Vacation home by the river Þjórsá, directly in nature, wide landscape, ideally situated

This place is 5 stars. We stayed at one of two cabin’s on Renate’s horse farm. Our cabin was located close enough to Selfoss, and Golden Circle, but far enough where you have a peaceful river, horses, and quiet. We read about how folks wished they had more time here, and made it a point to stay for three nights, so we could enjoy the cabin, land, and views on mornings and evenings after touring. Renate was very communicative, kind, and accommodating. We even learned about Icelandic horses and took a beginner’s ride along the river with her team member Caroline (thank you for your patience!)

A beautiful, peaceful, restorative place. Perfect for viewing Northern Lights. Host was amazing and let us stay late on our last day when my son was sick. Very understanding and kind.

We spend three nights at this place and did enjoy it very much. The accomodation is spacious, tidy and modern. Any necessary communication went smoothly and we got a good chance for horse rides too. The staff was very friendly and did perfectly adapt to the individual skill levels. No doubt we would choose this place again, highly recommended.

This was a great place to stay, amazing views and so peaceful and close to many sights and activities within an hour drive.

We had a perfect few days at the cottage. Beautiful setting, clean and accommodating! Easy access to everything we wanted to see.

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.

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.

The cottage is very clean and has nice views. We got bad weather during our stay but Renate was very helpful, which gave us some comfort.

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.

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!
