The Secret Cabin with hot tube in nature reserve close to Reykjavik

This attractive cabin is located on a hillside in a beautiful nature reserve about 20 kilometers from Reykjavik city center. Follow the staircase of about 50 wooden steps up to the cabin. They are 120 cm wide and 32 cm deep, especially designed by one of our well-known Icelandic architects.

A stunning moss-covered lava field and wildflowers surround the area.

Experience the best air and tap water in the world. The Blue Lagoon is on the way from the airport, and the Golden Circle and the South Coast are great day trips.

This location is perfect for exploring the South West area. You can go horseback riding in the forest from the nearby stables or simply sit on the veranda and breathe the clean air. See recommendation cntraveler, cabin is nr 18, scroll down.

The cabin was wonderful! We had a very pleasant and quiet stay within convenient driving distance of everything we wanted to see. The hot tub is a bit tricky to figure out at first, but once you figure it out, it’s smooth sailing. Katrín was very kind and quick to respond whenever we had questions and there are some guides at the property to help travelers during their stay.
