Summary: 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!)
