Rustic getaway by Lake Mývatn

Set on the peaceful eastern shore of Lake Mývatn, Vogafjós Guesthouse offers a warm, family-run retreat surrounded by Iceland’s dramatic volcanic landscapes. Just a five-minute drive from Reykjahlíð village, it’s perfectly placed for exploring natural wonders such as the Goðafoss waterfall and the lava formations of Dimmuborgir. The Mývatn Nature Baths, less than 10 minutes away by car, provide the perfect place for a soothing geothermal soak after a day of adventures.

Built from three traditional log cabins, this cosy guesthouse comes complete with well-furnished rooms decorated  with natural materials that reflect the property’s close connection to the surrounding Icelandic countryside. Unwind as you take in the tranquil views, or visit the working family farm, home to cows and sheep.

Find out more about Myvatn

A volcanic wonderland sprawling across 37 square kilometres in the far north of Iceland, the Mývatn region is a place of unique natural beauty that’s home to the fourth largest lake in the country. The waters here are shallow, just four metres at their deepest, while its tiny islands are inhabited by an abundance of wildlife. A sparsely populated and perfectly serene place, the main settlement is Reykjahlíð – a tiny village of just 230 inhabitants – on the northern shores of Lake Mývatn.
