Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mosfellsbær

Lovely place. Great views.

Loved this home away from home! It had everything we needed. The hot tub was so nice after a long day of hiking and the laundry machines were a blessing. Favorite spot we visited was the Gjain - a hidden oasis that required a bit of F road adventures. If we ever visit again, we will try to reserve this place. It was wonderful!

Really amazing place at a very low price!

We couldn’t have dreamt of a better location for a trip to Iceland. Anna was superb in the least up and gave som many helpful suggestions. She was an impeccable host. So kind. Friendly and helpful. Thank you both for an idyllic stay.

We had an amazing time at Emma and Oskar’s place. The location was serene and breathtaking. Beautiful views of the water and wildlife. The home was extremely cozy, tasteful, and had everything we could ask for. The deck had gorgeous views, a wonderful hot tub, the water was always hot, the beds were comfortable and the entire place had a cozy feel. Hosts gave very clear check in instructions which made it a breeze. The home is close to everything you need. We had an amazing time and highly recommend to anyone traveling to Iceland.

Nice home convenient to the Golden Circle. Sandra had great communication and was very helpful when we arrived late in the day. Home was tidy and included at the promised amenities. We wish we could have had more time in the area and in this home.

A great cabin just outside of Selfoss. Great for a family - kids loved the trampoline and pole tennis. A cozy cabin with wood burning stove. We loved it! Thank you.

I came to Versalir Cabin for a few nights with my husband and our two small children. The cabin was very comfortable especially on our first night when it was raining and very windy, the accommodations were SO cozy! The cabin was exactly as pictured and described and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. I expected to have a harder time finding the cabin as the instructions for getting there mentioned that my GPS may only take us 90% of the way there, and that I should rely on the written directions for the rest of the way. We did print out the written directions however my apple maps took us right there anyway so that was a relief and made it easy for the rest of our trip as we were coming and going to be able to rely on GPS. The location was under 20 minutes to downtown Selfoss and probably 15 minutes to Kerid Crater, under an hour to many other main locations one would want to visit as well like Gullfoss and the Geysir. We would DEFINITELY stay here again! :)

One of the best places we stayed while in Iceland. We were able to walk to the private black sand beach to watch the sunset. So picturesque and beautiful. The yurt was very comfortable. The heated beds were perfect. Even caught a glimpse of the northern lights! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great cabin at a great location, close to lots of nice sightseeing. The cabin itself feels very homey, and had lots to play with for our 1,5 yo old son. Agnes is a great host as well!

Excellent location - 20 minute walk into the downtown core, and there is a bus stop right out front (the buses are incredibly easy to use!). Great views. Quick walk to Nettó or Bónus to stock up on groceries. The free, easy, open parking situation combined with being located right on the edge of the downtown core make it perfect for visitors who want to spend time in Reykjavik while also having a convenient base for road trips. Nina is a good host. Would stay again!

This place was peaceful, gorgeous, and exactly what I was looking for. The view was amazing, centrally located near both the golden circle and restaurants and amenities in selfoss. Sigrun and Sigurdur were wonderful hosts. The little stream chuckling beside the place was lovely. I would stay here again.

If you’re looking for a quiet getaway that’s also close to attractions around the golden circle (1 hour or even less for Kerid crater) and south coast (1-2 hours depending on where you are going), this is the place. Steinunn’s cabin is up on her family farm property, and it was restful and gorgeous. The only downside is that we only had a few days there - if we had more time we certainly would have explored more of the farm and area around.

Location was perfect for sightseeing near and far. The airbnb was very comfortable and warm with a well equipped kitchen. Trausti was a great host. I would highly recommend this place.

Of course! Here’s a shorter version: ⸻ A Truly Special Stay Staying at Johanna’s place was the highlight of our trip to Iceland. Knowing it was built by her father made it feel incredibly personal and meaningful—there’s a warmth and charm in every detail. Johanna was a fantastic host: kind, responsive, and always ready with thoughtful recommendations that made our visit even more memorable. The location is peaceful and perfectly situated for exploring. We left feeling connected not just to Iceland, but to the story behind this beautiful home. Absolutely unforgettable!

Marteinn welcomed us in his lovely house. It was clean and comfortable and there were lots of birds around the house. He was very quick in responding and we felt right at home. Thank you!

Björgvin is a great host and his place was everything our group was looking for. Remote house, with a hot tub, grill and good vibes. The location and the view from the terrace is beautiful with only a few minutes drive to the nearest town. Björgvin was really friendly and offered his assistance if we needed anything which was a nice touch.

What a great find! The place was perfect and the rooms were spacious, warm and comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub and I loved the books! I read a Steinbeck book which I greatly appreciated. The kitchen was beautiful as was the sunroom. I imagine the sunroom would be the perfect room to see the Northern Lights. The neighborhood was peaceful and we even got to spend a little time with one of the neighbors who was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very spacious, clean & nicely designed. If you are looking for horseback riding our kids LOVED “Riding Tours South Iceland.” Our stay was absolutely wonderful. I would love to return there someday.

We spent two nights at the cabin. It exceeded all our expectations. The house has all the equipment described. The hot tub made a difference. In the middle of nature, well kept and clean. The host is communicative and polite. We would repeat.

A peaceful and private cabin surrounded by mountains and a lake. The house is beautiful and spacious. A well stocked kitchen made it easy to cook dinners and breakfast. Plenty of space for 5 adults and 1 child to spread out and relax. Thankful for such a kind, patient, responsive host!

We loved our short but sweet stay at this peaceful location. Would definitely return on another trip! A perfect location for Golden Circle or heading further south. Loved it and the surroundings!

Photos were very accurate. The view in the morning was so pretty, and the house wasn’t hard to find. Jonina wasn’t available in person, but her sister helped direct us to the cabin at night, with no problem at all, and was very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay!

A spacious, well lit apartment with great views and walking distance from the city centre. Edda was a very responsive and helpful host. The apartment was equipped with everything needed for a long trip to Iceland. We would definitely stay there again!

Amazing amenities and location (quiet and residential but close to center!), and very good communication from Konni, even while he was traveling overseas. The neighborhood and neighbors are also very nice. Altogether great experience when traveling with friends or family!
