Icelanders have spent generations breeding their horses (the only type of horse allowed in the country) to withstand Iceland's unpredictable, and often bad weather and to be able to walk easily through the country's uneven, rocky terrain. They have a thick coat, are very friendly, and have two unique gaits, called tölt and flugskeið. You see them everywhere in the countryside, even more than cows!

We saw this handsome guy on our drive between Skógafoss and Vík.

"The stay was amazing but we did not have hot water in the evening which was very upsetting. But overall very good."

"The views around the property were grand. It is an amazing property nestled at the base of some mountains. The best thing is the view of the mountain in the morning. Only two concerns; we came very late after hours and it was hard to get the access code by messaging and calling; and there was a used makeup sponge left in the bathroom. "

"Very clean and updated, And a major plus there was a washer and dryer which is a must have in my opinion! Everything in town was walking distance and it had beautiful views of the mountains, I will be staying here again if I ever come back to Iceland! "
