Description
Sleep beneath a glass roof at Aurora Glass Cabin II, a 34-square-meter retreat for two on a small farm in South Iceland. A sea-facing Finnish sauna, outdoor hot tub, and horses grazing around the property add to the countryside setting. It's an ideal escape for couples who want privacy and easy access to the South Coast.
Location & Nearby
Aurora Glass Cabin II stands at Ormskot, a working farm in the Eyjafjoll countryside, surrounded by fields with mountains on one side and the coast beyond the other. Despite the secluded setting, the Ring Road is only about half a mile away, making day trips along the South Coast straightforward.
Hvolsvollur and Vik provide the main services on either side of the property. Hvolsvollur is 22 miles (35 kilometers) away, while Vik is about 30 miles (49 kilometers) from the cabin. Both towns have grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and other useful services for travelers.
Several of South Iceland's best-known natural attractions can be reached without a long drive. Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss Waterfalls are each around 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the property, placing the cabin conveniently between them.
Solheimajokull Glacier is 16 miles (26 kilometers) away, while Dyrholaey Peninsula is about 26 miles (42 kilometers) away and becomes a popular birdwatching spot during the summer puffin season.
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is around 31 miles (49 kilometers) away. Travelers planning to visit the Westman Islands can also reach Landeyjahofn ferry harbor in about 18 miles (28 kilometers), making a day trip possible from the cabin.
Facilities & Amenities
The cabin is a single unit for two: one bedroom with a king bed, set under a glass roof with glass across the front wall. Floor heating and air conditioning hold the temperature steady, while blackout side curtains and a sleep mask handle the bright nights of summer.
The bathroom is private, with a walk-in shower that leads straight into the sauna. From the sauna bench you look south toward the sea and the Westman Islands. Bathrobes, towels, linens, free toiletries, and a hairdryer are all included.
The kitchenette holds a stovetop, a fridge and freezer, a dishwasher, a microwave, a kettle, and a capsule coffee machine, with kitchenware for simple meals. A dining table sits indoors and there is outdoor dining furniture on the patio, plus a washing machine and dryer.
The jacuzzi is out on the patio under open sky, with the terrace and garden around it. Sheep and Icelandic horses graze in the field beside you. On dark, clear nights this is where you sit and watch for the northern lights, and in June the sun barely sets.
Free private parking is on site and Wi-Fi is free. The cabin has a private entrance, sits at ground level, and is entirely non-smoking.
Why Choose Aurora Glass Cabin II?
Spend slow evenings at Aurora Glass Cabin II, where the routine is simple: sauna, jacuzzi, then a long look at the sky from bed. Summer brings the midnight sun over the mountains and winter brings aurora overhead, without leaving the patio. Check availability now by choosing a date.
