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.

It was an amazing experience. Mr. Iceland gave the kids a tour of the stables and spoke about the horses. My kids were really happy.
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.

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.

Sleeping with the horses is a quiet retreat conveniently located to the Golden Circle. Make sure you rent a 4-wheel-drive if you go in the winter. The last 4 km is on an unpaved road. We got stuck in the mud when we took a wrong turn. The good news is that, Hörður was our knight in shining armor and brought a large tractor to pull us out in the middle of a driving rainstorm.
The Blessi cabin is actually one large room with a separate bathroom. There are a minimum of dishes in the kitchen, but everything is in perfect condition and as clean as can be. It was probably the most comfortable bed we slept in in Iceland. We would be happy to stay there again.

The property was clean and perfectly ready for us. A real mood setter!
The property, all four cabins appear to be brand new.
The horses are right there and just a few steps out from the back sliding glass doors. No, it does not smell like horse business.
We were there one night and saw the Northern Lights for over an hour. This is a great location for searching for the lights. Almost zero light pollution and no mountains to obscure the views
No TV but you shouldn't need one. There is WiFi if you need to get on touch with the rest of the world.
If we ever end up back in Iceland, we will be staying for at least three nights rather than just one. One is not enough.
Our favorite location out of five stays.
