The location was wonderful and tranquil. The only neighbours were the horses. It was close enough to Egilstaddir for groceries etc. and we also enjoyed the Vok Nature Baths which were pretty close too. The cabin was cozy and had just about everything you would need.

Beautiful cottage and beautiful location! We really enjoyed our stay and our daughter went horseback riding nearby!

Mike United States of America

This is a very nice place. The owner came to welcome us. The horse farm added the charm to the time spent here.

Kira Israel

One of the best places we stayed at during our roundtrip. The cottage was very nice and comfortable and the location was amazing! Very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by horses. Everything was clean (some of the dishes had to be cleaned again but that‘s not the owners fault if people aren‘t able to clean up after themselves). We were staying there with 2 adults and one child and for us the size of the cottage was sufficient. All in all we had a great time and would come back again.

This was probably the nicest spot in out Iceland trip. The huts are super cozy and have everything you need. Clean bathroom and small kitchen with basic equipment for simple meals. It was clean and the beds were very comfy. Really what we needed after a long drive and hike day.

Host Info

Host Review Score
Our farm is located 12 kilometers away from the Town Egilsstaðir. We breed horses and also we have cottages for accommodation. It´s a quiet place and you will hear the birds in the night over the summer time, or over the winter time good conditions to see the Northern lights (Aurora). We try to keep it simple with our guests and give them all the privacy they need.
We are a married couple, Einar and Melanie. We have 3 children, two younger daughters 2 and 5 years old, and an 12 years old son. We have a small farm with 3 cottages for accomodation. We are breeding horses and we also keep our riding horses on the fields around the farm during the summer. Of course there is a dog named "Laila" living with us.
Not far away we have Hengifoss, wich is Icelands second highest waterfall. Dettifoss is 197 meters high and is a 40-50 minutes hike up to the waterfall. Many of our guests choose to go there. Ofcourse you can ask us for directions to any place nearby or travel tips.
