from afar by arranging for help from a neighbor. Literally saved us to be able to make our flight on time! 100% recommend staying with Jon here or any of his properties!

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.
