Relax on the farm
We stayed 2 nights in May when there were hundreds of baby lambs about! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. They also offer horseback rides which we enjoyed very much.

Fantastic stay!
Awesome property with scenic views and calm, serene setting. Perfect stop before heading to Vik. Didn’t get a chance to horse ride but allow for time to take in the views and appreciate the horses and sheep! Thanks Renate.

away from it all
What a relaxing environment from which to explore Iceland. We woke up to the sound of sheep and could gaze at them with the river and mountains in the back ground. It was bliss. No man made noises and near complete solitude.

Breathtaking and relaxing
The pictures and the listing do not do this place justice. It is a beautiful location very clean and equipped with everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Amazing views and loved how the location is close to everything we wanted to see. the family was very nice and accommodating. We had our privacy, but yet had everything we needed at hand, I would definitely come back here again and have recommended this place to all my friends who are feeling adventurous, and want a relaxing clean experience. My only suggestion: a shower caddy would make this place is absolutely perfect!

Amazing experience
Great place for exploring the Golden Circle, the Westman Islands, and the South Coast. Really clean house with everything that you might need for your trip to the Land of Fire and Ice. Tasty tap water, clean air and amazing night sky with thousands of stars visible to the naked eye. Comfy beds and helpful host. Really quiet, with horses and sheep being your only neighbors. Highly recommend.

Perfect first experience with Iceland and VRBO
Wonderful, beautiful and relaxing setting to restore and explore! Easily commute to Selfoss, Golden Circle and Southern area. Easy, relaxing day trip to Blue Lagoon. The farm has beautiful Icelandic horses which can be rented for riding; we enjoyed watching them especially in front of the lake as the sun set or rose. After overnight trip from U.S.A., host graciously offered earlier arrival time which was much appreciated! Cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed to enjoy some meals at home. It’s very much designed to comfortably house guests - enough storage space to unpack a family of 3 for the week and store luggage under the bed. There was an additional pull-out sofa bed for two more people but we didn’t use it. Renate was there for us if we needed her but gave us complete privacy during our stay. We felt extremely safe in the area, we were very warm and cozy during this winter visit, always had hot water quickly and beds/bedding were very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything else!
