About this cottage rental

Our two newly built Herrulækur vacation homes offer a fantastic view of the Þjórsá River. It’s an absolute delight to enjoy the evening sun on the large terrace. The cottages are surrounded by nature—birds, sheep, and horses are your neighbors. This also makes it a great spot to see the Northern Lights, as there are no other lights to interfere. The cottages measure 31 m² and feature a living/dining area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The bedroom has a bed measuring 1.60 m x 2 m and a loft bed measuring 1.20 m x 2 m, and the living room has a sofa bed (1.40 m x 2 m). The mattresses are of very high quality. The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher, a 4-burner ceramic cooktop, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, and a French press coffee maker. The house is very well insulated and always warm, even in winter. On the large wooden deck, wooden furniture invites you to enjoy the scenery. Of course, the houses have free Wi-Fi.

Our family lives just a few hundred meters away from your vacation home; we’re always happy to help with any questions you may have. During the summer months, we offer horseback rides ranging from one hour to multi-day trips on our well-trained Icelandic horses. Rides through the Icelandic countryside are available for both beginners and experienced riders.

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.
