Lovely and cozy stay. The cabin has everything you need to relax. Enjoyed walking around and seeing the horses and property. There was also a kitty whom was just the sweetest!! A great place to relax and unwind. Please note there are no TV’s in the cabin(GOOD!) and the horses don’t directly come to your door but only 20ft behind an electric fence. If I had but a minor criticism it’s check-in. I felt silly that I walked up to Mr.Iceland’s house but he was out…maybe have a small sign to advise to check the email? (Did that afterwards) I had another guest ask me about check-in while I was walking around the farm. Still, overall highly recommend!

Amazing but.....
This place is amazing. Everything was great but there are things that i need to nitpick here.
1. It took me an hour to be able to lock the front door. I don't know about the other cabins but the one i was given, Kristall, was giving me that issue.
2. The air conditioner was not working or i was not able to get it to work.
3. The shower was loose at the bottom causing water to spray out.
4. Judging by the name and pictures i assumed there was going to be horses everywhere. There was only 2.
So with all of that i am only giving it 4 stars and not lower only because of how it made it us feel. It felt home to us and that's what we are always looking for.
Wonderful stay! It was raining and cold while we were there so we didn't get to interact with the horses too much but the room was lovely and it provided a very comfortable stay.
Spacious and clean cabin. Very modern but cute. Felt safe and loved watching the horses out back. Wish to return someday with better weather. Loved everything about my visit.

The cabin was great. It was definitely a home away from home. We got to pet the horses and were able to see the northern lights on a clear day.
The only con I have is that our beds were on the softer side and lumpy but it didn’t factor in my rating.
My advice is definitely come before sundown because the roads are dark and road is somewhat rocky. Also, get your snacks and/or food before you come cause it a decent drive to find something and most of the stores close early
Beautiful accommodation away from the busy tourist areas! Recommend to anyone visiting Iceland ☺️ also can’t forget you get the added bonus of meeting some of the most beautiful Icelandic ponies 🐴
Lovely cabin. However bit disappointed there were only two ponies in the field.. did expect a few more given the name of the property..

Lovely stay BUT deceptive marketing!
We loved our stay BUT the marketing photos and name of the hotel are very deceptive. You DO NOT get the horses coming to your cabin, there is a fence (electric) at least 20ft or more away from the cabins and the horses don’t come near you, you can see them afar from your cabin only.
You can see Icelandic horses alllll over Iceland so this isn’t really a special experience.
The cabins are wonderful and so is the overall location but you will be disappointed if you are going to want to do what the girl in the photos is doing as that is not going to happen!
I highly suggest they remove the photos of the horses coming to the cabin so they don’t get more disappointed guests.
The stay was great. Clean property and all ready for arrival. However, there was no one to contact for further needs. We needed an iron and an extra pillow as we were 3 staying but there was no communication on their end.

We loved staying here! Such an amazing location with all the beautiful horses, very modern and clean cabins, also very close to many waterfalls and hiking locations! Would absolutely stay here again, highly recommend!
Unbelievable experience and a must see. Truly sleeping among horses on the most peaceful, picturesque property. Only about 15 minutes to a town with several dining options and a grocery store. We got to pet the horses and take a beautiful evening walk alongside their pasture. The cabins themselves are gorgeous and very luxurious- the bedding was amazingly comfortable. I wish we had more than one night! A once in a lifetime experience.
Well appointed units in a lovely quiet rural setting. Horses were entertaining. Kitchen incuded a induction cooktop and dishwasher. Great wifi and comfortable beds.
An incredibly unique property, with Icelandic horses right behind your new & fresh cabin. The option to book private or group horse back riding tours with the team here made the experience complete for our family. Highly recommend.
