Wake up beneath a glass roof with views of the Eyjafjoll Mountains at Aurora Glass Cabin I, a 34-square-meter retreat for two in South Iceland. This cabin near Hvolsvollur combines a private sauna and outdoor hot tub with a secluded countryside setting ideal for northern lights viewing. It's a great match for couples who want privacy while staying just minutes from the Ring Road.
Location & Nearby
The cabin sits at Ormskot, a farm beneath the Eyjafjoll Mountains surrounded by the open countryside of South Iceland. The Ring Road is less than a mile away, providing quick access to the region's major attractions while keeping the cabin away from the main road.
Hvolsvollur is the nearest major service town, 22 miles (35 kilometers) west, with grocery stores, gas stations, a pharmacy, and several restaurants and cafes. Dining options are also available closer to the property, with two restaurants within a 5-minute drive and several more within 6 miles (10 kilometers).
The cabin sits roughly midway between two of the South Coast's most famous waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall is 10 miles (16 kilometers) west, while Skogafoss Waterfall is the same distance to the east. Solheimajokull Glacier, a popular destination for glacier hiking, is about 16 miles (26 kilometers) away.
Other South Coast highlights are also within easy driving distance. Dyrholaey Peninsula is 26 miles (42 kilometers) away, followed by Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach at 31 miles (49 kilometers). Horseback riding is available less than a mile from the cabin, providing another way to experience the surrounding countryside.
Reykjavik is 88 miles (141 kilometers) from the property, with the drive taking around two hours. This location makes Aurora Glass Cabin I particularly convenient for travelers following the Ring Road or spending several days exploring the South Coast.
Facilities & Amenities
The property is one 34-square-meter cabin for two guests. The bedroom roof and the front wall are glass, so the mountains and the sky stay in view from the king bed. Underfloor heating, air conditioning, and blackout side curtains keep it comfortable in every season.
The bathroom is private, with a walk-in shower that opens straight into the sauna. Towels, linens, bathrobes, free toiletries, a hairdryer, and hypoallergenic bedding are all provided, and the floors are tiled throughout.
A kitchenette runs along one wall with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, and kettle, plus kitchenware for light meals. There is a dining table indoors and outdoor dining furniture as well, and a washing machine and dryer for longer stays.
Out on the private patio, the hot tub faces open farmland, with a garden and terrace around it. Sheep and Icelandic horses graze near the cabin through the summer, and the same spot works for northern lights watching in winter, since there is almost no light pollution here.
Free private parking is right by the door and Wi-Fi is free throughout. The cabin has its own entrance, sits all on ground level, and is non-smoking. Board games are provided, pets are not allowed, and a crib can be added free of charge on request.
